Transform Teaching and Learning through Talk: The Oracy Imperative

This book has made such a powerful impact on the way I see language development for English Learners and Spanish Learners. It has definitely steered a goal for our Professional Development teacher opportunities in our department.

This is an essential guide to implementing oracy based strategies into school, building on the pioneering work done by Voice 21. The book is highly accessible with straightforward ideas that can be implemented in all subject areas. If you are looking for a comprehensive guide to improving the quality of pupil talk then this is it. Highly recommended.

An excellent resource championing the value of identifying and teaching effective talking and listening in the classroom. Combining research, personal insights and practical strategies, the book is easy to read and is an excellent “tool kit” for teachers who value the importance of oracy.

A great read. It really went into detail when discussing why oracy is important. Beautifully written with some amazing strategies which I have started implementing in my class.

A must for any teacher

Excellent book! Really simple ideas that will impact learning
