Talking ScienceClosing the gap

Why literacy skills are important in science

bull Many KS4 exams require extended writing outcomes

bull New specifications from Sep 2011 will have a greater emphasis on extended writing

bull KS5 and certainly university requires good written literacy to communicate clearly

bull Good thinking is closely connected to good literacybull BTEC course requires pupils to produce numerous

pieces of written work

In this session we willbull Introduce exploratory talk as a mechanism to

develop literacy skills in sciencebull Consider how to help pupils to verbally

present their ideasbull Introduce resources to help pupils develop

extended writing bull Work in school groups to consider how to

implement ideas and resources into lessons

By the end of the session you will

bull Be familiar with a number of resources and activities to help pupils with exploratory talk and extended writing

bull Have produced a draft plan for collaborative follow up work in school

Low level of vocabulary is the prime cause of academic

failure

Becker 1977

59 of waking time is spent by 4 year olds in disadvantaged

areas not talking at all

Seven year olds in the upper quartile have a

vocabulary of 7100 words

Seven year olds in the lower quartile have a vocabulary of

3000 words

Only 176 of the nearly 30000 pupils who achieved 3 As at A level in 2007 were eligible for

free school meals

What is Academic Languagebull Vocabulary knowledgeBreadth knowing the meanings of many words including

multiple words for the same or related conceptsDepth knowing multiple meanings both common and

uncommon for a given wordbull Understanding complex sentence structures and syntaxbull Using written vocabulary as distinct from oral vocabularybull Understanding the structure of argument academic

And the answer of course is C (as most of us will also bring our mathematical knowledge to bear and recognise that to put in order usually means to put in increasing order)

So whose responsibility is it

Literacy is or ought to be a shared responsibility It is important because it

enables pupils to gain access to the subjects studied in school to read for

information and pleasure and to communicate effectively

By rehearsing the use of language through the use of talk students develop their thinking and better

thinking leads to better writing

Developing thinking and literacy skills

The explicit teaching of language and literacy stretches pupilsrsquo thinking skills so that they can write more clearly deeply and widely
