This talk will share findings of research, including the benefits and drawbacks of VR and hybrid teaching.

2022-05-31 16:00:04 Teachers, meet Jo Gakonga, a teacher educator, online course creator, video maker, the founder of ELT-Training.com at our conference 'Lessons for the Future' on 11 June 2022.

In her talk 'Why teachers need a video voice', she will look at the reasons why video is so powerful for making connections, why teachers might (and might not) want to make video and I’ll also give you some top tips if you’re thinking about starting down this road.

Teachers using video for education is not new, but with the increased normalisation of online learning over the past two pandemic years, video creation is suddenly a skill that is more of a ‘must have’ than a ‘nice to know’ for teachers everywhere.

This might be to provide content for learners within the school you already work at, or to promote your services and make monetised online courses as an independent teacherpreneur.

2022-05-26 17:00:01 Teachers, meet Anne Robinson, the author of Fun for Starters, Movers and Flyers at our conference 'Lessons for the Future' on 11 June 2022.

She will talk about 'Adaptability: a crucial survival skill'.

In order to survive, all living beings need to be able to adapt to the conditions around them. In today’s fast-changing world, the ability to adapt may be more important than ever, both for ourselves as teachers and for our students, who will most probably need to develop essential skills for the jobs of today and of the future. Let’s consider what and how we can adapt, what adapting involves, as well as the things that should remain unchanged.

2022-05-25 17:00:02 ​ If you teach English to preschoolers or primary school students, you are probably familiar with the term "sight words". If not, we suggest finding out what these words are, why they are taught, and how.

From the very name "sight words" you can guess that these are words that students learn visually, not sounding them. And these are also the most commonly used words.

How do you know that students know these words? First of all, students can:

find a word in a list or line among other words;
find it in the text;
read it from the card;
spell the word and write it.

In our new blog post find some interesting ways to teach sight words. Open / Comment
