Abstract Teaching objectives and classroom activities is part of a package of materials all related to the four aspects of speaking and listening in the National Curriculum:
- speaking: being able to speak clearly and to develop and sustain ideas in talk;
- listening: developing active listening strategies and critical skills of analysis;
- group discussion and interaction: taking different roles in groups, making a range of contributions and working collaboratively;
- drama: improvising and working in role, scripting and performing, and responding to performances.
This booklet aims to support a more systematic approach to oral work by showing how objectives for speaking and listening can be built into teaching. You may wish to use the suggested teaching sequences or develop your own alternatives. This process needs to be supported and monitored in a range of ways, such as in-class support, logging successes and issues for discussion, and agreeing a whole-school approach to identifying the time to teach speaking and listening. The booklet contains objectives for teaching speaking and listening in Years 1–6, arranged in two formats: by term and year to guide planning, and by strand to highlight progression within each strand. |
