About the book
Purposeful classroom talk, or oracy, is increasingly recognised as fundamental for supporting both personal and academic development and for enhancing genuine participation in learning. Based on classroom observations and interviews, this book offers an analysis of schools’ responses to improving the quality of both learning to talk and talking to learn.
The book explores classroom talk through the analysis and comparison of examples drawn from diverse schools and age groups, across primary and secondary education settings. Alongside a wealth of practical strategies, the book offers an insight into the realities of implementation, helping teachers to make well-informed judgments about developing classroom talk within their own schools.
