This unit builds on the extensive spoken language practice pupils have in our primary English curriculum. In particular, it builds on their understanding of speaking and listening by showing them how they can contribute to conversations effectively to keep them going. This unit's spoken language content underpins all future units, but in particular it prepares pupils for the unit 'participating in effective debates'.
