Expressive and receptive communication
Where students with SEN use alternative forms of communication, such as sign, rather than oral language, it is often more appropriate to use the terms ‘expressive and receptive communication’ rather than ‘speaking and listening’

Role of language and communication
The development of language and communication is fundamental to written literacy and behavioural, emotional and social development
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice

Why teachers need to know about language development
− To understand the stage students have reached in their learning
− To plan the next steps in their learning− To identify the barriers to learning that students
with atypical language development may face
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice
8
Learning outcomes
You will:− know the three elements of communication− understand their importance for removing barriers for
students with SLCN
Activity 2

Elements of communication
− Form grammar
− Content vocabulary
− Use pragmatics − knowing how to use language, for example the rules of conversation, such as taking turns
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice
10
Stages of development
− Research has established patterns of development for each of the three elements
− They are generally hierarchical, ie you need to have reached one point in development to be able to move on to another
− The three elements work together to allow a student to be a successful communicator
− Students move through developmental stages in many different ways

11
About P scales
− P scales are best-fit performance descriptions used to assess students who have not yet reached national curriculum levels
− There are eight P levels before national curriculum level 1
− P scales are not a curriculum− P scales support target setting in schools− They are not developmental patterns as such, but use
the knowledge we have about development to set out levelled performance criteria

P7 listening (receptive communication)
− Students listen, attend to and follow stories for short stretches of time
− They follow requests and instructions with four key words, signs or symbols − for example, “Get the big book about dinosaurs from the library”
− They attend to, and respond to, questions from adults and their peers about experiences, events and stories − for example, “Where has the boy gone?”
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice
13
Possible answers
− Form/Grammar− follow requests… with four key words− understand the question form in “Where has
the boy gone?”
− Content/Vocabulary− “Get” “big” “book” “from” or “library”− “Where has the boy gone?”

Language in context
Language does not occur in a vacuum but:− develops in a social-cultural context− is influenced by the cognitive skills students bring
with them− develops gradually− develops at varying rates
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice
17
Language in context (continued…)
Language development is an interaction between the environment and the child’s cognitive skills
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice

Three areas
− Responding to speech errors− Choosing the right questions− Praising appropriately

Scenario
− A year 7 class went to the local castle yesterday− The trip was a great success− Students appreciated the guide dressed as one of Cromwell’s
soldiers, with his armour, helmet and large sword− They were impressed by the dungeon with its rusty rings on the
walls and narrow grating through which the prisoners could see the outside world
− They had their sandwiches on the grass by the two black cannons that pointed out over the valley
− Imagine the teacher is taking the students through the experiences, using discussion

Learning outcomes

Activity 5
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice

Learning outcomes (continued…)
You will be able to:− distinguish between types of narrative− identify key features of narrative in children's talk− use strategies to encourage storytelling skills in

Thinking about the concepts
− Ability to narrate is strongly associated with academic achievement, reading, writing and socialisation
− Narratives are the broad category of talk within which stories nestle
− All stories are narratives; but not all narratives are stories
Session 9Speech, language and communicationAreas of need set out in the SEN Code of Practice
32
Narrative definitions
Narrative has been defined as:− a chronological recapitulation of successive events− mental schemes that represent a logical sequence
of purposeful episodes that are temporally and causally connected
− an organiser of human experience − our thoughts of the world take the shape of stories that are told and retold
− discourse that enables us to make sense of our experience, making the past present

Learning outcomes
