The workshop, Social Interaction and Context in Online Language Learning, will take place on Friday November 20th from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. The workshop will include a one-hour presentation followed by a one-hour panelists' discussion to answer any of your questions.

Workshop Abstract

For most of us, the recent months with COVID-19 have been a reminder that we as humans are social beings. But what does that mean in the online modality of teaching and learning? In our interaction with one another, what changes online and what does not? What are the context variables that impact teaching effectiveness and learning experiences and success? Let us use this Friday afternoon to take the necessary time-out and reflect on our teaching practices systematically.
