III Centre for Modern Languages Teachers Conference

The onslaught of Covid accelerated the use of digital resources for educational purposes and although most parts of the world are now moving from response to recovery, wellbeing-concerned language teachers will be keeping in mind not only measures to sustain their learners’ mental and emotional health but also actions they can take to secure learners’ digital wellbeing.

This webinar will begin by exploring ideas for linking language instruction to learners’ back-to-class mental and emotional welfare. However, because online learning is most likely here to stay, we will also delve into the notion of “digital wellbeing” and ways that language teachers can mitigate the negative impact of digitalization while intensifying the positive power of technology. Particular attention will be focused on finding balance through creating boundaries.
