Fwd: Symposium: Educational talk and dialogic pedagogies - programme available

Symposium at the University of York - 

Educational talk and dialogic pedagogies: from research to impact

Date: Friday 27th March 2020
Time: 9:30-5:00 (registration 9:30-10:00)
Location: Spring Lane Building, University of York, Heslington West Campus

The symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in the topics of classroom interaction, oracy in educational settings and pedagogies that promote the development of oral skills in the classroom and beyond. Research suggests that talk skills of teachers and students make a difference in supporting learner engagement and critical thinking and in raising educational outcomes. And yet, these vital skills tend to be taken for granted by both teachers and students. An emerging field of international research highlights the central role oral skills play in teaching and learning and beyond the classroom.

The symposium will welcome the following distinguished plenary speakers in the field: Dr Maureen Boyd (University at Buffalo), Dr Sara Hennessy (University of Cambridge), Dr Marion Heron (University of Surrey), and Dr Klára Šeďová (Masaryk University, Czech Republic).
