These presentations reflect a long-standing preocupation with teaching speaking in the foreign languages classroom. Several developments in recent years have put a spotlight on speaking, including the Ofsted report 'The changing landscape', the new secondary curriculum, the renewed framework and the new GCSE exam. Most recently, I have been involved in a Linked Up project, Talking to Learn, which focused on generating more learner talk in the classroom, both planned and unplanned, or spontaneous. The many resources resulting from the project, which involved 7 secondary schools in the Eastern region, are downloable from the project wikis (see the Links section of this website). Spontaneous talk in the languages classroom is also the subject of my Phd, which is almost finished!
