Encouraged by observing colleagues already using it in Chemistry at Keele, I took up TBL in 2016. Initially, my main use of TBL was at Nanjing Xiaozhuang University in China, through a joint degree programme. In this setting, TBL had the added advantage of helping break through language barriers; by having team discussions in Chinese, whilst reports to the class were made in English, “TBL Lite” greatly improved student engagement and understanding. I have since embedded it in all my Level 4 and 5 teaching at Keele.
