Join us as we explore the pivotal role of oral language in early childhood education and its impact on academic success. Research unequivocally shows that oral language is the foundation of all learning. In international education, where students must master English fluency and access English-based curricula in non-native environments, strong oral language skills are even more critical.

This session will examine the link between oral language acquisition and academic achievement, highlighting the effects of delayed language development on educational outcomes and well-being. We’ll provide practical strategies for language enrichment and intervention, drawing on rigorous research from the UK and beyond, to help educators, parents, and stakeholders support children’s lifelong learning and success.
