Workshops in School

​Speakably's workshops offer a powerful, hands-on approach to improving the teaching of Phonics to children and overall spoken communication in the workplace.

​

Speakably delivers on-site, confidence-building workshops for LSS / EAL staff in international schools, with a clear focus on phonics, spoken English, and confident classroom delivery.

​​​

Why Speakably?​

Many LSS staff are highly skilled and deeply committed, yet still feel:

• Unsure explaining how English sounds work

• Inconsistent in phonics terminology or delivery

• Less confident modelling spoken English with clarity and expression

​​

Speakably supports staff to:

• Teach phonics with confidence and consistency

• Understand and explain sound–spelling relationships clearly

• Model natural spoken English with ease

• Feel reassured, supported, and professionally confident

• Enhance working relationships and camaraderie

​​

This is about building confidence at the source — because confident staff create confident learners.

​

How the Workshops Work

Speakably workshops are delivered in situ at your school and typically take place over 1 to 5 days, depending on your needs.

​

Each visit may include:

• Structured phonics and spoken-English workshops

• Lesson shadowing and gentle observation

• Individual 1:1 support for staff

• Small-group discussions and problem-solving

• Practical advice staff can use immediately
