Empowering Classroom Talk

Empowering Classroom Talk with the Structural Learning Toolkit provides practical strategies for embedding oracy into everyday teaching. It introduces Exploratory Talk (sharing ideas, building knowledge) and Explanatory Talk (explaining and justifying conclusions) as essential classroom tools. Each strategy is paired with structured resources, such as role cards, graphic organizers, and question banks, to support purposeful and collaborative discussions. The guide emphasizes how oracy develops students’ thinking, communication, and lifelong collaboration skills while seamlessly integrating into existing lessons. Ideal for teachers seeking to enhance student dialogue and engagement in learning.
