Scaffolding
is a great way to engage students in a lesson from the very beginning. Scaffolding helps building skills
and competences by helping learners to understand the contents and the language using different estrategies that support them to build skills and competences which will be transferred to other
In order to make scaffolding effectively, we should always have in mind
the objective of
our lesson, the students’ needs and the task sequencing, and
focus our scaffolding where the help is needed to achieve intended learning
outcomes.
Remember that Scaffolding means helping
learners to build and develop skills and competences, and it helps teachers to attend diversity and foster
creativity and autonomy within the classroom.
“I’ve seen teachers burn out
because of the effort they put into planning, so it’s important to start
slowly, to take small steps, bite-size pieces and ideally work in a team –with
language and content teachers.”
