Another great week in the Hub with lots of thought-provoking chat this week. In the Focused Forum on Tuesday we discussed translanguaging and the benefits of using it in the classroom – as well as how it could be ‘sold’ to students and parents as a useful tool to enhance their learning rather than just an excuse to use their L1 during lessons.
The Wednesday Question was also related to methodology and from the comments, it seems that principled eclecticism is the winning method for most Hub members.
On Thursday we had a really interesting webinar with Claire Thomson who was talking about how we can give our learners more choice in the classroom and the pedagogical benefits of allowing learners more autonomy in their learning.
Next week we have our Monthly Management Meet Up on Tuesday and then Coffee Breaks on Thursday – see you there!
