Languages - from theory to practise

We were excited to start the year with a good spirit of growth. Some of our members joined the other language group while others moved from that group to ours. The group is ready to roll and its exciting that each phase is represented. We will all bring our timetable to check our availability during the lesson presentation... We began with a review of last year’s cell process and discussed what we enjoyed and what we didn’t, also what we found to be most beneficial. Amanda will present the first lesson for observation. She will decide which class to teach and bring the beginnings of a lesson plan for next Monday. After that, we will observe a collaborative student-group lesson, planned and facilitated by Ronelle. We all agree that we want to develop theory into practical solutions and strategies which we can apply in the class room. We discussed the extent to which the Shayer theory we learnt last year will be applied in our lesson plans. How much are we doing already? Where can we improve? What are we not doing yet, but would like to explore?
