1. I actively integrate digital tools into my English lessons to make learning more interactive and engaging. For example, I often use platforms like Socrative or Quizlet for quick assessments and vocabulary practice. I also incorporate short videos, online exercises, and collaborative tools such as Google Docs to help students work together and develop their communicative skills. Digital tools allow me to differentiate tasks more easily, provide instant feedback, and keep students motivated.
2. Several British Council resources have been especially helpful in my teaching. I frequently use TeachingEnglish for lesson plans, classroom activities, and professional development materials. The LearnEnglish Kids and LearnEnglish Teens websites are great for age-appropriate reading and listening tasks. I also like the British Council apps such as LearnEnglish Grammar, because they help students practise independently in a simple and enjoyable way.
3. Although digital learning offers many advantages, there are still some challenges. Sometimes students have unstable internet connections or limited access to devices, which makes online tasks difficult for them. Another problem is keeping students focused—digital tools can be distracting if they switch to games or social media. Finally, it can take extra time to prepare digital materials and ensure that everything works correctly, especially when technology fails during a lesson.
