Master of Art in English Language Teaching

Dear colleagues all over the world,

These are unprecedented times where we have been tested in our capacity to
respond to the challenges posed by the covid-19 in many ways. One of those
challenges means moving our teaching to online platforms and in the process, we
need to collect resources to respond to the challenges of online teaching more
effectively. The lectures and teachers of the Master in English Language Teaching
and the Teacher Education Programmes at the University of East London collated a
series of resources to support you when planning your lessons. The resources come
from different sources and it is expected that you will “curate” them as some may not
be necessary or suitable for you and your learners. As this is a free resource, there
is no copyright, but it does come with a right to copy and pass around. We believe
that sharing is caring and if you receive a copy of this document, PLEASE be kind to
other colleagues and share it with them. In this way, it is our desire to contribute
to and support our international professional community.

Stay safe wherever you are!

Dr Mario Moya, SFHEA

Programme Leader
Master in English Language Teaching
University of East London
Stratford Campus
London, E15 4LZ
