Description¶

The article distills teacher takeaways from its classroom observations: keep notebooks in the classroom where feasible to prevent students forgetting them, check notebooks regularly, run distillations as a class warm-up to retrieve vocabulary and refocus attention from smartphones, provide a mentored worked example of each step, and use an A4 notebook so distillation 3 fits under the headlist with room for example sentences, drawings, or L2 synonyms.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Regular checking of notebooks to ensure activities are done properly
• A4-size notebook to leave space under the headlist for the third distillation

Constraints¶

• Keeping notebooks in class "may not be feasible for all settings such as the university setting this study was set in"

Target Learners¶

• University and pre-university L2 English learners

Target Learning Goals¶

• Consistent spaced retrieval review of target L2 vocabulary
