Abstract

The return to in-person teaching has triggered this reflective account based on lessons learned during the Covid-19 Pandemic. In this practitioner’s article, we reflect on our own approach to incorporating an online platform to present learners’ materials. We move away from the typical PowerPoint and Handout combination and explore a different way to engage our learners. We start by introducing our content followed by the pedagogical underpinnings informing our materials design. We then move on to analyse how this pedagogical innovation transformed our classroom space. This reflective piece concludes with recommendations for practice to rethink our learning and teaching spaces in the English for Academic Purposes Classroom.
