It was fantastic to hear about how a system should be embedded within a school setting. I loved hearing about Tongue Fu Talking and am extremely interested in purchasing for the next academic year. 100/100!

Fantastic as always Chris - thank you!

Thank you so much - as usual, today has been thought-provoking from start to finish.  I'll definitely be using the vocabulary games as starter activities next week, and I will be introducing the Think-aloud Crowd across the curriculum to help children use metacognitive strategies in their learning.

This has been so useful with lots of great ideas to try out, thankyou.

Thanks very much Chris, another brilliant webinar.

Thank you so much, I can't wait to get started.

Thanks for the Oracy Webinar. Lots of great ideas and tangible activities shared.

Thank you for the wealth of resources you have provided and a great overview of oracy in practise!

Thank you so much - amazing information and resources.

Thank you, Chris, for a thought provoking day around Oracy. The resources are brilliant and provide the tools to develop a more formal approach to champion Oracy across our school.

Thank you for the detailed and very well delivered Oracy CPD.

Thanks for the Oracy webinar. Lots of great ideas and tangible activities shared.

Very clear diagrams, explained well. 10/10

Chris sharing information as a knowledgeable expert who is able to express himself clearly and in an engaging manner was useful. Initial theory and links to cognitive educational practice were also useful.  The Metacognition Live Webinar clearly identified strategies to support children develop metacognition through various practice, including generative activity.

Many schools are increasing opportunities for students to talk through presentations, debates and podcasts. This is a positive shift. However, opportunities for talk are not, in themselves, a system for improving talk. Improvement comes from a clearly articulated body of knowledge that can be taught, practised and assessed. Tongue Fu Talking® provides this structure by defining what effective talk consists of and how it develops over time, enabling students to become more precise, reasoned and purposeful in how they speak and listen.
