Description
Transforming teaching and learning through talk is no longer just an educational choice, but a moral imperative. In our current education system, where written exams dominate, the power of talk is often left adrift. Amy Gaunt and Alice Stott's book offers a detailed and engaging guide to harnessing the power of talk in the classroom.
The authors blend academic research and evidence with first-hand classroom experiences and practical strategies to unlock the power of oracy in your classroom. They provide a rich resource for teachers, outlining how to identify and teach good talk, build a classroom culture that values talk, and create meaningful and authentic contexts for oracy. The book also offers support for quietest students to speak up, making it a valuable resource for educators of all levels.
