Speaking and Listening

ICT provides children with the opportunity to use certain technologies that provides them with what can be argued as a more enjoyable way of learning. For example the use of ordinary talk does not give children the chance to remember and refer back to, so with recording devices children can record conversations and use it for various activities and different days.

Devices such as Mp3s or Mp4s enable children to listen on the move and can as a result provide a more practical lesson witch might have been restricted to four walls previously.








Talking Photo Albums:
Personally I found these rally exciting!! They support speaking and listening skills on the literacy framework by focusing on:
  • photo sequences
  • presentations
  • hiding and revealing pictures
  • word recognition
This is can be really useful in a Primary classroom, especially if you are working SEND or EAL children who may find it hard to access the curriculum with verbal o written instructions. The Talking Photo album can also be really good for use in Science - children are able to take pictures of an investigation at each stage and then provide explanations using speech over the pictures.
