teaching one to-one
DESCRIPTION
Most of us have had one-to-one classes and know how challenging they can be to plan, because most coursebooks are designed for groups. This session will be about adapting book activities to suit a one-to-one context, sustaining motivation of our individual learners and making 1-2-1 classes communicative and effective.TRANSCRIPT
