Speaking & Listening Skills
Use a Critical Friends Peer Review to develop these skills?
Why are these skills important?
Research from the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge suggests that "children need guidance and structured practice in speaking and listening."
Listening is important because . . . .
- it's a large part of the time spent communicating
- it gives the learner input that is significant for language acquisition
- it promotes non-linear processing of language
How can you do this in the classroom?
Use a structured strategy such as Critical Friends (CF) Peer Review to model, facilitate, and assess the learning.
The strategy below has been adapted from Critical Friends Peer Review at New Tech Network, 2014.
Watch this being modeled on Teaching Channel.
