Unlock deeper thinking by making the language of your subject explicit

As a school leader, you want students who understand content and can express their thinking clearly. Yet many struggle with the academic language needed to explain, analyse, or collaborate, especially multilingual learners. When language becomes a barrier, understanding remains invisible and achievement suffers. This course gives your teachers a clear, practical approach to integrating language and subject learning. Using the Language Triptych — Language OF, FOR, and THROUGH content — teachers learn how to make disciplinary language explicit, support reasoning and discussion, and design tasks that build language and content at the same time. FOR YOUR SCHOOL, THE BENEFITS ARE IMMEDIATE. • Stronger assessment results through clearer explanations and written work • More equitable access to learning for multilingual and diverse learners • More confident, engaged students who can speak, think, and problem solve with precision • Greater coherence across departments through a shared framework • Immediate impact with ready-to-use scaffolds and strategies WHAT TEACHERS LEARN • How language shapes understanding in every subject • How to teach key terminology and discourse • How to scaffold reading, writing, and speaking tasks • How to support academic reasoning and collaboration Modules: Language OF content, Language FOR thinking, Language THROUGH content Audience: Subject teachers Duration: 1 day in person or 3 hours online Dates: upon request Certificate: Certificate of Mastery
