Using the whiteboard tables is a great way to encourage students to actively participate in group discussion activities. Students use the tables to put their ideas on with keywords and pictures so that everybody in the group can see and express their ideas or thoughts through the discussion.
2. How does the teacher?
During the lesson using this strategy, the teacher is the facilitator, who give students the support and guide them in the discussion to make sure that they all understand the content. Moreover, it is the formative assessment in which the teacher can assess their vocabulary, spelling, content understanding, and collaborative skills.
3. Why are whiteboard tables useful tools for communication in classrooms with ELLs?
Whiteboard tables are useful tools for ELLs to communicate with each other in the classroom. Students are asked to write out their thinking with words or pictures on the whiteboard tables. In this way, they are more engaged and become more confident to express their thoughts, exchange ideas and discuss with their peers comfortably.
4. How might you use whiteboard tables in your own classroom?
Using whiteboard tables in the classroom for communication is a great way that benefits student learning in many ways. I will apply this method in my own classroom in the same way or adjust a little bit with pair-work, group-work or group presentation.
