A one-day conference on identifying and assessing children's spoken language skills
Psychology of Education Academic Group, Faculty of Education

It is becoming widely recognised that schools should help children develop the ability to use spoken language effectively across a range of social settings. However, there has been a lack of clarity about the key skills involved and how they can best be assessed.

This conference will provide a forum for discussing oracy and its assessment, drawing on a range of expertise.
