- Hybrid Learning: The challenging task of teaching a class of students who are split into online and face-to-face groups, simultaneously. How can teachers rise up to the challenge of teaching hybrid classes effectively?
- Lost Learning: School closures around the world have resulted in significant learning gaps and differing levels. What can be done to address this?

Critical thinking
Build success beyond the classroom
Critical thinking is a complex process that involves reflection, analysis and evaluation. In the ELT classroom, it is about building academic literacy, not just linguistic proficiency. So, ELT coursework needs to build language skills alongside skills including evaluating, analyzing, and reasoning for academic success.
Building critical thinking skills aids in developing fluency and the production of authentic language while creating an opportunity for deeper learning and engagement. Exposing students to critical thinking tasks that are part of a contextualized language lesson, prepares them for what lies beyond their EAP coursework.
