The group is in direct contact with the coordination through an exclusive WhatsApp channel and has all the course materials uploaded in a private Google Class.
They will also use different technological apps, Kahoot, Slack, or Miró, to facilitate work and communication in the group work.
Classes are recorded and uploaded in the Google class to facilitate the student's participation.
Academic Program
The program includes one 45-hour class and a 10-hour workshop in which students will work on an international collaborative project creating an adapted virtual portfolio on a topic of their choice.
NEW CHALLENGES OT TEACHING ENGLISH ON A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
Teaching in a virtual classroom requires specific techniques, tools, and skills; it allows us to extend our class to the outside work if we learn how to use all the resources available to us. But to teach in a digital environment, we have to learn about the technology available to us, the teaching methodologies of each of the disciplines that we teach, and how to integrate them effectively.
We will divide the course into five modules that will explore each of these fields. First, students will learn about the different tools and technological platforms that we have at our disposal; we will continue to delve into the CEFR and how to apply it in the classes and in the CLIC principles to see how to integrate them into the classroom.
