OVERVIEW
As more classes are being taught online, teachers are looking for practical ways to teach vocabulary in an e-environment. Some of us are teaching synchronous classes that meet online at a set class time (using platforms such as Zoom), while others have asynchronous courses that students complete according to a set schedule (using a learning management system such as Canvas or Moodle). Regardless of the class format, how can we best teach vocabulary? In this webinar, we will talk about the key principles of good vocabulary instruction and look at practical ideas for online instruction and how teachers can succeed in helping learners improve their vocabulary without putting an even greater strain on teacher time.
