Online learning can be synchronous; through applications like WhatsApp and Skype, or asynchronous through e-mail, video, and podcast. Before the start of the online teaching in remote areas of Armenia for young adults, I need to find a teacher in the target area who would be interested to test cohort-based distance learning. To find that teacher I will use my professional as well as friends' network. Once I find the teacher 🙋 who will agree to collaborate, I will design a curriculum in collaboration with the teacher in the remote area.🚉🚗 Thus, we will go through instructional design, which requires appropriate learning theory with the corresponding methodology, objectives, activities, and assessment (D.Gonzales & R. St. Louis). This will be a blended classroom learning; part of the teaching will be done by the teacher; face-to-face; I will join the class the last 15 minutes of each class during the period previously agreed with the teacher. To bring something new to the class every last 15 minutes will be only games, to bring some fun to the learning process. This is an important part of the learning process, something that is really missing in our public schools, be it in Yerevan or in remote areas. I will just instruct the learners with the game's rules and the teacher will monitor the game. The main objective of the course will be the development of particularly 2 skills: speaking and listening. Activities, in this case, games will be designed following the objectives.
