Abstract
The worldwide spread of the new coronavirus infection forced educators to conduct most courses online. Among the courses the author taught online were Introduction to Applied Linguistics and World Englishes. Both are lecture courses, but English learning activities using LINE were added. The participants first studied target subjects on an LMS and were asked to apply what they had learned to their English study. They were then instructed to send their teacher short voice files in English via LINE. The inclusion of creative answers to the questions about the chapter topics and learners themselves was encouraged. Then feedback was returned to each of the individual learners on LINE. The two courses were both accepted very positively. By drawing on some comments from the participants, the author examines the benefits and drawbacks of the courses. It is hoped that this report will provide some practical benefits to other hard-working language teachers teaching online during these chaotic days.
