As the world has rapidly changed, how do we best prepare young people for the future? How do we adapt to the fact that children may now spend more time looking at a screen than engaging in actual conversation? Speechlessunpicks the political, economic and social issues surrounding educationthat pose challenges in schools, colleges and universities, as well as workplaces. These suggest that a different approach to learning, assessing, teaching and trainingis needed to develop relevant experiences that allow all students to achieve their potential. Learners show a huge range of abilities and interests that they must share, with only a broad, varied, flexible curriculumsatisfying their needs. Heeding student voicesand expecting them to pay attention to their teachers and each other is important in building respect for everyone, whatever their background. Sharing knowledge brings awareness of what you know and need to acquire. Speechless, with both facts and humour, makes a passionate case as to why teachers must talk with their students and not just to them.

On average, teachers talk for two-thirds of class time in a monologue style quite different to that which most children experience at home. This book helps teachers to understand their students' difficulties in stepping out of 'home talk' into 'class talk'. Class Talk: - looks at teacher-student communication and reflects on what is happening in the classroom - looks at how students talk in different classroom situations and evaluates this information in terms of planning children's learning - considers the problems of transmitting meaning to others - discusses and reflects on practical strategies to improve the quality of talking, teaching and learning - |ooks at how a teacher's most important tool 'the voice' is used, along with facial expression and gesture, to make the greatest impact on students -considers the development of talk within a society that has moved away from mechanical and manufacturing industry towards jobs in service industries, which entail, on average, 80% speaking and listening and only 20% reading and writing.

This book also includes a handy, comprehensive overview of common learning difficulties and medical conditions in children, with classroom organization tips and contact details for relevant support groups.

A World of Difference: Tackling inclusion in schools

Listening has been neglected in education, in spite of it being the most frequently used skill in learning, because it has traditionally been viewed as a simple mechanical skill rather than a complex cognitive process. This unique and practical book seeks to redress this situation by treating listening as a thinking activity, and developing a step-by-step approach to its improvement, using knowledge about how the brain works. Together with the author's previous book, Class Talk, Lend Us Your Ears aims to provide support for the communicative process in education that is relevant and true to children's lives within their own social settings. Class talk describes how children develop thinking, listening and talk through social interaction. Lend Us Your Ears focuses on the thinking processes that arise out of listening, and emphasizes the importance of integrating verbal with visual information for full comprehension. The two texts, therefore, complement one another, with Class talk focusing on expression while Lend Us Your Ears concentrates on understanding.

UNKNO

This book unpicks how the growing role of technology, particularly tools designed to solve real-world problems, impacts thinking and expression. Mind-bending AI-generated fact, fiction, art and music challenge the boundaries of machine capability and human consciousness. Quantum physics views consciousness as self-observation reliant on language and thinking. Now machines implement life routines, there is a need for better human thinkers and communicators for tackling issues, like climate change and overpopulation. World Thinking Studies show decline in language and thinking, with one-third of adults lacking them for life needs. Technology reduces direct talk - essential for thought. A 2024 Mental State of the Year study finds Britain the world's second most miserable place, only slightly more cheerful than Uzbekistan, showing inability to think through and solve problems. The subjects discussed in this book are processes, for applying technology successfully; practices, to determine how to implement technology support for thinking, communication, and collaboration; performance, in terms of student technology experiences; and predictions, to outline and analyse current technology trends.
