ELTons award finalist: Innovation in Learner Resources

Pearson and BBC Live Classes has been announced a finalist of 2020 ELTons award in Innovation in Learner Resources category.

We are proud Pearson and BBC Live Classes has already recognised in this category - the winners will be announced in October 2020.

As part of our final submission we were asked to provide a teaching tip video. For that, we reached to our online community of teachers to ask about their recommendations for distance teaching and see how the experience of Live Classes helped them to move online.

Who is the project for?

Live Classes is a unique project available to all secondary teachers and students between 9 and 19 years old.

Teachers register their class and join a global classroom, meeting other groups from different parts of the world at the same live event.

Since Live Classes is an international project each lesson can only be joined by a maximum of 2 groups from the same country. This gives everyone an equal opportunity to enter the Pearson global classroom.
