Improving Progress with Scaffolding and Stretch – Building on strengths and supporting students needs using granular insight into language learning
This on-demand webinar provides insights around how to develop lessons that can support learners who need help, while challenging learners who are ready to go further by using the Global Scale of English.
One significant challenge in language learning is finding the right balance between supporting students enough, and supporting students so much that progress cannot be achieved. The introduction of the Global Scale of English (GSE) allows for an improved understanding of how to develop lessons that can support learners who need help, while challenging learners who are ready to go further. In this on-demand webinar we will examine how to use the GSE to develop lessons that will engage and delight all learners while providing many opportunities for support and growth.
All attendees will receive access to GSE tools and resources as well as free lessons plans for direct classroom practice.
