Tutor Workshop: Free Materials for Teaching English (Via Zoom)

This workshop is for anyone interested in tutoring or already tutoring ESL learners. Selecting teaching materials is always a challenge. Open Educational Resources (OERs), free materials that meet our students’ needs, are widely used by community college instructors and volunteers. They are high-quality online textbooks and other media that you can use as-is or adapt as you see fit. Our colleagues in Oregon lead in this area, and this workshop explores homegrown examples you can start using today for both in-person and online tutoring.
