Group Formation
Design Principle
Organize various forms of collaboration that serve the learning objectives, and are suitable to the group dynamic as well as the individual pupil needs.
Example
Students experience a sense belonging within the lessons. The forms of collaborations support their full participation, and therefore their (language) learning process.
