Thanks Chris. Lots to take forward into my new school.

It was clear and concise without making my brain explode! By the same token, it was a valuable use of my time as I learned a lot. Very Good!

Thank you – it was interesting to reflect on how we use the milestones.

Thank you very much – a good refresher for the curriculum principles for me and some nitty gritty at the end! Perfect!

Thank you for your input. A really useful course!

A model to teach the same knowledge but at different levels of depth within a mixed age class was the most useful part of the day. We have 2 micro schools and 4 small schools as well as 2 form entry schools so curriculum conversations are not always the same! Overall, a really useful seminar in helping us to ensure we construct a curriculum to teach Florence Nightingale 3 times! Many thanks for your guidance and thought.

I am new to the school. They have used Chris’ work for a while and I attended this course to get an understanding of their approach. It was incredibly useful and inspiring for this purpose.

This blog explores why a clear oracy framework is essential for learning across all subjects. It explains how classroom talk strategies, such as Because, But, So and Seeking Clues, build both communication skills and disciplinary knowledge in science, geography, and history. The article introduces Tongue Fu Talking™, a structured approach with two strands—Explorer Mode for reasoning and Presenter Mode for confident communication—designed to embed purposeful talk from EYFS to KS3.

In our Complete Guide to Oracy, we outlined how structured talk is essential for learning across all subjects. This article builds on that foundation by examining why oracy is increasingly recognised as vital in education. It draws on findings from parliamentary committees, recent Ofsted reports, and research evidence, all of which highlight a gap in how spoken language is developed and assessed in schools.

This blog introduces Tongue Fu Talking™, a structured oracy framework for EYFS to KS3. It explains why oracy is essential for speaking and listening progression, and how teachers can embed it across the curriculum using two modes of talk: Explorer Mode (for reasoning and discussion) and Presenter Mode (for performance and persuasion). The framework’s 23 teachable oracy skills are organised into four disciplines—The Stance, The Flow, The Mind and The Bond—supported by a clear, motivating belt system. With links to oracy CPD, sentence stems, and classroom resources, this is your complete guide to teaching talk with clarity and confidence.
