24 staff assaulted *every day* in Glasgow schools. And this will continue until schools are allowed to use more than just restorative chats to manage behaviour. Genuinely appalled that this isnโ€™t priority #1 in Scottish education.

Oxford University Prof. Ernesto Macaro notes that explaining vocabulary in the target language is LESS EFFECTIVE than providing its first language meaning. He quotes a number of studies that found this to be true and concludes in his 2022 book with Robert Woore that it is a 'badโ€ฆ

Some research evidence that using the students' L1 to support L2 vocabulary acquisition is more advantageous than using the L2.

Discovery learning is the slowest, clumsiest, most error-prone way for novices to learn anything. It privileges children who have advantaged home circumstances, tutors, supportive homes, and discriminates against children for whom school is their main or possibly only chance toโ€ฆ

Discovery learning involves trying things out, experimenting and getting it wrong. This is how young children learn. Instruction is a far less efficient way to do this, as anyone who has spent any time with 3-7 year olds can tell you. You can tell children things as many timesโ€ฆ

Often we are asked, why can't everyone just speak English? Look at the difference in how Jhon Durรกn speaks to Thierry and Kate vs Carra and Richards. What an advert for speaking a language other than your own. ๐Ÿ‘

What a gem of a video for us Spanish teachers. An interview in Spanish, Kate sounding fluent and Henry with an excellent level while the other two are the naughty kids in class with Google Translate on their phone๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
