An introduction to the team and to the course

This first activity explores the many dimensions of language.

In this step we look at how we learn language and the strategies we develop to do this.

Knowing about who our learners are and what kind of language learning experiences they have outside the classroom can help us, as teachers, know what language and cultural resources these learners bring to the classroom.

In these steps we will look further into what some of the language demands of school are.

In these steps, we will look at some specific approaches and strategies we can adopt in our classrooms.

Here we will look at different text types or genres that our learners will encounter in the classroom and consider the types of feedback we might give to our learners on their writing.

In these steps, we will look at how we can generate talk in the classroom and consider some of the ways we can provide feedback on talk to our learners.
