Designing the Blended Learning Activities for Young Learners

In a post-COVID environment, the split between physical and digital learning is largely irrelevant. Instead, ESL educators need to develop flexible courses that find the right balance between the immediacy of synchronous communication and the convenience of asynchronous training. Furthermore, the rise of middle-class parents who are living outside of tier-1 cities will lead to a greater demand for an online or hybrid learning solution. In this workshop, the participants will learn how to design an interactive lesson that can combine the best of both traditional and online instruction to offer engaging learning experiences for young learners. The workshop will consist of three parts: • The brief introduction to YLE programs and new blended learning model • Best practices for developing curriculum for YLE classes • Best practices for blended learning
