In the session "Engaging Activities Using CPTS online" held on July 1, Rudi Cohen from National Geographic Learning Vietnam looked at using the classroom presentation tool and its functions to create truly engaging activities that get students involved and contribute to the lesson experience. Teachers left with several practical ideas for how to use CPTs and Zoom together for immediate use in class.
EFL teachers face various challenges in their classrooms. One of which is knowing what to do with a class of students with varying English levels and acknowledging that not all students learn the same way. The session "Differentiated Instruction in the English Classroom: How can you do it?" was held on July 6, offering an approach to both the book and activities based on a satisfactory learning experience.
Other topics will introduce a variety of practical and flexible teaching skills for EFL teachers, including visible thinking routines, creating 'minds on' learning, understanding automatic assessment of speaking, and assessing online learning.
