EDI Training Tasks

Choose one case from Activity 1 (Session 1) that feels most relevant to your own classroom experience:

• The teacher always calls on the same confident students to answer questions, leaving quieter ones ignored.
• Instructions are given only in English, even though many learners do not yet understand basic classroom language.
• All examples in the textbook reflect Western names and contexts, with no mention of local cultures or traditions.
• The teacher laughs when a student mispronounces a word, making others afraid to speak.
• Students with weaker English skills are seated at the back and rarely asked to participate.
• The teacher penalises students for using their first language during pair work, even when they are trying to understand the task.
• A visually impaired student is given the same small-print worksheet as everyone else, without adaptation.
• Group work is always arranged by ability, and lower-level students never mix with stronger peers.

Write a short reflection (below) (3 to 5 sentences) on:

• Why is this issue important in your context?
• What could you do differently in your own teaching to promote EDI?
