Reading is more than just decoding words; it’s an active, purposeful engagement with text. This comprehensive webinar delves into the profound impact of establishing a clear reading purpose that fosters deeper comprehension and promotes meaningful interaction between the reader and the material. We’ll explore how connecting discrete reading assignments to overarching personal and academic goals significantly enhances learner motivation, persistence, and overall achievement.
Antiquated language, unfamiliar word usage, and multiple meanings can make HSE reading passages—especially fiction—feel like a puzzle for many students. In this webinar, we’ll focus on strategies to help learners confidently navigate challenging vocabulary using context clues. You’ll learn how to help students break down complex passages, recognize multiple meanings of words, and build their confidence in interpreting passages that may feel distant or confusing. This session will equip adult educators with tools to make tough HSE texts more accessible, and, dare we say, even more enjoyable.
Help learners build the essential research and evaluation skills needed for today’s information-rich workplaces. In this webinar, participants will explore how to teach digital research strategies and information evaluation. Learn how to help students navigate online resources, use fact-checking tools, and interpret the credibility of digital content. Explore how AI tools can assist students in conducting research, from generating search questions to organizing and interpreting the information they find. You will leave with practical strategies and classroom-ready ideas to integrate research skills into HSE, ESL, and other adult education settings.
