Classroom conversation is vital to learning across the curriculum. This webinar for international school staff will set out why enhancing classroom talk is an important skill for teachers working in multilingual contexts.

We will share practical activities and resources to help teaching staff develop the classroom talk of multilingual students and explore how staff can adapt their own classroom talk to support learning.

Participants will increase their awareness of the types of spoken language it is useful to support and develop for multilingual learners at different ages and proficiency levels across the curriculum.

Areas of focus will include:
• What does enhancing classroom talk involve and why is it necessary?
• The three features of enhanced conversation.
• Examples of activities and resources we can use to enhance conversations for both primary and secondary multilingual learners.
• Advice on teacher questioning strategies to enhance classroom conversations.
