About

As you plan your teaching goals for 2026, it’s worth taking a closer look at the skills that support different English teaching contexts – and how to prepare for them intentionally.

In this BridgeVoices webinar, we’ll explore how established teaching environments such as online teaching, teaching young learners, exam preparation, and global English use shape the skills teachers rely on in practice. We’ll discuss how strong foundational TEFL training supports all teaching paths, when it makes sense to add specialization, and how teachers can plan professional development that aligns with their goals for the year ahead.

Whether you’re new to English teaching or looking to expand your qualifications, this session will provide practical guidance to help you make informed training decisions in 2026.
