Teaching Oracy is Critical to Improving Writing.

Oracy is the art of highly effective/articulate speaking. Oracy has its foundations in Socratic Seminars, Recitation and Performance, Harkness Method, and the Dialectic process.  Developing powerful academic listening that deepens understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving through the spoken word. Daily Oracy lessons build advanced articulate language (spoken literacy), adroit communication skills, and advanced vocabulary knowledge.  

Developing eloquent oral language skills builds and supports written language skills. Students that develop advanced language and vocabulary skills are able to articulate what they want to communicate in a written form. Using Oracy skills in daily lessons helps students become advanced flexible thinkers. Students learn to form and construct complex thoughts that they can then synthesize into a written and spoken form. Oracy skills help students find their literal voice, they discover they have fascinating ideas they want to share. Oracy practiced daily in schools creates students with powerful oratorical, rhetorical, and dialectic skills. Oracy takes invisible thoughts and turns them into powerful world-class communication.

Teaching oracy is instrumental to better reading and, in particular, writing. In developmental terms, humans acquire oral language first -- a prerequisite for literacy. And the cycle of talk before writing is well established as sound pedagogical practice.Sep 15, 2016
