Emergency remote teaching (ERT) of English oral presentation skills forces new perspectives on learning. A blended learning approach was developed over several years to complement classroom delivery with Moodle-based multimedia interactive activities. Leveraging that knowledge base, this workshop introduces techniques and tasks specifically addressing remote learning problems of how to develop presentation skills without a live interactive environment, and how to keep easily disenchanted students encouraged and engaged without constant real time support.
