Teacher Takeaway

Season 5 | Episode 10 | Tune up your Turn and Talk

Mar 29, 2025

In this episode, Sue Hiland returns to the podcast to zoom in on one deceptively simple instructional routine: Turn and Talk. Building on her previous discussion of fluency pairs, Sue unpacks the layers of Turn and Talk and explores how this foundational practice supports engagement, oral language, equity, formative assessment, and the development of academic English. The conversation moves beyond the surface of “talking to a partner” to consider classroom culture, cold calling, inclusion, task analysis, and what makes this a high-leverage instructional routine when embedded deeply in school culture.
