This study is a case analysis on non-face-to-face communicative English language learning conducted in a university during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to draw the direction of effective communicative language learning approaches by investigating the students' satisfaction and perceptions of the two online teaching types:Asynchronous pre-recorded ‘Video lecture' and synchronous ‘Real-time lecture’. This study used both a questionnaire and interviews to examine perceptions and satisfaction of 114 university students (58 students for Video lecture/56 students for Real-time lecture) taking an online general English conversation program. The results showed that the satisfaction level of students in the Video lecture was more statistically significant than that in the Real-time lecture. The students in the Video lecture perceived that the class is effective in terms of ‘interest in learning’ ‘concentration on learning’ and ‘self-directed learning’. The students in the real-time lecture were satisfied with the teacher-student interaction while they revealed difficulties in dealing with the technological issues with small group online activities. In terms of language learning, the Video lecture was helpful to improve listening, speaking and reading skills while the Real-time lecture was helpful to improve listening and speaking skills. Educational implications of this study are discussed. (200 words)
