An early start for me today to get to London for @voice21oracy.bsky.social Speaking Summit. Really looking forward to talking to and hearing from fellow oracy enthusiasts. My talk is at 1.30 if you’re gonna be there. Come say hello!
Join me at The Speaking Summit 2026 on Fri 20th March. I’ll be part of a fantastic line-up of oracy experts, hosted by Voice21, gathering to explore how to take the government’s commitment to oracy forward. My session on ‘Overcoming Barriers to Dialogue’ is at 1.30pm. Hope to see you there!
If you’re interested in school oracy, I’ve put together a policy brief & framework for shaping oracy education that benefits all children & young people. They set out principles for socially just oracy, a possible framework to embed this approach, and policy recommendations. See links in comments.
I'm happy to share a recording of my inaugural lecture on 'Language Diversity & Social (In)Justice' for anyone who missed it and is interested or who watched online and found that the slides weren't working (which has been fixed in the recording). Feel free to share: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgEa...
What a fantastic day at the #SpeakingSummit2026! I didn’t manage to take many photos but here’s one of the fabulous Sonia Thompson who was both inspiring and hilarious (as was journalist, @cocobyname.bsky.social)Thanks to @voice21oracy.bsky.social for organising & inviting me to speak

“Pupils who experience dialogic teaching and learning will develop their oral language skills, gain confidence and build relationships (by becoming more patient and attuned to others’ perspectives)".
