Going hybrid during Covid-19
In this TiLT webinar, organised by the Association for Language Learning and supported by Linguascope, Sophia Mavridi describes how the lessons learnt during the first phases of Covid-19 have provided schools systems with the opportunity to proactively plan and design the next phases. One of the many re-entry scenarios is moving to a hybrid-learning model which, in general terms, aims to combine face-to-face and online/ remote tuition into a coherent whole. What will the implications be for the teacher and the student? How can we plan and prepare for it? Informed by digital learning pedagogies, this session will look at effective and practical ways of planning and integrating hybrid-learning models in language education.
