Résumé
"Distance web-based learning is a popular strategy in elt teaching in Colombia. Despite of the growth of experiences, there are very few studies regarding teach ers' participation in these courses. This paper reports preliminary findings of an on-going study aiming at exploring the roles that a teach er plays in an efl reading comprehension distance web-based course. Data analysis suggests that teach ers play new roles solving technical problems, providing immediate feedback, interacting with students in a non traditional way, providing time management advice, and acting as a constant motivator. The authors conclude that efl teach ers require training for this new teaching roles and the analysis of webbased distance learning environments as an option under permanent construction that requires their active participation."
