This study aims to report on attempts to use interactivity in large classes. Due to the impact of
COVID-19, all of the classes at the university where the author teaches were offered online
throughout Spring 2020. One of the classes, “Overview of Interpreting” was a lecture-style
class with more than 100 undergraduate students. Challenges included managing a large size
class, making it interactive, and adjusting to online teaching. There are many pedagogical
reports on interpreting classes in a traditional classroom setting, but there is not much
information on large, online, lecture-style interpreting classes. Thus, this research shares the
challenges faced and the measures taken when managing large, online classes in comparison to
conventional classroom teaching. Additionally, students’ perceptions of online teaching are
described based on the results of an end-of-term questionnaire.
