Tell the Time Turkish and English - Booklet

When I started teaching over 30 years ago I was introduced straight from Wales to a multilingual classroom and to be honest I didn’t know what to do.

I believe in Equality for all so started making my own resources.

Being Welsh I am used to seeing things in two languages so it feels normal to me and I know that depending on your fluency you either read one, two or both.

This booklet supports learning the time. It can be used in classrooms or on a one to one basis. there are excercises inside it for the learner to complete.

I had students telling me " I am being treated as though I know nothing but I learnt this in my old school. I just don’t know what your word for it is".

After a while my students steamed ahead as they were using their prior learning rather than going back a step and relearning everything, and just putting a new word to it.

This equality of language meant mine and other teachers who used this system effectively raised learning and assessment as well as more importantly happy students.
