Isabel covered three main instructional design elements: blended learning, development of reading and writing skills, and improved oral communication skills. BTI leverages technology-based language learning to complement classroom instruction for their ELF classes. Isabel shared: how the institute’s ELLs have benefitted from taking this ELF blended learning course; how to integrate technology into your curriculum to create a blended and interactive language-learning program that complements classroom instruction; how to leverage digital language learning to accelerate development of all language skills.
