Enhancing Remote University English Teaching Through Streaming Media Technology

Literature Review

Streaming media technology has seen significant advancements over the past few years, becoming a key part of distance education. The ability to send multimedia content live over the internet has changed how we teach and learn, offering more flexibility and access than ever before (Aithal & Maiya, 2023; Akour & Alenezi, 2022; Rulinawaty et al., 2023). One major benefit is the way it supports real-time interaction. Unlike older methods that rely on pre-recorded sessions, streaming media allows for instant feedback and personalized learning experiences (Varkey et al., 2023). Students can join live classes, take part in discussions, and get immediate responses from teachers. This not only boosts engagement but also creates a lively, responsive learning environment (Cheung et al., 2021).

Studies show that using streaming media can greatly improve student performance. Features like live quizzes, group talks, and role-playing turn students from passive listeners into active participants. The structured flow of lessons keeps students interested and motivated. Plus, data gathered through these platforms offer valuable insights into student learning patterns and difficulties, helping teachers make targeted adjustments (Badr et al., 2024; Khasawneh, 2023; Li & Wang, 2022).
