Oracy Through Public Speaking Workshops
The ESU’s Oracy Through Public Speaking workshops are available for learners in Key Stages 2-5, providing oracy skills development opportunities tailored to age, ability and school requirements.
Public speaking isn’t just about being able to stand up in front of an audience to present. It’s just as much about developing confidence and foundational speaking and listening skills to support learners of all ages engage fully in the curriculum. Our Oracy Through Public Speaking workshops provide schools with the opportunity to develop these oracy skills within the framework of public speaking – showing students how these skills they are learning in the classroom can translate to authentic real-world situations.
With links across the curriculum, and an excellent addition to any careers programme, Oracy Through Public Speaking workshops provide schools with a fun, engaging opportunity to get all students talking with confidence.
We have three workshops available for each age group – Beginner (Years 5-6); Intermediate (Years 7-8) and Advanced (Years 9-10). Each workshop in each group builds on the one before, or can be offered as a stand-alone option. Schools buying all three receive a detailed programme of activity leading to a capstone facilitated public speaking competition day, providing excellent practice for students wanting to explore competitions or an opportunity to showcase your oracy provision within and outside of your school.
Workshop length: workshops last 2.5 hours (but multiple options can be combined to create a full-day programme)
Delivery: ESU oracy experts
Pricing: From £325 for half-day or £900 for a series of three.
