Talking and thinking together at key stage 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe an innovative approach to promoting effective classroom-based groupwork and the development of children’s speaking and listening at key stage 1. This approach, known as Thinking Together, was initially developed for use with key stage 2 children. The work reported here explains how this approach has now been applied to the teaching of speaking and listening at key stage 1. The approach is founded on contemporary sociocultural theory and research. At the heart of the Thinking Together approach is a concern to help children build and develop their knowledge and understanding together, through enabling them to practise and develop ways of reasoning with language.
