Fluency Doesn’t Just “Happen": How to Activate Free Expression​
Part 4 of the 5-part Be Yourself in English: Personalising Language Learning webinar series by Pearson.

Helping learners gain speaking confidence has always been challenging in the traditional EFL classroom. But now, virtual and hybrid learning has further reduced the opportunities for interpersonal communication practice, making the achievement of fluency even more difficult.

In this webinar, Joan Saslow and Allen Ascher, authors of Pearson’s adult and young adult ELT course, Connectivity, share an effective, structured pedagogy for personalised learning – whether in remote or face-to-face settings.

Join for a live demonstration of activities designed to help learners frame what they want to say, plan how they want to say it, and build their speaking confidence, so they can be themselves in English.

Register now for:
• Ways to help learners move smoothly from controlled practice to free expression
• Techniques learners can use to plan and develop their ideas and opinions in English
• Author-led training for teaching with Connectivity or any other communicative courseware
...and more!
