Some scaffolding…Classroom Language
To encourage students to speak only in English in the classroom, make sure they know simple transactional phrases that they can use to manage their interaction. Often these phrases come so naturally in the native language that it’s difficult to break the habit. To help everyone learn and remember this, make a list of these phrases on the board (or put them on a poster for the classroom) and add additional similar phrases as the need arises.

International CLIL research Journal
Using digital technologies to promote inclusive practices in education
Dr Leila Walker, Futurelab, with Ann Logan, education consultant
Introduction to inclusive education
In Section 1, we are reminded of the historical events that have led to the movement for inclusive education and practices in today’s education system. We explain what is meant by the term ‘inclusive education’, how it relates to special educational needs, and the significance of the Department for Children Schools and Families (DCSF)/Department for Innovation Universities and Skills (DIUS) personalisation agenda. We further discuss what the perceived benefits of inclusive education are, and how these benefits have changed the learner demographic of mainstream schools.
