Oracy workshops from the English-Speaking Union, which craft thoughtful speaking and listening skills and empower students. An ESU Discover Your Voice workshop 1 EMPOWER YOUR STUDENTS Strengthening oracy is more than building confidence and making speeches. Oracy empowers students with the skills to craft communication. They’ll see the direct impact of their words in all settings, and know that their voice has the power to impact the world around them in ways both big and small. 2 RAISE ATTAINMENT When oracy improves, so does attainment. Why? Group work becomes more meaningful, students are able to articulate what they understand, question what they don’t, and meaningfully support their peers. Moreover, students can take charge of their learning journey and classrooms buzz with communicative young minds engaged in the learning experience. 3 REACH NEW HEIGHTS Oracy is a crucial skill for advancement in any area; well- crafted communication cuts through social barriers to allow for genuine social mobility. Regardless of their chosen path, your students will need strong oracy skills to progress through life and reach their full potential, whatever that means for them. 4 ENCOURAGE EMPATHY As well as helping your students express themselves, oracy skills will help them interpret what others have to say. By nurturing oracy, you’re facilitating active listening. Naturally, this helps your students become more engaged, empathetic, culturally aware young people, able to better understand others and the world around them. 5 TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY Empowering your students with strong oracy skills is essential to smooth transitions through education. Students who confidently speak and actively listen are more able to express themselves well in new environments, seek out clubs, converse with teachers, and make new friends. They are therefore much more likely to have a successful and enjoyable start to each new stage.
