Oracy
Our Oracy Vision
"Oracy is the ability to articulate ideas, develop understanding and engage with others through spoken language." Voice 21
At Audley Junior School, oracy is a vital part of every day. Children develop the confidence and emotional intelligence to communicate meaningfully with others to develop ideas and deepen understanding.
The Voice 21 Oracy Framework
At Audley Junior School, we centre our oracy curriculum around The Oracy Framework. At the start of the year, each class develops their own discussion guidelines based on the four strands of, 'Physical', 'Linguistic', 'Cognitive' and 'Social and Emotional'. The discussion guidelines develop in complexity as the children move through the school.
The Audley ABC
The Audley ABC is a key part of every lesson and allows our children to hold a meaningful discussion. We 'A' - agree with what has been said, 'B' - build on a point made by others and 'C' - challenge other people's opinion in a polite way. We use the sentence stems, 'I agree...', 'I would like to build on X's point...' and ' I would like to challenge...'.
