To foster a successful learning environment, teacher planning should take into account how students’ brains work and how they learn. This resource provides a range of teaching practices to engage and motivate students and prevent sources of demotivating frustration.
The book supports FSL teachers in planning a balanced program of student-centred learning that interconnects metacognitive thinking, listening, speaking, writing and reading skills, as well communication strategies and cultural competencies.
