The webinars will last for one hour and are free of charge. Participants who attend the webinars will be receive professional development certificates to add to their portfolios. The TeachingEnglish team Using picturebook video read-alouds in primary ELT Join us on Monday 12 July for the first in our webinar series 'Using literature with young learners and teenagers', with Gail Ellis and Tatia Gruenbaum, co-founders of PEPELT. Online video read-alouds by picturebook creators are an underutilised resource in primary ELT.  This webinar presents a set of criteria for the selection of quality asynchronous picturebook video read-alouds which includes an analysis of the different video production approaches used and their affordances for PELT purposes. We also present a framework that can be used for designing materials around picturebooks for e-learning. Register for this free webinar Using children's literature as mirrors, windows and sliding doors in primary ELT This webinar will creatively explore ways teachers can incorporate authentic children's literature in primary ELT. Rudine Sims Bishop's 'mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors' metaphor will be explored to provide a framework for teachers to select and use children's literature such as picturebooks, chapter books and verse novels in the English language classroom. Register for this free webinar A window to the world: Graphic Novels in the Secondary English Language Classroom Join us on Friday 16 July for the third in our webinar series 'Using literature with young learners and teenagers', with Laura McWilliams. Graphic novels allow us to give our learners accessible, age-appropriate texts, providing visually-scaffolded language input. As authentic texts are inherently attractive in format, they are very motivating for learners, especially teens. Furthermore, they often offer diverse, contemporary stories that act as a window to the wider world, enriching interculturality and global knowledge, and providing an accessible route into topics such as racism, the role of women, LGBTQI+ identity, immigrant stories and more.
