Upcoming OUP webinar: Advanced Learners

  • Date: 18th November 2015
  • Times: 15:00 - 16:00 (GMT)
  • Speaker: Rachael Roberts
This webinar draws on content from the Navigate course.
Advanced learners often feel that they've 'been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.' The temptation is to keep trying to teach them something completely new, even if it isn't really very useful, when what they probably really need is to further develop and deepen what they already know, or to gain a fresh perspective. In this webinar Navigate author, Rachel Roberts, will look at ways we can support our Advanced learners using material from Navigate.
