31. “
Forum is a fun way of
communicating…
I always take pictures of what
we’ve been up to in class and
then students comment on them
and communicate with each
other in writing.
It’s very visual and immediate
for them and it’s good for their
language skills.”
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor
32. “ Recently we were organising
a trip, so I uploaded various
tourist attractions, and the
students went and read about
them.
Then we made a Choice activity
where students vote on the
attraction they’d like to visit.”
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor

It’s ideal for remote teaching,

students.”
