Understanding oracy
Oracy is the ability to articulate ideas, develop understanding and engage with others through spoken language.
In school, oracy is a powerful tool for learning; by teaching students to become more effective speakers and listeners we empower them to better understand themselves, each other and the world around them. It is also a route to social mobility, empowering all students, not just some, to find their voice to succeed in school and life.
Why oracy matters
A high-quality oracy education is vital to not only improve academic outcomes of students but also to foster their confidence and wellbeing.
Why does a high-quality oracy education matter?
