Question 4

Whole - part - whole

Answer 4

Whole - learners are first exposed to the ‘whole’, where we demonstrate the ‘whole’ skill and then ask them to have a try themselves

Part - now that we’ve identified what part of BLABT that the class needs to work on, we will use a teaching practice to work on that individual part of the skill

Whole - this second ‘whole’ gives them a chance to put specific ‘part(s)’ of the skill that they’ve worked on into the context of the ‘whole’ skill
