With the Common Core State Standards emphasizing listening and
speaking across the curriculum, these long-neglected language arts
are regaining a place in schools. For teachers, this means
reexamining practices and rethinking expectations. How much do we
know about teaching listening and speaking as the complex
communication skills they are? How do we teach students to discuss
appropriately, integrate and understand the mountains of
information they receive, and express themselves clearly and
effectively? In this lively and practical book, 20-year teaching
veteran Erik Palmer presents an approach aligned to the six Common
Core anchor standards for speaking and listening but focused on
preparing students for 21st century communication inside and beyond
the classroom. Here, you'll get concrete guidance for teaching and
assessing: Collaborative discussion. Listening and media literacy.
Questioning and reasoning. Speech presentation. Effective
multimedia use. Adapting speech to different content and tasks.
With due respect to reading and writing, we do most of our
communicating-in the classroom and in life-through listening and
speaking. Filled with examples and specific activities targeted to
variety of subjects and grade levels, this book is an essential
resource for all teachers interested in helping students acquire
core skills that cross the content areas and support long-term
success.
