Regional accents and dialects carry cultural and social significance, \n        contributing to the identity and representing the heritage of their speakers. Embracing these linguistic variations in \n        education helps students appreciate the richness of their linguistic backgrounds, countering the harmful effects of \n        standardised language ideologies that often devalue dialect. We therefore look at how local dialect can be integrated \n        into oracy education\u2014teaching about talk, teaching to talk, and teaching through talk. This approach combats socio-educational \n        inequalities by affirming the value of diverse linguistic identities.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h2>Teaching About Talk and Teaching to Talk<\/h2>\n    <p>\n        This intervention is designed to teach children about their language variety, to be implemented alongside whole-school \n        oracy education practices. It has been aligned with the Oracy 21 Framework to ensure coherence with broader goals. \n        The intervention introduces Liverpool English into the curriculum, promoting critical awareness of language variation \n        and its societal attitudes. By doing so, it empowers students to take pride in their speech and regional identity. \n        Research highlights that directly teaching regional dialects alongside standardised English enhances metalinguistic skills, \n        enabling students to navigate diverse contexts with confidence.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h2>Teaching Through Talk<\/h2>\n    <p>\n        Teachers play a pivotal role as role models of language practices. By incorporating activities that celebrate regional speech, \n        educators can challenge entrenched biases and foster a more equitable and dynamic classroom environment. Affirming Liverpool English \n        is not only a step toward valuing diversity but also a powerful means of equipping students with the skills and confidence \n        needed for future academic, professional, and personal success.\n    <\/p>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c40db4c e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c40db4c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-198a3e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"198a3e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Implementation<\/h2>\n<span style=\"color: var(--tp-heading-primary); font-family: var(--tp-ff-heading); text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--bs-body-bg);\">The intervention is structured to be incorporated alongside current English teaching during KS3.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var(--tp-heading-primary); font-family: var(--tp-ff-heading); text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--bs-body-bg);\">The intervention is designed to be taught whole class and is split into three blocks of 8 lessons\u00a0designed to be taught from year 7 to year 9.
