Abstract
The forms and methods of education are closely related to the primary sources and forms of information transmission because information transmission is also one of the most essential components of knowledge transmission. During the last decade, when the Internet and online technologies and platforms have become available to almost everyone, they have actively penetrated the educational system, providing wider opportunities to make the educational process more continuous, diverse, and sometimes less tedious. In the case of teaching a foreign language, they also offer a chance to overcome the negative consequences arising from the lack of the target language environment and, at least, to minimize that. The main topic of this paper is the effective use of online platforms in the classroom and beyond, combining them with traditional textbooks and other educational materials in the context of guiding students' independent work. The paper seeks to highlight this problem by answering the following questions: - Which online resources are the most effective, which of them is preferable to use in the classroom, which is for outside of the school, and what percentage of the classroom time should not exceed the use of such resources? - What skills are these resources aimed at developing? What types of resources are preferable to use to develop specific skills in interactive and non-interactive skills development? The problems mentioned above are addressed in the paper from the angle of teaching Arabic as a second language in non-Arab countries, considering the teaching of literary Arabic and its dialects.
