Drama for Oracy

ABOUT THE COURSE

Drama can be used to intentionally develop children’s oracy skills. This mainly practical course demonstrates how Drama Strategies can be set up and used as ‘Talk Frames’ in any subject lesson, as well as during ‘whole class drama’ lessons. Drama strategies use different configurations, groupings and protocols. They provide a range of opportunities for children to practise talking in appropriate ways, for different purposes. Teachers will also learn some ways of sequencing drama strategies, to ensure that an oracy focus is maintained.

Teachers will be guided practically and theoretically, through one, two or three lessons, (depending on the session time available). Oracy opportunities will be highlighted and explained throughout.
