About the webinar
Our series of webinars with the 2019 ELTons winners started with the winners of the Innovation in Learner Resources category ‘Ready to Run: Authentic ELT video for language schools and teachers from Digital Learning Associates Ltd.’
The creators of Ready to Run share their thinking and pedagogy and give you strategies and practical tips on using authentic video in the classroom. DLA’s Ready to Run videos look to change the way English is taught by ensuring that teachers can use videos based on real stories, with real people, using real English, designed to engage Gen Z students while delivering effective learning, rather than stilted and artificial “ELT videos”.
You can sign up for an exclusive free trial of Ready to Run until 31 October 2019. Go to https://readytorun.digitallearningassociates.com using the voucher code WEBINAR
