‘Online context-related and critical thinking materials for the ESOL classroom’
by The British Council ESOL Nexus Team

‘Evaluating classroom materials is something we do everyday as ESOL tutors. However, with a shift from paper-based to internet resources there are new questions to ask of what we use and what will work with our learners. Presented by ESOL resource specialists from the British Council’s ESOL Nexus team, this workshop will take a critical look at the issues raised by the use of the internet in the ESOL classroom. In the workshop you will have the opportunity to apply what you learn to evaluating some selected web materials and relate this to the contexts within which you teach.  An online CPD Module will soon be available, which will allow you to explore some of the issues covered in the workshop in greater depth.’
