IATEFL Global Get-Together 2020
Abstract
The psychological atmosphere teachers create is as important as their method. We call this field of study “affect”. But is it something that has to get lost online? In this session we’ll consider the following:
1. What affect is, why it’s important, why it gets left out.
2. What we can learn from skillful facilitation, which at heart says, “Be yourself”.
3. A suggestion for online “Kitchen table teaching”. Could online teaching provide an affective game changer that unhooks us from our “noisy classroom omnipresence” ... to “talking across the kitchen table”?
