Scaffolding through language

In our opininion if the teacher pretend that the children acquire a successful learning, she/he has to use many scaffolding teaching strategies while she/he is explaining something or communicating with children.

Some important strategies are:

Prompting, repeating ideas and using synonimous, visual support like flahcards, pictures etc, paralingustic information (volume, intonation...), role playing (witch is more entertaining for learners), reformulate the questions if they havn't understood it, vary the pattens and routines if they are ready, formulate display questions for checking and referential questions .

The teacher must be interactiog with them all time, thinking aloud, etc.
