Teaching the Oral in Essential English

Teaching Resources for IA1 & IA3 in the Essential English Curriculum

Teachers have said that the most difficult area to teach in tasks such as IA1 and IA3 is the oral delivery component. Experience has shown that As and Bs are scored proportionally in the areas of knowledge application and organisation, but when it came to developing content into the oral format and delivering it effectively, marks of C and below were disappointingly common. Students seem to struggle most in simply turning their text into a confident delivery, regardless of what modality they are using.

The resource includes content on delivery to camera & multi-media.

It will help teachers to:

• Teach students a proven 10 STEP PLAN that will allow them to create and prepare an oral that can be delivered effectively in their chosen medium (In person or to a camera).
• Show students how to effectively Incorporate cohesive devices into their presentation.
• Provide students with practical strategies for the most effective use of their voice.
• Teach students how to deliver their content using confident, complementary body language.
• Show students how to effectively incorporate multi-media elements into their presentation (including effective creation and use of slideshows).

In this teaching resource, you will receive material collated into 12 manageable modules that can be taught in the classroom then accessed later by students for revision. Included are:

• 14 Fully editable PowerPoint slideshows with a full script
• 14 revision videos on each module
• 12 Student information worksheets and handouts
• 7 Supplementary videos for classroom instruction or student revision
• 4 sets of classroom activities in vocal delivery and body language that can be used to build confidence – even with reluctant students.

The once only purchase price entitles your school to:

• Upload the content to the school intranet for access by all teachers and students
• An introductory (live, virtual) session of 45 minutes conducted by the authors for English teachers at your school.
