ELT materials and practice are increasingly digitally-based. What opportunities and challenges do ebooks present for schools, teachers and learners? And how can publishers, teacher trainers and institutional managers offer an implementation framework with appropriate support? This webinar will share insights and practical recommendations from a three-month practical classroom research study focusing on the adoption of face2face (Cambridge University Press) ebooks at the Embassy English school in Cambridge.

Formerly an English teacher and teacher trainer, Laura Patsko now works as Senior ELT Research Manager for Cambridge University Press. Her main interests lie in teacher education, pronunciation and sociolinguistics, especially the use of English as a Lingua Franca. She edits the IATEFL PronSIG journal, blogs at laurapatsko.wordpress.com and elfpron.wordpress.com, and tweets as @lauraahaha. Rolf Tynan is the Global Learning Technologies Specialist for Embassy English involved in designing and implementing projects.
