Product description
The book is relevant for use with online, blended or face-to-face courses and appropriate for a wide range of teachers, learning situations and institutional settings. This handbook contains over 75 tried and tested activities, suitable for a range of levels, which provide opportunities for strong online interaction. The introduction outlines the rationale and principles of interaction, as well as discussing tools for online interaction and the implications for teaching and learning. There are guidelines for setting up and managing online interaction and on using the learner-produced texts for feedback, error correction and assessment.

- The majority of activities can be carried out either synchronously or asynchronously and contain additional suggestions for adaptation.
