Talking for a Purpose

Click here to find out when our next Talking for a Purpose training is

 

This strategy is designed to support pupils at KS3 who, though they have a working command of both social and academic language, are not fulfilling their academic potential because they either lack confidence or are not practised in using talking and listening as vehicles for learning. The intervention is designed for a group of 3-5 children who work with an adult on a variety of key activities for a period of 30 minutes, twice a week for 8 weeks . It aims to support pupils in extending their language skills in a non-threatening learning environment.
