Breaking Through the Screen: Practical tips for engaging learners in the online and blended classroom

In early 2020, after the first wave of Covid-19, Drs. Joan Kang Shin and Jered Borup from George Mason University joined us to share tips for both online and blended English language teaching in a three-part webinar series called Breaking Through the Screen. Their goal was to help English language teachers be “ready to pivot”—that is, be ready to provide effective English language instruction in any modality.

The conversation that began in those webinar sessions has continued on, as teachers and students have continued to demonstrate great resiliency in still uncertain times. Using examples from real teachers all around the world, Drs. Shin and Borup have compiled a new professional development title focused on online and blended classroom instruction.

Designed for teachers of students at all levels with a range of teaching experience and comfort levels with online instruction, Breaking Through the Screen offers practical tips for engaging learners in the online classroom through an exploration of real online teaching and learning moments from around the world.
