Description
Speaking and listening are key elements of the primary English National Curriculum; they are also fundamental to children's language development and learning.
The need for teachers to develop children's talk in its own right and also to use talk as a means of learning is central to effective primary practice, yet it is an area in which teachers often have little confidence.
Now in a fully revised and updated edition, Unlocking Speaking and Listening aims to address a recognised need by tackling key issues surrounding speaking and listening with rigour, depth and a strong focus on research. The contributors offer creative and practical advice on teaching speaking and listening from the early years through Key Stages 1 and 2, underpinned by theory into the approach.
Significant, interrelated and areas covered include:Drama and storytellingWorking with EAL childrenGifted and talented pupilsSpecial educational needsUsing ICT. With contributions from experts in the field, this book is a vital resource to help both trainee and practising primary teachers understand and promote the importance of speaking and listening as an effective tool for learning across the primary curriculum.
