ELIS Masterclass: When Teaching Strategies Talk with SCK – Stories of 96 Hour PLP Alumni

When Teaching Strategies Talk With Subject Content Knowledge – Stories of 96-hour PLP Alumni

What happens when teachers seek to strengthen their knowledge of the subject they teach instead of seeking out the latest teaching strategies? If English Language (EL) teachers focus on building their understanding of what EL teaching and learning is about, how would that understanding help them select and use a variety of teaching approaches and strategies more effectively? Alumni of the 96-hour Professional Learning Programme (PLP) will offer participants in this masterclass experiences for learning why and how their Subject Content Knowledge (SCK) has a decisive influence on the process, content and quality of their pedagogical and assessment practices, and ultimately the quality of classroom talk and student learning.
