Oracy is a field which matters across every single subject, and the benefits to young students are not only academic, but also stretch to strengthening identity and self-actualisation.

The challenge of how we define oracy and assess it in schools is not an easy one, so joining us to discuss the nuances of that challenge on this episode of Brighter Futures are Oracy Cambridge’s Alan Howe, and EDT’s own Dr Nicky Platt and Dr Jim Rogers.

This episode covers

• The broad range of skills encompassed within the field of oracy
• Growing evidence around the improved academic outcomes for disadvantaged students in particular
• Challenges surrounding the appropriate method for assessing oracy 
• How to successfully integrate oracy across the entire curriculum
