Our expert panel discuss what oracy is, why it matters, and the impact we have seen on pupils’ speaking skills since Covid.

We look at how we can teach oracy in the classroom and across the curriculum, including practical activities for the explicit teaching of oracy as well as ideas for authentic opportunities to encourage talk.

We consider the role of vocabulary teaching, ask what high expectations for classroom talk look like, and hear examples of practice from two primary schools.

And we address the important differences between “learning to talk” and “learning through talk” and the vital role of developing listening as well as speaking skills.
