Join IATEFL Business English SIG and Pete Sharma for this Webinar
Many business English teachers create their own language teaching content. Such material may be designed for different contexts, including: in-company, pre-experience, one-to-one and online. Which skills and what kind of knowledge base do content creators need in this post-pandemic era? This webinar aims to answer these questions. In it, Pete traces his own development as a content creator.
The webinar starts with a series of reflections on the nature of business English materials.
Part one mentions the inspirations and experiences which moulded his core beliefs.
Part two takes a chronological approach, starting with the presenter’s first ‘accidental’ move into writing, and describing various key projects. These include: an apprenticeship writing a weekly e-lesson; co-authoring a resource book for socializing; writing for digital media and creating innovative ‘Learning journeys’ for a post-pandemic world.
Part three distils this experience into a number of tips and advice on creating business English teaching content, with a particular focus on digital content. The webinar will be of interest to language teachers wishing to move into content creation as well as practising ELT authors.
