Tips and tricks: Developing oracy in
Puerto Rico
Use as much English as possible in your own classroom
Having a clear language policy in your class is important. This
doesn't mean it has to be 100% in English all the time, but
designate a time and a place where Spanish can be used.
The development of oracy requires copious amounts of access to
English. Teachers therefore need to only use Spanish in strategic
ways
• Instead of using spoken Spanish, yourself, have students in the
class translate for you
Consider bringing in a short text in Spanish and having a class
discussion about it in English or vice versa when the focus is on
reading comprehension
