Challenge and support for
different learners are built in though teacher monitoring, the
interaction patterns and task format of the
lesson.
Teacher
monitoring: teacher can help learners with
content and language if need be, and challenge learners on
language, and use of learning skills throughout the lesson as
necessary.
Task
format: Learners can contribute at
their own language level for this activity, as it is relatively
open-ended. This gives each learner a chance to be
successful.
Reflection at the end of the
lesson and teacher summary provides support for progress and
achievement, and challenge to thinking and setting future
objectives.

Opportunities for formative
assessment are embedded in this lesson. Learners and teacher gain
feedback on learners’ abilities to plan, organise, cooperate,
respect different opinions and solve problems as they work in
groups. The designing and solving of definitions provides evidence
of learners’ understanding of content and their ability to use
language to explain it.
|
Learners work in groups, apply
skills and knowledge to a practical and cooperative task, and
produce their own materials. All of these lesson features reflect
NIS values as suggested in the NIS Trilingual Implementation
Strategy, and correlate with the aims of critical and creative
thinking, and effective communicationset out in the Subject
Programme for G7 English.
