Few educational publications could be more timely. As oracy moves towards becoming a central part of educational policy and practice, 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers: Oracy offers secondary schools a practical and comprehensive guide to embedding high-quality talk across the curriculum.
Oracy is about far more than public speaking. It encompasses learning through talk, learning how to talk and learning about talk. It enables students to listen well, collaborate effectively, develop academic language and take an active role in classroom dialogue. When embedded across a school, oracy helps increase confidence, wellbeing and belonging, particularly for students with SEND and those who may otherwise struggle to find their voice - as well as improve attainment, of course.
This wider recognition of oracy has gathered momentum in recent years through the work of organisations such as Voice 21 and Oracy Cambridge, and through recommendations that speaking and listening should be given equal status to reading and writing within the curriculum. This book arrives at exactly the right moment to harness these recommendations - and practically implement change within the curriculum.
Part of Bloomsbury's popular 100 Ideas for Teachers series, the book is packed with practical, classroom-tested strategies that you can implement immediately. The authors cover everything from vocabulary development and classroom discussion to inclusion, reflection and whole-school leadership. Particularly useful is the subject-specific section, which demonstrates how oracy can be developed across different disciplines rather than being treated as a standalone initiative.
Each idea is supported by teaching tips, extension activities and reflections from teachers, students and school leaders, making the book both accessible and grounded in real classroom practice. The authors bring exceptional expertise. Alan Howe, who led the influential National Oracy Project, and Topsy Page, a leading specialist in classroom dialogue and oracy, combine decades of experience with a clear understanding of the challenges facing today's schools. Outstanding.
