About Bridge 
Session 1: Understanding your learners: A practical introduction
In this webinar our two current TeachingEnglish training courses tutors will give an interactive and practical introduction to our theme for April, May and June: Understanding your learners. With them you will learn how to develop your awareness of the diversity of your learners, how the learning environment and group dynamics can affect individuals, and more. Join the session to reflect on your own teaching practices and find out what professional development opportunities can help you grow in this area.
Session 2: Evidence-informed techniques for better learning
Let’s look into the how and why of learning so that we can help our learners do their best. This session attempts to bridge the gap between the classroom and what psychologists and cognitive linguists now know about the science of learning. What does their research say about what happens in the brain when we learn effectively? How can these insights impact the English classroom? This talk will show you four evidence-informed strategies you can incorporate into your English language lessons for better learning.
Session 3: Emotional safety and learning
We often hear our learners ask us difficult questions like ‘What if I fail?’ or ‘Are you proud of me?’ These questions often mask deeper emotions of self-doubt, anxiety or a need for validation. Understanding that students of all ages learn best when they feel safe, supported and valued is the starting point for answering these complex questions. In this session, we will look at the impact and importance of emotional safety in learning. We will also see practical strategies that help learners feel supported and teachers be ready to answer those questions.
