Oracy—the ability to speak articulately with confidence and fluency—is one of the most essential yet overlooked disciplines in education today. While we place great emphasis on literacy and numeracy, oracy remains the key to unlocking student potential across all subjects. It is not just a tool for effective communication; it is a powerful driver of deeper learning, critical thinking, and social mobility.

Learning Through Talk and Learning to Talk: A Powerful Partnership
20th Nov 2024
Picture the scene: Classrooms are buzzing with conversation, students debating ideas, explaining their reasoning, and building on each other’s contributions. But what’s the purpose of all this talk?

A Metacognitive Strategy of Predicting: Teaching Tentative Language to Overcome the Fear of Being Wrong
16th May 2024
Making predictions is a critical skill in learning that spans all subjects and year groups. However, one of the most significant barriers to developing this skill in students is their fear of being wrong. This fear can stifle creativity, hinder learning, and prevent students from engaging fully with the material. As teachers, it is essential to create a classroom environment that values the process of thinking and exploration over the correctness of answers. A powerful tool in achieving this is teaching and using tentative language. This blog will explore how to foster such an environment and provide practical strategies for incorporating tentative language into prediction activities.
