Webinar details

Are your students exposed to English outside of class time?
For children to truly acquire a language they need constant exposure to the language. Find out what we can do as teachers and help parents increase exposure to English.

How varied is your input?
Children need to hear, see, and experience new language in various formats repetitively. Find out how we can help combat the forgetting curve by offering varied and challenging input of target language.

Do your students have enough feedback?
Continuous and meaningful feedback is the key to our students’ understanding of their own learning. Children need relevant and timely feedback on all aspects of their language learning experiences, but how can you help this happen?

In this webinar, we will discuss the impact of online learning on language learning.
