Experts: Joseph Hopkins and Jackie Robbins, Spain
Local organiser: Oksana Kovalenko, Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine
Participants: 25 local language coordinators from different regions of Ukraine
As a result of the current situation in Ukraine, many teachers throughout the country have been forced to move their teaching online, in a similar way as occurred during the first months of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020. In this totally online workshop, experts from the ECML's ICT-REV Training and Consultancy initiative will share their experience, and work with language teaching coordinators representing the various regions of Ukraine. The principal goal is to address the immediate and urgent needs of Ukrainian language teachers by focusing on a pedagogically driven implementation of technology in language instruction, with a special emphasis on freely available ICT tools that can be utilized to enhance learning online. In a cascading approach, following the workshop, participants will be encouraged to organize similar professional development events for teachers in their respective regions.
Working language: This first workshop will be offered in English. Subsequent ICT-REV events for Ukrainian language teachers are envisaged in early 2023 in French and German.
