Teaching strategies for the learning experiences and assessment opportunities
The teacher:
- explicitly teaches the language of position through modelling designed to address individual student needs. For example:
- the teacher demonstrates position in relation to himself/herself when verbalising target language
- the teacher demonstrates position in relation to the students when verbalising target language
- the teacher demonstrates position in relation to objects when verbalising target language
- provides opportunities for students to use and respond to target language through games and student modelling
- assists students’ conceptual understanding by providing examples and non-examples of target language
- records positional language on picture glossary cards to assist students during games and other learning experiences
- records the target language used by each student for assessment purposes.
