Our #UoEPGDEp students are working with Dr Kathleen Forbes in a group #Place2Think session and focusing on anxiety in the classroom.

Yesterday, I taught a BSL lesson entirely in BSL without any voiceover from me or the interpreter. My mentor teacher said that she’s never seen the class stay so silent for 30 minutes! They were so focused and engrossed with #BSL #uoepgdep #languages

In technologies today, we were given the language Arabic and as a group we decided to explore how spring is celebrated differently. In Dubai, there is a spring festival which correlates with Chinese new year and celebrates rebirth and regrowth. #uoePGDEp
