This episode is made in collaboration with NALDIC, UK’s National Association for Language Development in the Curriculum. In this episode I am joined once more by Leandro Paladino, deputy editor of the EAL Journal as we discuss classroom interaction and group work. A lot can be said about this topic! What exactly is comprehensible input? How can we set up successful group work and how can we support our EAL learners during cooperative activities? And how can we make sure the conversations our students are having are actually helping them learn? In this episode we explore some key theories and share our experiences as educators.
