What does the research say?
“target language promotes natural acquisition and that use of the mother
tongue (L1) undermines this process by diverting attention from the object of
pupils’ learning”- Peter Dickson

How do you establish a safe and inviting environment for students to take risks and
not fear failure?

2. Get in a small group of 3-4 people.3. Cluster all of the post-its in any way that makes
sense to your group.4. Walk around and pick the 5 most common
themes.
