Begin with learners.
Design learning around children’s needs, interests, and opportunities to take part. Use clear support so that more learners can join the activity.
Teaching & learning
Purposeful language.
Active young learners.
Bringing reading, projects, songs, and creative production into primary English learning.
My approach
Three ideas that guide the work.
Give language a purpose.
Connect reading and grammar with stories, projects, creative work, and communication. Help learners use English to express and share an idea.
Learn from the classroom.
Use assessment, observation, and reflection to understand the learning process and improve the next teaching decision.
Teaching in practice
Different routes
into meaningful learning.
Approaches used across my classroom projects and professional practice.
Reading & stories
Extensive reading
Connect age-appropriate reading materials with opportunities to understand, respond, and develop a reading habit. My current research focuses on Grade 4 reading comprehension.
Projects & communication
Learning through making
Use supported writing, creative products, and presentations to connect language practice with a shared classroom purpose.
Content & language
Integrated learning
Bring content learning and language practice together through CLIL and project-based activities, as explored in Ed-Venturers in Action.
Technology & engagement
Digital tools with a purpose
Use tools such as LyricsTraining, Canva, SUNO, and digital reading resources within a planned learning activity. Choose the tool around the learning task.
Assessment & reflection
Evidence informs the next step.
Assessment design is part of my teaching and research practice, alongside classroom observation and reflection.
01
Plan
Identify the learning question and choose suitable tasks and assessment tools.
02
Observe
Attend to participation, language use, and the classroom learning process.
03
Interpret
Consider test responses, learner feedback, logs, and other available evidence.
04
Refine
Use the evidence and reflection to develop the next lesson or project.
