Course summary:

Drawing on recent research and reports, in this webinar we explore a range of ideas for developing crucial spoken language skills within the primary classroom. 

The Speak for Change, report from the All Party Parliamentary Group on oracy, stressed the importance of oracy in our schools recognising that, because it is not assessed, it is often regarded as a poor relation to other subject areas. The report highlighted the benefits of oral language to educational attainment, literacy and vocabulary acquisition, health and well-being and a range of other areas.. Ofsted's annual report (2022 - 2023) and recently publish English Subject Report also recognise that the teaching spoken language skills is often very limited and is not carefully planned and sequenced.

After a brief consideration of recent research we will explore a range of strategies and practical ideas for developing oral language and vocabulary in our classrooms. This will include the use of drama, debate, discussion and presentations and the differences between spoken and written language. If spoken language is an area for development your school or classroom or is an aspect of the curriculum you wish to develop further, come and join us to find out more.
