ELT365 · Day 223 — Transitions Between Stages

Idea

The moment between stages — ending pair work, moving to feedback — is where lessons lose momentum. Prepare signalling language in advance.

Example

‘Good. Let’s get some answers on the board.’ Pause. Wait for pens down. Then: ‘Who had something interesting?’ — not ‘Did anyone get it right?’

Try

Write the transition sentence you will use to move from your next task into whole-class feedback.
