A sound approach that covered everything from the research underpinning, how to develop a strategic overview and then what this looks like in the classroom. Very easy to register and be part of - thank you!

This course has been phenomenal in explaining the ideology of infusing rich vocabulary which was clearly presented, research based and of value.

Fantastic! I would highly recommend this course. It offers lots of practical ideas and templates that can be taken straight into the school and classroom with lots of evidence and theory to back these up with.

Excellent - totally relevant and brilliant! Research based practical whole school tools to infuse and embed ambitious vocabulary. Brilliantly presented and explained with superb examples with a scintillating flair. Inspired to share key messages with my staff to benefit our pupils. Thank you.

Has helped me to refine own thinking and given me some valuable guidance on where to read more.

Fantastic!

Useful daily activities to practice. Word lists will present a good starting point for subject leaders.

Practical elements to be used across the curriculum in a workable manner. Feeling excited!

Reignited my love of words and language.

Deep thinking about the systematic planning for vocabulary in the lesson. Loads of ideas!

Strong research bank to intellectualise evidence and suggestions.

Developing conceptual understanding and making connections to prior knowledge was useful. A very informative course. I will leave with a much deeper understanding of how we teach vocabulary and immerse children in rich language.

Dovetailed well with other training around curriculum development.

The approaches to developing tier 2 and 3 words were useful.

Food for thought!

Love the examples. Great presentation. Great resources to use in class with useful analogues.

Rethinking whole approach to curriculum now!

A comprehensive and well-structured approach. Infusing vocabulary across the curriculum.

Inclusive Oracy: How Tongue Fu Talking® Scaffolds Every Student
19th Aug 2025
This article explores a key question in oracy education: how can schools ensure that oracy frameworks include every student, not just the most fluent speakers? Oracy is the disciplined art of speaking and listening—where thinking, language, expression, and collaboration come together to shape understanding and communication. A narrow focus on fluency in statutory requirements or oracy frameworks can unintentionally exclude students with speech, language and communication needs, autistic spectrum conditions, or those who stammer. This article analyses the 23 teachable practices of Tongue Fu Talking®, showing how each is scaffolded to ensure inclusion. Practices such as expressive eyes and face, rhetorical flair, and managing interactions—often difficult for some learners—are made accessible through sentence stems, multimodal communication, and progression belts. Tongue Fu Talking® provides a structured oracy framework for schools that values reasoning, expression, and collaboration, ensuring all students can become confident and effective communicators.
