Ever feel like your training programs could use a little more structure? Tired of asking yourself “what are we going to do?” the night before a lesson? Looking for a way to build solid yet flexible courses? If so, then you will definitely get something out of this session.
In this webinar, you’ll discover seven tools to help better organize your business English courses. I’ll show you ways to keep track of material covered (even if it just “emerges”), make sure you and your trainees know what you’re working towards, and ensure that your clients stay happy. These tools and techniques have all proven effective in my own business courses. They help save time and energy all the while contributing to coherent and effective courses. At the end of the webinar, you’ll get ready-to-use documents that can help you manage your business English courses more effectively.
May’s Sunday With BELTA webinar, All About Feedback from Students, was presented by Michael Griffin, who spoke about ways of collecting feedback from your learners. Most English language teachers would likely agree it is important to collect feedback from students. Of course, there are many reasons for collecting student feedback, many ways of collecting it, and many options for using the feedback once it is collected. In this interactive webinar we will explore student feedback and some of the related hows and whys. Through exploring the experiences and beliefs of the audience as well as his own experiences, thoughts and beliefs the presenter will help the audience think about their own styles and reasons for collecting feedback. Participants can expect to hear different techniques for collecting feedback as well as strategies for using the feedback collected. Participants will hopefully walk away with both ideas for collecting feedback and a new perspective on this important area.
