Language teaching in the new normal – Examples from institutions in the UK

Webinar cover image - language teaching in the new normal

Language educators worldwide have faced unprecedented change over the last couple of years as the Covid-19 health emergency has transformed previously trusted teaching approaches. In response, institutions are increasingly seeking to capitalize on the flexibility offered by blended teaching models.

Such approaches typically seek to deliver a high-quality teaching and learning experience by combining face-to-face teaching time with online learning components. But how can global language teaching institutions effectively reorient their content, curriculum, and staff to this new way of teaching? And what do they need to consider when buying the technology that makes it actually work?

This webinar aims to help you answer those questions! Specifically designed to support educators and institutions to respond to the challenges of delivering efficient and effective blended teaching and learning, this webinar is packed with best practices and expert insight.

Attendees will hear from two expert speakers. David Binns, Sanako’s UK Director, will share case studies from leading K12 and higher education institutions in the UK. Each one will demonstrate how they responded to the challenge of delivering blended language teaching. You will also hear from Aleksis Juhakoski, Sanako’s language teaching technology expert. He will give out updates about the recent and upcoming development of Sanako Connect – a blended teaching platform that combines the best parts of virtual classroom solutions and language labs.

This webinar session will help language teachers to:

  • Understand how leading language teaching departments in the UK successfully deliver blended teaching
  • Learn from classroom best-practice gathered from Sanako’s global customer base
  • Discover how Sanako technologies support teachers and how they can transform their lessons
  • Build confidence in using online tools more frequently in their lessons
