Use Solitex. Its airtight and tear resistant as the slabs are moved into place. Consider putting a mortar bed on top of the solitex to heap stop it getting torn. Then fix to the wall below the slabs with mesh and plaster over. Totally airtight hollowcore slabs.

Full details are on www.tonyshouse.info
