Tips for teaching Teens Online and motivating them to become independent learners.

Over the past few months we have moved rapidly from face-to-face to online learning. One of the consequences is that our learners are expected to be more independent and take more responsibility for their own learning. We will look at ways that we can support our teens to be successful independent learners and how we can encourage them to become more involved in their own learning.

Engaging activities for online lessons with teens

As students and teachers have become more accustomed to the nuts and bolts of learning online, it’s a good time to start increasing the repertoire of activities we can use in the virtual classroom, especially ones that allow students to work together more collaboratively. This session will take participants through several activities that are both easy to prepare and easy to do but which generate a lot of language while at the same time giving the teacher a bit of a breather during class. The session is primarily aimed at teachers of teenagers but includes activities that can be adapted for other levels as well.

Food for Thought

As part of the Cambridge Day events, we request the participants and our partners to donate food to local institutions. As a way of continuing to support social actions that reflect the Cambridge University Press Brasil - Food for Thought project, in this edition, we will support Ação da Cidadania, an institution that has been working since 2003 to combat hunger and poverty in Brazil.

Together we can rise to future challenges and build a brighter future.
