TTS Talking Early Years

Episode 5 | Defining and unpicking oracy with Amy Gaunt


Listen Later

Dr. Shaddai Tembo is joined by Amy Gaunt, Director of Learning, Impact and Influence at Voice21, a national oracy education charity who work with schools across the UK. 

Amy and Shaddai discuss how oracy is defined and how we deliberately think about the way we speak with children. They highlight the benefits of an oracy-rich curriculum to support life beyond school and help children to be good friends and life partners in their adult life. 

Amy touches on the four strands of the oracy framework that Voice 21 developed with University of Cambridge and touches on focussing on strengths and developing skills. 

Practitioners will learn about how human skills are needed in the age of AI and technology as well as the importance of the things we don’t say.
