Many young people have become accustomed to using paralanguage and single words in normal parlance.
This has resulted in a limited vocabulary.
Pupils need to be taught how to develop their oracy skills.
Use simple visuals that show words that pupils currently use such as ‘so’, ‘like’ and show alternative words such as ‘therefore’ which will help them develop their spoken and written answers and ‘say it better’.
Closely links with Area Learning Community and cross-phase focus on improving Speaking and Listening skills.
