Why this course is relevant or important:

All of us have cognitive limits which, due to the limitations of working memory, are easily exceeded.  Paivio’s research into Dual Coding helps teachers to plan learning activities that have been proven to help students to remember curriculum content more effectively.

This course rounds up the theory in an easily understandable way and provides many practical examples of its application in the primary curriculum.

Take away:

  • A thorough understanding of Dual Coding Theory
  • Examples of its use in the Primary Curriculum

Curriculum Based Debates: A powerful Classroom Talk Strategy

Curriculum-based debates are a powerful classroom talk strategy, as they require both deep thinking and articulate expression. Within Tongue Fu Talking™, Chris Quigley's Oracy Framework, debates are built around two modes of talk: Explorer Mode–Talk for reasoning, discovery, and collaborative thinking, and Presenter Mode–Talk for structured, confident communication with an audience. These modes ensure that debates are not about winning arguments but about learning through talk, linking oracy directly to disciplinary knowledge and metacognitive strategies. Here, we show how our 480 curriculum-based debates across our four belt levels build both oracy and subject understanding.
