##### Voice 21 Toolkit

### The Oracy Framework

The Oracy Framework, devised by Voice 21 and Oracy Cambridge, provides a structure through which we can understand what constitutes good speaking and listening in different contexts. It breaks down the skills within oracy into four distinct but interlinked strands: physical, linguistic, cognitive and social & emotional.

Designed as a tool to support the explicit teaching of oracy, the Oracy Framework can support you to:

- Develop a shared language for talk in your classroom
- Set clear expectations for talk 
- Diagnose your students' oracy skills and plan for explicit oracy teaching
