Love it or hate it, hybrid is definitely one of the defining teaching and learning modes in the business English classroom. With the help of some demo scenarios, I’m going to show you that this monster, terrifying as it may seem, is easy to tame if we look at it as an online lesson with some offline participants rather than the other way around. We will also go through the technical setup of each scenario so that you can implement them in your lessons right away.
