Confidence
Confidence is a key skill developed in language learning.
Through facilitating kind classroom environments where students feel safe to have a go, to make mistakes, teachers support students to develop their confidence through:
- Phonics work and immediate teacher feedback on this in every lesson – builds confidence in speaking and listening
- Structured, step-by-step development of grammar learning– builds a strong grammar foundation and gives confidence in applying grammar rules in order to communicate clearly and be understood
- Pair or group work speaking activities in at least 50% of lessons with immediate peer feedback – builds confidence in communicating in the language
