Some weeks ago, in order to protect us, the mayor's edict of the town I live in turned what used to be part of my job into a full-time reality: I have become an online-only trainer/coach. In this webinar I would like to share my experiences with you: What technology is useful? Which platforms work well? What do you need to know about bandwidth? Do you need to invest? What English material is available to teach with and might your teaching style have to change? Let's put our heads together virtually and gather useful tips and tricks for successful teaching / coaching online.

In Adult Education, Online English lessons seem to have gone from being an exotic extra to being something which is increasingly norm and often a necessity. Online learning environments can provide interesting opportunities, but they also present challenges for teachers. 
In this webinar, we’ll focus on the challenge of getting adult learners to talk online. First we’ll look at effective ways of getting learners to prepare for online speaking activities. Then we’ll look at how to overcome inhibitions that learners might have about speaking online. Finally, we’ll look at how to transfer typical face-to-face speaking activities to an online context smoothly.

Can you spot the communication hiccup? 
 
Karl: This was a fantastic webinar, don‘t you think? 
Susan: I couldn‘t agree more! 
Rio: Why not? 
 
Got it? Great! Then you can help us learn more about one of today‘s major communication skills. English has become a communication tool in a plurilingual and pluricultural world. This means users and learners of English need to create bridges, convey messages and construct meaning; in other words, they need to learn the fine art of mediation. 
 
Let‘s use this webinar to find out how we can create mediation activities also from an A1/A2 level on to help our students communicate and develop their ideas. We‘re going to look at hands-on examples in Easy English Upgrade, that can easily be transferred into other settings.
