AE Live! Teacher Professional Development Events - AE Live 10.4 - Increasing Student Talk Time in the Online Classroom

Are you teaching English online and seeking ways to help students improve their speaking skills? Research shows that the key to an effective speaking lesson is to provide ample opportunities for students to actively participate, but many instructors are struggling to convert their favorite in-person speaking activities to the online format. In this webinar, we will examine the benefits of increasing student talk time (STT) in class, as well as explore various routines, activities, and tools that will give students a voice in their virtual classrooms.
