Building Oracy Skills in the Classrooms

Ms. Shaheen Aggarwal, a dedicated teacher of Oracy and Performing Arts for over 16 years and founder of ‘Speech Matters’ a platform that provides invaluable skills to young minds, in continuation of Building Oracy Skills in the Classrooms, conducted a Workshop for our teachers today, i.e., Saturday, 8 March 2025, across both Primary and Secondary sections.

The Workshop was aimed at strengthening Oracy Skills in the Classrooms wherein she emphasized on building Nonverbal, Thinking, Listening and Speaking Skills as  vital components of learning a language.

She emphasized the power of listening in building trust and how language is a tool for abstract thinking. Amongst other things, the Workshop also highlighted the importance of articulation, intonation, cadence, enunciation and diction for effective communication.

Teachers got hands-on with phonic exercises and fun tricks to make classrooms more engaging.

A fantastic session as we prepare for an exciting new term ahead!
