Oracy is not just speaking; it is about using talk to promote and enhance learning. Robin Alexander asserts that oracy, or the development of talk, should foster thinking, not simply require pupils to report on someone else’s ideas. Pupils should learn how to pose their own questions and how to use talk to narrate, explain, speculate, imagine, hypothesise, explore, evaluate, discuss, argue, reason, and justify.
This staff meeting starter encourages staff to reflect on the role oracy in the classroom has on improving, enhancing, and promoting learning.
