The hybrid classroom. Dilemmas, choices and solutions

Watch a recording of Sophia Mavridi's opening plenary talk at the IATEFL British Council World Teachers' Day web conference 2020.

About the session

The lessons learnt during the first phases of Covid-19 have provided school systems with the opportunity to proactively plan and design the next phases. One of the most promising scenarios is moving to a hybrid-learning model which, in general terms, aims to combine face-to-face and remote tuition into a coherent whole. What will the implications be for the teacher and the student? How can we plan and prepare for the hybrid classroom? Informed by digital learning pedagogies, this session looks at effective and practical ways of planning and integrating hybrid-learning models in language education.
