Often teachers are expected to (or want to) use the Internet, but aren’t sure of how to do it effectively. Learn practical ways to use the Internet online (in the classroom and computer labs) and off-line (to prepare classroom materials) in a variety of ways, including contextual presentation, practice and use of language, and use of authentic texts and tasks. This webinar is a sample from a session in Rennert new York’s Refresher Course for ESL/ EFL Teachers.
