About this event
Presented by: Margaret Turnbull and Dr Gillian Pennington
This workshop explores ways of using the cultural and linguistic skills which students bring to the classroom to enhance and extend their understanding of English and subject knowledge, while enlivening learning for the whole class. The session will involve participants in a range of activities designed to encourage expression and creativity in their students’ writing, drawing on EAL/D pedagogy to focus on oral language and the explicit and systematic teaching of language.
