What makes a good remote teacher?

Watch a recording of our webinar 'What makes a good remote teacher?'.

About the webinar

Remote language teaching is the practice of teaching a language live online through videoconferencing. In Uruguay, the British Council has been working in partnership with Plan Ceibal to cater for the lack of trained and qualified English language teachers in the country, project managing the remote teaching of 80,000 primary schoolchildren aged 8- 11. During the last 5 years, we have learned a lot about what makes a good remote teacher, and in this presentation, we share some findings that are also supported by the publication Remote Teaching (British Council, 2019), a book of research and case studies.

Thank you very much for sharing this video.
I was able to learn the positive impact of remote teaching, the importance of the preparation of the lessons, working with the in-class teacher and the support from the British Council in reference to the research done on this teaching project as well as the lesson preparations and organisation.
It was great to see how creative the Drama and play writing lesson was. Shakespeare would certainly be extremely happy with the end result!
Bravo! Thank you!🤩
