About course

At a time when apps, AI and platforms are all the rage, maybe it’s time to do a retrospective and relearn a few lessons from the past.
Mario Rinvolucri was a key member of the humanistic teaching movement which changed the way we look at teaching, especially second language teaching and this approach remains valid in our increasingly technical world. This webinar will look at where humanistic approaches to teaching came from, what it might mean, and provide an opportunity to discuss its relevance (or not) for teachers today. It will also give you an opportunity to try out some of Mario’s activities for yourselves to see whether they could work in your classroom with your students.

We look forward to seeing you at the webinar!
