Online Teaching and Young Learners - making the most of the situation

Watch a recording of the fifth in our series of webinars to help you with online teaching.

About the webinar

The British Council is committed to supporting the use of technology for the continuation of education in a crisis. As many teachers find themselves in an unfamiliar situation of having to teach their classes online, with little or no experience, the British Council TeachingEnglish website is committed to providing as much support as possible to help you navigate your way through the world of online teaching.

This is the fifth in a series of webinars, which offers guidance in key areas. This webinar is for teachers working to deliver classes and maintain an online offer of education with young learners.

The world has been put on hold but education continues. As teachers we have been faced with this immense hurdle to adapt our teaching for the online world. We are succeeding but is there anything else we can do? How can we adapt our teaching for young learners? Join me in this session where we will be looking at different activities and strategies to keep young learners engaged.

 Maria Jose is a senior academic having experience of teaching English as a Local as well as an International Language. Her method of clearing complex concepts in simple English is quite amazing. She has a command over Modern Pedagogy with special reference to young children studying in schools where nowadays the Online Teaching has become a necessity. This Professional Development Webinar stresses for the proper utilization of various online tools in order to illustrate the teaching learning process. The Teaching Community all over the world is benefitted free of cost due to the ceaseless efforts of the British Council who not only conducts such excellent webinars but also preserves them in archives for future viewing.  The Council is requested to please show us the Chat Box recordings [when the programme was live] in order to clear our doubts, only if possible.
