Talk The Talk’s Teacher CPD supports teachers to develop the skills to use oracy as a major tool in their teaching. Oracy is a powerful tool – not just for English Speaking and Listening – but across all subjects in terms of improving student engagement, developing classroom discussion and immediately assessing whether learning has taken place.
This is a dynamic CPD workshop led by senior trainers who are also experienced former teachers. This is a hands-on, practical session.
For inset days, Talk The Talk runs an additional workshop with senior leadership teams on the implementation and embedding of your oracy strategy in school.

Talk The Talk's support doesn't end with our workshops. We have free resources that include videos, lesson plans and classroom resources that can be used to continue and progress your oracy strategy after the workshops. Our follow-up lessons are full of individual, pair and group activities that will help your school to embed oracy across your curriculum and prepare your students for oral assessments, interviews and presentations. Each follow-up lesson can be delivered during form or class time and consist of a Powerpoint or QuickTime movie, a lesson plan and teacher notes.
