  • Implementing the programme as a primary educational resource in your school
  • There are ten projects in each of the four student workbooks, with an additional two projects in Irish to allow students to practice these skills during Irish lessons.
  • The books follow a sequence, where students are introduced to three skills in workbook A, adding three more skills as they move on to the next workbook and finishing up with having the twelve public speaking skills in the final workbook, D.
  • The programme is designed to be flexible, so if a school decides to pick up the programme in any class, they can easily revisit the skills taught in previous workbooks using the teacher manual and online programme resources.
  • Teachers may choose to take a topic a month and integrate it across other curricular areas where improved listening skills, competent speaking skills and/or oracy skills may be of additional benefit.
  • Student choice is a key feature, where students may choose a topic or decide how long they wish to speak for.
