The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.
