Partner and Small Group Work - Vocabulary List
https://www.scoilnet.ieuploads/resources/23061/22784.pdf Added: 13 Jun 2017 Contributor: PDST Resource type: Guide/notesHere is a vocabulary list divided by class level for children to use when working in pairs or as part of a small group.
Partner and small group work provides an authentic learning context in which students can develop both speaking and listening skills. Pupils are allowed to become actively involved in the construction of their own knowledge. This can often lead to a greater understanding and internalisation of material. Pupils are allowed to use language to interact and plan, take on a particular role such as the manager, the recorder etc., develop a group activity and monitor and reflect on the task/learning. Small group learning allows the teacher to effectively scaffold students learning by providing guidance towards ensuring that the groups run smoothly, that allocated roles are working and that learning is being fostered.
