Lesson tasks that provide relevance and connections to real-life are highly engaging to our Generation Z learners. During this virtual workshop, participants will practice designing learning experiences that provide context for students based on real-world scenarios and authentic resources for comprehensible input, grammar in context, and performance tasks.
