Over most of the last year, global language educators have been wrestling with the challenges of teaching online. And with no end to the pandemic in sight, online delivery will continue to underpin language teaching for some time.
To help language educators flourish in this ‘new normal’, Sanako’s webinar aims to tackle some of the most common challenges associated with online teaching. Judging by the feedback we’ve received, teachers want to know how best to engage students, what resources to use and how best to adapt their offline teaching for online delivery. Sanako is here to help.
In this webinar, we’ll hear from global pedagogical expert, Professor Satoru Shinagawa of the University of Hawaii. He’ll share best practice insights from his 20+ years experience of teaching online and will outline five key techniques to transform your online language teaching.
