    Episode 29: Remote Teaching and Learning in Japan

    In this season's finale, I talk to Jonathan (@jonathandehaan) and James (@cheapshot), who are professors in Japan teaching English language. Confronted with the challenge of remote teaching without a robust learning management system, each of them have found their own innovative pedagogical approach to teaching, using the pedagogy of Multiliteracies and Connected Learning. Jonathan and James are also co-editors of the Ludic Language Pedagogy, an open-sourced journal exploring games and play in language teaching.

    Episode 28: Remote/Online Learning for International Students

    Clara and Aaron talk to two international students, Grace and Yan, about their experiences with remote/online learning. Both of them are taking courses that have had to make a sudden pivot to remote learning. They are also enrolled in an online course designed to be delivered online. That course also happens to be about online learning, and for that class, they had to design an online mini-unit. ((insert Inception theme)). In our conversation, we ask them to compare their experiences and to share their perspectives about what worked and didn't work for them.
