Session 4

EDI in Action: Applying Inclusive Practices

The final session brings theory and practice together. You will focus on applying UDL principles and inclusive assessment strategies in flexible and realistic ways, using The Effective Language Teacher resource pack and the project website. This session supports you in translating EDI principles into concrete classroom actions, while recognising the need for adaptability across different teaching contexts. The aim is to help you leave the programme with practical, sustainable approaches to inclusive English language teaching.

By the end of this session, you will:
• Apply principles of inclusive assessment to revise and improve an essay-writing assessment brief so that it is accessible, transparent, and supportive for diverse learners.
• Analyse examples of essay feedback using a feedback profiling tool to identify strengths, gaps, and areas for improving inclusivity and clarity.
• Produce constructive, specific, and inclusive feedback for sample essays, demonstrating the use of the profiling tool to guide your comments.
