Thanks

Before our next session, please note down examples of students ‘slipping back’ as they struggle with language they ‘should’ know; and ‘reaching forward’ as they try and use language or constructions they may not have been taught yet. What does this tell you about their needs?

Please share some examples on the workshop forum so we can discuss them in the next live session.
