Back to school during a pandemic: how can teachers be prepared?

0

 Hello fellow teachers. If coronavirus has taught us something is that teachers have a lot of flexibility to adjust to new paradigmatic trends in a short period of time. 

Many governments are considering reopening schools to catch up to in-situ learning. How can this be possible? Through the flipped classroom method. What is it exactly? We recommend three interesting academic articles about it. It could be wonderful to share these with our coordinators and school heads to analyze the real possibilities of incorporating this new educational trend in our daily lives.

It is well known that Science teachers are very keen on upgrading their teaching creativity to the next level. Phet simulations are the next best thing. 

From Biology to Chemistry, applying the scientific method has never been so easy. Your students do not need extra materials other than their computer, speakers on and their awe factor.

B1 Listening Activities

 According to the British Council, level B1 corresponds to independent users of the language, i.e. those who have the necessary fluency to communicate without effort with native speakers. It is important to bear in mind that the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) is the system that defines and explains the different levels of oral and written expression and comprehension for languages such as English.



One of the main challenges for B1 level teachers is to teach listening comprehension when not frequenting the same physical classroom every week. Here is a good bank of listening activities with audio files and worksheets to practice this skill with your young learners. Enjoy!
