Proud to have been part of this with amazing colleagues, especially the committed and tenacious @GiseTome! Thanks for all of your work Gise

Great that Oracy Education Commission reported prelim findings at the Labour party conf today. They publish their full report in a fortnight, but in the meantime, check out the think pieces they commissioned in this volume (inc. one from me on 'What do teachers need to learn about oracy?')

when i pick my 4 year old up from reception today, i'm going to test him on his knowledge and usage of the following tier two vocabulary: chinos, dungarees, and culottes. i don't know what culottes are though, so i won't know if he got it right or not. maybe Ofsted can help?

This report highlights the importance of training teachers to equip them with the knowledge and skills to deliver good quality oracy education🗣️ We are delighted to have Professor Julia Snell (Prof Julia Snell) joining our Primary English Conference to talk about how dialogic

See I want to talk to every child each lesson because I want to know what they think and want them to feel included in the dialogue, to show them how to engage with others in a discussion- yes to see if they ‘got’ something but moreso the other stuff.

if you are an early career academic and interested in bidding for a project which has language, education, and social in/justice as a core theme, then i would be happy to offer some support and advice with this funding scheme!

My lovely UG student is investigating differences between GCSE & A-level English Lang curriculums & reasons for the decrease in students studying Eng Lang A-level. If you teach A Level students (of any subject) could you ask them to complete this survey? shorturl.at/ghgXI

Havent posted here for ages (not since Uni of Leeds withdrew) but I see that people I like & respect still post regularly & I feel I'm missing out. How do others manage to straddle X & other platforms (like Bluesky)? Do you double post (and double react to) everything? Advice?

New blog with Gise Tomé Lourido published by the Higher Education Policy Institute. 💡We encourage Higher Education senior leaders to take proactive steps to tackle accent bias to foster a more inclusive and equitable Higher Education system.

It was a privilege to be at the inaugural lecture of my colleague Prof Christiana Gregoriou this evening, which included a theatrical adaptation of the memoirs of a Greek Cypriot sergeant in the British Army during WWII. Fantastic stuff 👏 👏 👏

A huge honour to share this prize with my co-authors!
