Description

Sponsored by Oxford University Press
Along with developing English language skills, fostering a wide range of global skills prepares students for an increasingly complex world. To bring together these skills, an inquiry-based approach provides a powerful framework for teaching and learning. This presentation examines this framework, with attention to how essential questions prime students for deeper engagement with the topics at hand. The process is illustrated with examples from the new Q: Skills for Success 4e (Oxford University Press).
