- Title: Successful teaching and learning of languages online Abstract: Learning and Teaching languages online has become more and more popular and easier to do these days, especially with the increase of capability and ease-of access of technology. In this webinar, I will reflect on my experience to suggest ways that languages can be taught and learned successfully online. I'll look at how teachers can prepare themselves and their students, reflect on their practice and develop their skills, what to do when things don't go as expected, and how you can motivate and engage learners online. We'll examine both synchronous (i.e. in real time, live online) and asynchronous teaching and learning and there'll be time at the end for you to discuss your own experience.
