OER 3 Language and gender: learning and equality in participation

4 Activities for teachers


How do you know that your students understand what you have taught them and how do you check? When students do not understand, what do you do?

In an inclusive learning environment, it is important to check regularly on student comprehension and allow students to let you know when they don’t understand.

You can create a more inclusive learning environment when you support and encourage students who may have less exposure to the language of instruction because they work, or because of norms about where they can go and when and to whom they can speak with.

These activities focus on student comprehension and ways of checking their learning. The activities encourage students to participate so you can assess what they know.

The activities are designed to be done within your normal routines and practices. The Activities for informal learning facilitators in Section 5 may also be appropriate to your classroom.
