Episode 126 is all about Turn and Talk: A classic activity we all do in our classrooms to encourage student discussion, participation and idea generation… but, it can sometimes fall flat, or kids end up speaking about something else entirely or we don't get that engagement we are looking for.
In this episode I take youe through a few tiny tweaks and ideas for this strategy to make it more motivating, engaging and impactful for everyone. Even in a language acquisition class where the focus has to be on compelling, comprehensible inputs, Turn and Talk can play a vital role in language development, confidence and fluency as it provides time for rehearsal… but only if we set it up right! As always, this is just my take on it and you need to adapt it to your context of course.
PS Stay tuned right to the end of the episode for a major announcement about my new children's book project: Captain Super Sleep!
