This webinar explores how exploratory dialogue can transform classroom interaction and promote deeper language learning. Drawing on classroom practice and teacher training experience, the session focuses on how shifting from teacher-centred talk to interactive dialogue allows learners to construct meaning collaboratively, increasing both engagement and proficiency. Participants will examine practical ways to structure classroom interaction—through questioning strategies, pair negotiation tasks, and reflective prompts—that empower students to think aloud and take ownership of their learning. The session will also highlight the role of teacher language and attitudes in shaping an inclusive environment where learners’ voices are heard and valued. Through discussion and short activity design tasks, participants will leave with adaptable tools for fostering genuine communication, curiosity, and confidence in their learners—creating classrooms where language development grows naturally from interaction rather than instruction.
