What Teachers are Saying

"What are interactive tasks for meaningful communication? How to use effective supplementary materials? Should we give feedback on communication and expression of meaning, or merely on the targeted language? The answers are all here. Anything related to psychology attracts me and Bloom’s Taxonomy (about scaffolding questions to support critical thinking) really got me excited. Besides that, Flipped Learning, a pedagogy that utilizes students' prior knowledge in activities, is also fascinating." (Jack Zhang, Teacher, Shenzhen)

"From FLP course, I learned how to ask questions with Bloom's Taxonomy, how to get students interested in the tasks and how to take on the role of facilitator and sometimes assessor. It helps a lot in improving our teaching." (Vira Yu, T4, Shanghai)
