"Reading and writing float on a sea of talk" declared James Britton
- and yet in our current education system, where the pressure is on
for students to pass written exams, it is all too easily left
adrift. How then, as teachers and educators, can we turn the tide
and harness the power of talk in our classrooms? This is not just
an educational choice but rather, given students' vastly different
experiences of language, a moral imperative. Amy Gaunt and Alice
Stott's must-read book serves as a detailed and engaging guide to
get talking in class. It blends the academic research and evidence,
with first-hand classroom experiences and practical strategies to
enable you to unlock the power of oracy in your classroom and equip
your students with the speaking skills they need to thrive in the
twenty first century. Transform Teaching and Learning Through Talk
describes how to: *Identify and teach good talk (and listening!)
*Build a classroom culture which values talk *Create meaningful and
authentic contexts for oracy *Support your quietest students to
speak up too! This book is a rich resource for teachers, drawing
upon key academic research and outlining what this could look like
in your classroom. Throughout, the authors share personal insights,
engaging anecdotes and tried-and-tested approaches drawn from their
experience teaching in primary and secondary classrooms. Whether
you teach college-age students or those just starting their journey
through school, this book will challenge you to think deeply about
what you can do integrate oracy into your practice.
