People are now used to receiving a continuous stream of digital information at a fast pace and incorporating it into their daily working and social lives – so why should the language classroom be any different?
Our language teaching expertise accumulated through years has now been put into something which absolutely responds the concepts of blended learning, online learning and interactive classroom as well – Macmillan English Campus. 10 years of successful practice in worldwide renowned learning institutions is now available for sharing by our colleagues. After the workshop teachers will receive demo access details to be able to reside within Macmillan English Campus in full.
