Personalise to maximise engagement
In a week or so I will be delivering a session to teachers across Asia on the topic of personalisation. For me this is a key area in any form of learning and provides learners with a chance to use language or skills in a meaningful way that is memorable and therefore will help to aid retention of not only the skills and language but the task as well. If a personalised task has a positive effect on the learner it should stay with them for a long time.
Engaging students online
Last week I delivered a session to help Cambodian teachers engage students who are studying online. This challenge of engagement is a common theme among teachers that I have received feedback from. I tried to break the session up into a listicle and deliver the session as engagingly as I could using some of the engagement techniques I have researched along the way. This blog is a way for me to reflect on the session and provide you with some useful ideas for engagement with learners.
