Best Practices Guide for Synchronous/Blended Learning

In 2023-24 two NLS research consultants collaborated with ISANS on the SDI research project Best Practices in Synchronous Online Teaching. During this research project, a Best Practices Guide was developed to help EAL instructors enhance their instructional practices in synchronous and blended learning in the context of a LINC/ PBLA program. The Best Practice Guide is a practical tool, based on findings from the research, exploring existing technologies and other program adaptations to make synchronous and blended language training delivery more effective and consistent across the sector.
