It was such a delight to meet and work with these passionate teachers at the Sinhalese Language School in Berwick today. Thanks to Amy Collins for running the morning session on Functional Language and gesture. We followed up with a range of practical differentiation strategies including choice boards, tiered tasks and dice games. A joy to work with such enthusiastic people - thanks for the invite!

Collaborating with Linton significantly enhanced our students' language acquisition skills across all proficiency levels. Our teaching methods experienced a notable improvement, resulting in more engaging and effective lessons that fostered a supportive learning environment for both students and staff.
Linton played a key role in helping us make sense of teaching languages in a manner that could be seamlessly applied across the curriculum, particularly in literacy for our English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners. His professional development style is both engaging and informative, establishing a strong and trusting relationship with our staff that positively influenced the success of the program.
Linton effectively supports classroom teachers in language instruction using an 'I do, We do, You do' model, which proved to be transferable across various curriculum areas. His constructive feedback and support were instrumental in enabling our staff to enhance their own knowledge, skills, and confidence in teaching languages.
Additionally, Linton played a pivotal role in our school's adoption of the TCL languages program. His clear and effective communication motivated all staff members, resulting in the successful implementation of a whole-school approach. This approach ensures a cohesive and impactful language learning environment for our students.
