Vision for me • A class full of Sts who speak with confidence, who initiate conversations and who enjoy speaking in English • Sts who speak English to their classmates of the same L1 • Less L1 speaking in the classroom
Vision for Sts • Sts should feel confident to conduct a conversation with classmates of same L1, classmates of different L1, their own teachers, other staff and people with whom they are unfamiliar
