Back to the ELT classroom: turning challenges into opportunities

In this session, Herbert Puchta will discuss the challenges teachers face on returning to the classroom after a long time of (mainly) teaching online. We will look at the need to make our ‘new’ young learners feel at home in the here-and-now of the classroom. Also, we will explore a range of practical ways to connect language learning with the social-emotional processes needed to create an atmosphere of learner and teacher well-being.
