Module teaching and integrating language skills lesson 1

Example 4: Descriptive feedback, help from a pupil.

First, the teacher tries to ask more detailed questions to get a more precise answer, but as the first pupil does not seem to know, he expresses that it is okay by saying no worries. Then he moves on to aim the question for the whole class and directly asking does anybody know?. This leads to another pupil giving the answer that he was looking for. As one can see, the teacher quite easily moves from one pupil to asking the whole class for help, and the class reacts to this by offering their help.
Example 5 below also shows the structure of helping out, but in this case it is the teacher who then stands out and helps the one pupil he was asking the question from. The class is going through an assignment, and they are talking about Newcastle and what would happen if coal was brought there.
It is important to notice that the teacher does not actually give the right answer straight away, but instead tries to lead the pupil to change his original answer with a question.
