9. Engaging learners –
What do you need to do?
 Have learners draw on their previous learning;
 Use latest research findings, professional examples and interesting scenarios to take learners
beyond the textbook;
 Include periods of reflection for learners to work alone and solve problems;
 Give them a quick quiz and ask them to explain their answers a colleague before supplying them
with the correct responses;
 Ask them to brainstorm examples of real‐life situations;
 Ask them to role‐play a scenario in pairs;
 Ask them to define or explain a concept to their neighbour;
 Ask them to construct a mind‐map showing the links between ideas.
 Take one minute to summarise the main ideas in the lesson or unit;
 Write questions about concepts that are still unclear.
