Final thoughts ESB is keen to ensure that your experience of teaching ESB is enjoyable and rewarding. Our aim is to recognise and fulfil the potential of all students as we fully recognise the important role of Oracy in the development of life skills.

Our final thoughts to successfully teaching these qualifications are:

 Ensure that students genuinely enjoy the topic of their talk and choice for Speaking by Heart.  Encourage students to voice their own opinion as much as possible. ESB encourages talks that are rich in individuality and personal involvement.  Ensure that the words of poetry and drama choices are totally secure. Once the words are secure, the piece can be layered in a fun way through experimentation with tone, pitch, pace, pause and power.  Book extracts must contain dialogue, opportunities for vocal variety, and should be from an interesting part of the story.
