No Travel No Problem-Bringing Languages Alive during a Pandemic
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,154 views
This document provides suggestions for teaching foreign languages during a pandemic when travel is difficult. It proposes using online tools to virtually explore target language countries, cultures, and people. This includes using webcams, videos, and maps to learn about places and what is happening now. It also suggests challenging perceptions by comparing expectations to realities. Live exchanges and asynchronous audio/video can facilitate interaction with native speakers. The goal is to bring target language studies alive through digital means since physical travel is not possible.
