Webinar for English Teachers: A Fresh Look at Teaching Grammar


We are pleased to invite you to participate in a Webinar on English teaching methodology, organized by the Regional English Language Office for the Andean Region. One of the things many teachers know well is grammar. But do we know how best to teach it to our students? This webinar will explore the new ways of approaching grammar by taking into consideration meaning and context. * If you want to submit your questions in advance, click on this link and enter or write to reloandes@state.gov.
