The types of talk that took place between teachers and students was also investigated to see if there was any correlation between this and the types of language and the strategies and techniques used during their lessons. Some lessons observed demonstrated a more teacher centred approach while others a more learner centred approach. Lessons at the beginning of a Unit of Inquiry often involved the teacher front loading information and were therefore more teacher centred while those lessons that were observed towards the end of the unit involved students working independently on inquiry and were more learner centred. The context of the school might also determine whether a lesson is more teacher centred and may be a requirement of the particular setting they are working in. Overall a high number of learner centred lessons were observed which would appear to be in line with the philosophy of the PYP that teachers should be facilitators of learning. It was concluded that language learners need to be exposed to different types of language and working with students in different ways such as whole class, pair and group or individually provides the greatest method of doing this.
