"In this programme we look at a reality many teachers face: very large classes – and using group work as a technique to get everyone working actively. We hear from teachers on how they use group work and look at techniques for managing large classes. How do you feel about teaching large classes?" Programme Summary: Large classes are a reality for many teachers around the world – especially in the state sector. If we want to develop our students’ fluency and ability to communicate in English then using group work will help. If set up carefully, it will give all the students a chance to participate and practise. The teacher’s role changes during group work. While the students work in groups the teacher moves away from the front of the class and quietly monitors. During this part of the lesson, you are giving more responsibility to your students and there are many rewards. Group work can be highly motivating for students. They participate and are active and we can
draw on our students’ own knowledge and experience. As Mirany says, ‘Dynamism springs from the group’

"Many teachers want to use up-to-date technology in their teaching but often do not have the time or resources for the necessary training. This training kit presents bite-size activities for ten popular tools that even the busiest language professional can fit into their schedule. Working through training units which can be completed in around 30 minutes, teachers will get to know the uses and pedagogic benefits of online tools and learn how to integrate them into their language classes."

A paper on Teacher Collaborative Inquiry: "TCI consists of a group of several teachers, who meet regularly to pursue a common professional learning goal, may or may not be involved in inter-class visitations, and within which multiple perspectives (more than in a dyadic rela- tionship) will be shared." The study used Video-Mediated Teacher Reflection, where "video analysis [of the teachers' classroom practice] usually takes place in small groups of peer teachers, at regular intervals and over an extended period of time, such as in video “clubs” (van Es & Sherin, 2010). In these peer groups, teachers are generally guided by a facilitator who focuses on a particular approach to teaching or to the subject matter, explores solutions to typical pro- blems, or reviews how members are implementing a professional development initiative. Video serves as a platform for mutual understanding." In the group of teachers of English Language Learners (ELL) in US high schools in focus, the authors, themselves participants in the study "found that the strongest theme was that of a renewed trust in the collaborative process, brought about both by the public sharing of what is normally private (one’s teaching) through the video viewing, as well as through using the protocols (e.g., Don’t interrupt, Avoid biographical responses, Frame questions positively and non-judgmentally) established in the coaching process. The fear of being judged–and coming up short–was overcome as teachers experienced the review of their video records to be a productive exercise for the entire group’s emerging understandings of differentiated instruction for ELLs."
