This interactive session is based on lessons learned while teaching English language and literacy learners about COVID-19 on a virtual platform during the pandemic. The cafe will be appropriate for anyone who is teaching health (not just to language and literacy learners). It will be an opportunity for the audience to discuss areas of concern in both teaching online and teaching the most relevant COVID-19 information.
Objectives:
-Discuss challenges of misinformation and solutions to steer learners to reliable sources.
-Explore ways scientific and civic literacy can be incorporated into public educational programs (such as pandemics).
-Discuss virtual learning environments and gather tips to best engage learners.
