Asian Journal of Education and Training, 7(3), 169-178, p. 170“…the interconnectedness of concepts within a curriculum (Kannan, 2016). There is vertical articulation when the lessons to be taken in a subject are related to those occurring later in the curriculum sequence, implying the organisation of content according to the sequence and continuity of learning within a given subject domain.”Ethan Emerson (blog) https://exquisitiveeducation.com/what-is-vertical-articulation-in-education/ “By creating a cohesive learning experience, vertical articulation enables students to build upon their knowledge and skills as they move from one grade level to the next. When educators from the same department or content area collaborate to implement vertical articulation, they are able to identify and address any gaps or inconsistencies in the curriculum.”Intro & outro music selected from "23 Light Years" by CavalloPazzo Support the showConversations about Language TeachingDiane Neubauer, PhD & Reed Riggs, PhD"Conversations about Language Teaching" is a podcast of unscripted discussions of language teaching, drawing on both research and classroom & online language teaching. If you like thinking deeply about issues of classroom language teaching and how those relate to research and theory, this podcast might be for you.Reed & Diane, the hosts, base our knowledge of language teaching on research we've read & done, theoretical views of language acquisition, our experiences as language teachers and learners, and our observations of language teaching in the US and elsewhere. We like to help build bridges among teachers and researchers and view ourselves as part of both communities. We collaborate on projects & like talking about language teaching & learning, and decided to have some of those conversations in a podcast format.
