In April 2020, the corona virus pandemic caused most universities in Japan, and the rest of the world, to go online. This article reflects upon the challenges faced in creating an online asynchronous oral interpretation class. Through the reflection, the need for sensitivity and attention to student well-being, particularly mental well-being, is considered an essential focus for the teacher, in addition to learning. The article introduces a parody song project created which focused on nurturing the emotional well-being of the students. 2020年度前期は新型コロナウィルスの影響により日本においても多くの授業がオンラインで行われた。この論文では、ドラマの授業の中でも、特にオーラルインタープリテーションの授業においてオンデマンド方式で授業を行った試みを取り上げる。オンラインであるからこそ、学生の、特に1年生のメンタルケアに心を配る必要がある。この論文では、その点を考慮して行ったパロディーソングプロジェクトを紹介する。
