The 'goodbye' step from Understanding Language: learning and teaching.
We hope that you have enjoyed your journey with us.
We really enjoyed meeting you and hearing your thoughts and experiences of language learning. We learned a lot, and we hope you did, too.
We would like to remind you, that whilst we will not be providing facilitation in the comments and discussions after Sunday 8th November 2020, you still have time, if you need it, to catch up with the course activities as they will remain online for a short time.
If you would like to continue your discussions about language teaching, then we invite you to join a closed Facebook group which is run by the British Council for MOOC participants on all their courses. It is a place where we can continue to share ideas and experiences amongst colleagues and friends.
Join the Facebook group here You will need to create your own Facebook account to participate.
