Teaching a Language in a Hybrid Format

https://youtu.be/fM0ivN_WUew In this workshop, participants will explore how to effectively teach a language in a hybrid or fully remote format using technology tools that facilitate communication and promote cultural competence. Proficiency-based, culturally-focused instruction can still be achieved in a hybrid or fully remote setting, in which students develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in the target language by participating in authentic learning tasks that mimic real-world situations. Furthermore, participants will be given specific steps and examples on how to implement synchronous and asynchronous presentational (one-way speaking or writing), interpersonal (two-way speaking or writing), and interpretive (reading or listening comprehension) tasks that are sure to engage the students.   Presentation Powerpoint: Hybrid Teaching_ presentation.pptx [caption id="attachment_2214" align="alignleft" width="375"]Qatar Foundation International Logo This event is made possible by support from Qatar Foundation International[/caption]
