LanguageCert will be hosting an online event for teachers focusing on ‘Empowering teachers in the brave new digital world of English Language Teaching (ELT)’. This event is an excellent opportunity to gain insights from ELT experts into current issues concerning online teaching and learning, digital literacies and the ways online technologies can boost teaching.
