Dedicated speaking lessons
- Based around immersive tasks that involve information sharing, problemsolving,
and decision making, ‘Time to Speak’ is a lesson dedicated entirely
to developing speaking skills.

confident, motivated, supported, and able to experiment with language.
Evolve helps teachers create a safe speaking environment in which students
have space to develop their speaking skills freely.
