To conclude the course, this session offers time for reflection and discussion on how effective the strategies used were in the classroom and sharing of experience and best practice with colleagues.

Please note that the distance learning module of this course uses some of the materials which were presented in last autumn's webinar entitled Lesson planning for the English Language Classroom - Scuola Secondaria di Primo grado/- Scuola Secondaria di Secondo grado. However, the face to face sessions offered as part of this course give participants the opportunity to enrich their learning and put what they learn into practice with the (optional) mini project.
