Talk About Communication
Years 5-13 - Full Day Workshop
Prepare your students to deliver structured individual presentations for school, exams and the workplace
Get In TouchTalk About Communication is a fast-paced and engaging confident communication workshop that develops students’ oracy skills and spoken confidence. Students will explore different modes of communication, develop effective use of structuring in short talks and presentations and apply persuasive language techniques to get their message across confidently and effectively. Students will also be well prepared for English Speaking and Listening assessments.
This workshop can support the Gatsby Benchmarks by helping you to address the needs of each pupil (3) and linking curriculum learning to careers (4). This workshop can also form part of a stable careers programme (1).

This is a full day workshop supporting students from years 5 through to 13. Within this workshop each student will speak in front of their peers, a minimum of three times, while learning core components around visual, vocal and verbal communication.
In addition, these sessions will provide students with core speaking and listening skills, which can be used in all lessons across the curriculum.
“The day increased people’s confidence. I saw some members of my class, who had been reluctant to speak, become empowered to do so. It was great to see members of our class developing a real positivity for talking to other people. The sessions were very practical and helped us to prepare for our English speech.”
“As a school, we are indebted to the Talk The Talk team for their work with our students and our staff. The work with students enabled individuals to grow in confidence in a very short space of time and be proud of their successes. Our staff found the CPD session to be extremely valuable as they were able to share experiences and explore the value of talk.”

At the end of the workshop Talk The Talk’s support doesn’t end. Our resources section includes free videos, lesson plans and classroom resources so you can continue to build on what we have started. This allows you to continue to boost communication opportunities and ensure that strong oracy skills are embedded within the mindsets of your students.
