How to use 4/3/2 strategy to develop oral language


4/3/2 is a useful technique for developing oral fluency. Learners give the same talk to three different learners with decreasing time to do it.
The learners work in pairs. Learner A talks to Learner B and has a time limit of four minutes to do this. B just listens and does not interrupt or question. When the four minutes are up, the teacher says, "Change partners". Learner A then moves to a new Learner B. The teacher says "Begin" and Learner A gives exactly the same talk to the new partner but this time has only three minutes. When the three minutes are up, the teacher says "Stop. Change partners." With a new partner, Learner A now has two minutes to talk. During the three deliveries of the same story, the B learners do not talk and each listens to three different people. When the A learners have given their talk three times, the B learners can now go through the same sequence, this time as speakers.

Welcome to 2017 ELL Programme

This year we have a specialist programme for our English Language Learners. In this programme, the children who need extra support in their reading and writing are modelled ways in which they can improve in these two areas. Children attend this programme two or three times a week for 45 minutes.

Have a look at our ELL room.
