Suzanne will share some of the projects and survival techniques designed to keep teachers and students connected and engaged despite Covid limitations in the classroom. Firstly, she will explain how literature projects (based on the Cambridge Set Texts) can help students develop both Cambridge Exam and worldly skills. Then, she will share some experiences of adapting under covid restrictions and some approaches taken to optimise learning in sub-optimal conditions. These ideas could be of interest to language teachers of both Upper Primary and Secondary students.
