DESCRIPTION:What are the spoken language skills that schools should be hel
 ping children to develop? How can teachers monitor and assess these skills
  in the classroom?\n\nWe will report on a project funded by the Educationa
 l Endowment Fund (EEF) in which we developed a toolkit for teachers to use
  in classrooms in England to assess children’s oracy. The aim was to ena
 ble teachers to assess students’ skills in using spoken English\, across
  a range of settings\, as they arrive in secondary school at the age of 11
 \, at the end of the school year and – through Assessment for Learning (
 AfL) tasks – throughout the year.\n\nThe assessment scheme is grounded i
 n a skills framework for oracy which we developed through the project. We 
 trialled the tasks and assessment schemes with a sample of children in thr
 ee schools\, including School 21 in Stratford\, East London\, which was ou
 r principal partner in the project\; we will report on the results of thes
 e trials\, showing skills ratings\, video and interview data. \n\n
