In this speaking and listening task learners work together to build word bridges, building and sharing understanding by applying the particle model

This resource includes everything you need to promote effective group discussions that will give learners the opportunity to build a shared understanding of the particle model by articulating ideas that are developed and challenged constructively within the group. The slide deck provides supporting information, including learning objectives, a worked example, speaking and listening rules; five word bridges for learners to build in groups; five misconceptions (related to the word bridges); plus example answers for all sections.
