Monthly webinar: 'Teaching EAP in VR - what's possible?' presented by David Read
Date: Saturday 4 June 2022
Time: 15.00 UK time (check the time in your location)
"In this webinar, I'll report back on a pilot course ran between April-May 2021 which focussed on teaching productive aspects of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) via virtual reality (VR). The course used a special app called Immerse to plan and deliver the lessons. Aspects of productive EAP such as seminar and presentation skills were introduced during the course and students were asked for feedback after lessons each week to identify how useful they found them. The webinar will also explore the specific classroom management and pedagogy of teaching within virtual reality."
Please note that anyone may attend this live IATEFL monthly webinar but the recording and a certificate of attendance will only be available to IATEFL members, after the event, via their member dashboard.
