OVERVIEW
For decades, teachers have debated about the role of homework in ELT. Most of us do not seem to identify how to assign homework that will result in learning and motivation. Distance gives us the change to provide learners with “authentic” homework tasks that can be complied with far away.
The aim of this session is to share practical homework activities to foster communication using a variety of technological tools.
