Hybrid Learning for Four Language skills Practice in Senior Secondary School

Our presenter Ms Crystal Ng has returned after a popular presentation at our 3rd Roundtable event last year. This year, Ms Ng extended her sharing on using e-resources to improve high school students’ writing skills to discuss teaching all four language skills. In addition to sharing her practical e-resources experience, she also shares with us some sustainable practices that teachers can establish after the transition from online lessons to face-to-face lessons. These practices are mostly school-wide practices that were adopted in her school’s ZOOM lessons, three electives and free lessons.

You can go view Ms Ng’s micro-introduction on the right or watch her full-length presentation below. You can also review Crystal’s earlier talk “How to Prepare High School Students to Write with the Help of eResources” from last year’s Roundtable event right here.
