Tom Sherrington, headteacher of Highbury Grove, and the school's director of oracy, Andrew Fitch, approach this with gusto. |
There are low levels of English literacy and oracy in many cases. |
Because of the rather low level of local language literacy proficiency, much of the translation is often from literacy to oracy. |
And we're offering the students a program which not only develops their writing but their oracy from the beginning of schooling. |
But it's an opportunity because students taking GCSE English will still get a separate speaking and listening certificate, which gives schools a chance to develop their oracy work. |
It has given shape to much of the Western world's inheritance of oracy and literacy. |
