A Zoom with a View #2
Description
In this episode, I’m talking to Eoin MacCarthaigh. This is the second in what we hope will be a long line of episodes focused on issues in and around English teaching. For anyone who hasn’t listened before, we bring forth 3 unknown issues to be discussed each, relating to things that we’ve thought, learnt or considered lately.
We discuss:
- Uncertainty around the purpose of grammar and language teaching
- Giving students ‘choice’ x Organising English concepts
- The role of modelling in English
- The stratification of English skills x research and reflection
- SEND students’ or routines in class
- Authenticity and oracy in English
