The purpose of this study is to compare a teaching method that combines both synchronous and asynchronous online classes with a teaching method that uses only synchronous online classes in college English reading classes. The study aims to determine the level of interest, participation, and satisfaction of learners in classes and verify the effectiveness of the best non-face-to-face online learning. For the purpose, this study conducted an experimental study on a total of 61college students for 12 weeks. Thirty of them took the English reading classes using mixed learning(non real time + real time) as an experimental group A. The other thirty-one took the classes using only real time learning with Zoom as an experimental group B. For the study, data were collected from each group and their responses were analyzed through statistics. The experimental group A showed that class interest, class participation, and class satisfaction were statistically significant. Also, the experimental group A showed that learners themselves increase their willingness to study while self-directed continuos repetitive learning. These results show that mixed teaching method that combines real-time and non-real-time online class in college English reading classes has a significant influence on learners' learning interest and satisfaction. These findings can be considered helpful in improving teacher’s teaching styles by effectively applying mixed online learning to English Learning. (Hanbat National University)
