A practical session exploring how broadcast media can enrich secondary English teaching across literature, language and oracy
Join the English Association and ERA for a practical session exploring how broadcast media can enrich secondary English teaching across literature, language and oracy. Delegates will see how high-quality video and audio can support classroom practice, curriculum planning and pupil engagement.
The session will combine a short introduction to ERA Streaming and overview of relevant resources, teacher-led case studies, practical discussion of classroom applications, and time for delegates to explore or create an account. Case studies will be shared by English teachers and curriculum leads with experience of using broadcast media to support KS3 and KS4 teaching.
In this webinar you will:
- Identify opportunities to use broadcast media across the English curriculum.
- Explore approaches for teaching literature, language and oracy through media.
- Hear practical examples from KS3 and KS4 English classroom practice.
- Understand how copyright-cleared resources can support confident teaching.
Before the webinar, please explore:
- As this is intended to be quite a practical session, we would like to share the English Literature and English Language ERA archives: Explore English Literature and English Language resources here.
After the webinar, you’ll receive the recording of the webinar; a list of suggested further reading; and a series of reflection questions/writing prompts to support you in linking the content of the webinar back in to your practice.
