What is this webinar about?

Clear communication, active listening, and being confident in discussions are all indicators of strong oracy skills. They’re not just valuable in the classroom; they’re essential for success in life and work. So how do we help our learners build these skills? In this session, we’ll look at practical ways to make oracy a regular, purposeful part of English lessons. You’ll discover classroom activities that nurture learners’ physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development while strengthening their ability to speak and listen effectively. We’ll also explore how integrated learning and assessment and problem-based learning can work together to support oracy, and share actionable strategies you can start using right away.
