OVERVIEW
This is part two in a three part series called Breaking Through the Screen: A Dozen Tips for Engaging Students in Online English Language Learning.
How can you keep your students engaged as they sit in front of a computer or tablet screen or even a small mobile device? How can you encourage them to use and practice English through this virtual space? Think about what your students can see, hear, and feel through the screen. It might be a flat surface, but you can make your screen come alive with the ways you talk and move, the ways you encourage students to participate, and the materials and objects you use–even simple objects from your own home! You will leave this webinar with lots of practical ideas for making your screen come alive for your English language learners.
