My wonderings by Lilian Wong https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb Made with curiosity en-us 2022-05-24 08:25:49 UTC 2025-11-15 09:42:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Recently I read an article about " learning mandarin through play" . In my view the activities (bowling, role play, and building 3-D shapes) are station work. Are these activities considered as inquiry learning? As in the article, it did not state how they make connection with the key concepts. xin_zhao5_3 https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2205351878 2022-05-31 02:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2205351878 Esther: There are different types of inquiry.

I also wonder about how to balance language teaching (such vocabulary and grammar) with inquiry style teaching.]]> 2022-05-31 23:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2206749810 As PYP consists of 8 concepts, how many concepts should we choose for each unit? For example when I teach radicals to students, I would focus on the form. But in a unit, when you focus on different areas of learning, you will touch on different key concepts. xin_zhao5_3 https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2206845808 2022-06-01 01:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2206845808 Transdiscplinary learning christinaluo1_3 https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2208850051 How to connect the language learning (especially 2nd language learning) with other core subjects? ]]> 2022-06-02 11:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2208850051 https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2209887945 Do you indicate or explicitly tell the concept to the students? For example, through teaching grammar, and sentence patterns we convey the concept of form. But do you summarize the word 'form' to the student verbally or do you have students summarize the concept themselves? ]]> 2022-06-03 06:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lilian_wong/y4fxl65uzlosu3wb/wish/2209887945
