About webinar
Short video clips have become a huge part of our day-to-day communication on social media, from Facebook to Whatsapp. Teens and pre-teens are leading the trend in using video as a medium to communicate and express themselves. In this webinar we’ll be exploring how we can take advantage of this trend to support and extend speaking and listening activities in our day-to-day teaching, as well as to increase motivation and investment in learning.
