Do More with Less (Webinar #2)
Channel: Teacher Training - World Learning
Date: 2024-02-27

ELT Classroom Connections is a new webinar series brought to you by World Learning's TESOL and Teacher Training department. The goal of this webinar series is to share knowledge that can help teachers around the world elevate their ELT (English Language Teaching) practice for more effective language education.

In this webinar "Do More with Less”, our speaker Burak Aydın discuss the rationale and strategies for giving the most active role in class to language learners (LLs). Given the fact that LLs can retain better with their hands and minds on their learning, this session focuses on decentering the teacher, thereby making lessons more learner-centered and learner-managed. This video is full of practical tools that will make you think, discuss and plan for your next lessons.
