Lots of debate recently on the topic of oracy. Without clear definitions and parameters for practice, I'm not sure debate will prove so useful.
I considered a few questions to frame the oracy debate that *may* be helpful...

I’m excited to announce my first co-authored publication! Check out our article in the latest English 4-11 magazine, exploring the oracy culture at @paprimary with lecturer Beth Marley from the University of Birmingham. @EnglishAssoc@The_UKLA @voice21oracy
Today we had Year 2’s first parent workshop of the year. It was amazing to see so many parents attend and support their child on their reading journey!
On Oracy: at one level it can be about helping young people speak well but at another it's about 'learning through talk'. This is a matter of whether we can learn through vocalising our thoughts, listening to others' viewpoints, 'chaining' in conversations, turn-taking etc.
