This British Council webinar discusses helping young learners recognize their language progress. Experts emphasize that seeing progress boosts motivation. Strategies include clear learning objectives (using the ABCD framework: Achievable, Believable, Conceivable, Desirable), simple self-reflection methods (e.g., “two stars and a wish”), group activities with peer assessment, and communicating progress to parents via reflection sheets and portfolios. Using badges, stamps, and digital tools are also suggested, alongside fostering a positive learning environment to build confidence and risk-taking.
