We know the research. It says that traditional methods don't really help, that we should teach in context. But what does that mean, especially with so many challenges to teaching in general-and attitudes toward language learning specifically? In this webinar, we will look at some quick ways to start putting language learning into our classrooms in ways that will help students read and write better-and, just maybe, bring an interest in language into the classroom.
