Dear Student,

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we temporarily transition your learning to an online  platform.

Greenwich English College has chosen Zoom for online delivery. It’s easy and can be done on a computer, tablet or even a phone!

What will happen next:

1. All students will receive an email from their teacher with a link to the class.
2. Download the app shared by your teacher. 
3. Click on the link and you are ready to go!

• Video chat
• Share their screens (presentations, video clips, etc.)
• Share files
• Participate in group chats
• “Raise their hand” → it’s easy to ask questions!
• Participate in polls
• Move into smaller groups and pairs to practice language/share ideas → these are called breakout rooms and the teacher can monitor each group individually
• Write on a “whiteboard” 
  
  

Google Drive:

Additional materials will be supplied via Google Drive, so students will be able to access extra handouts, homework, worksheets and so on. 

Students joining a class for the first time will have access to it online until their book reaches them by post.

Timetables:

Your timetable will be the same as it was prior to the switch to online delivery. 
- Day timetables will begin at 09:00am until 3:00pm.
- Evening timetables will begin at 4:30pm and finish at 9:00pm.

See the below example for how the classes will be structured:

As we know, the best way to learn English is to practice, practice practice - so our online delivery is engaging and interactive. Our teaching methodology has not changed - only our platform, so be prepared to learn, communicate and be challenged to reach your English language goals.

Kind regards,
Greenwich College
