We have ensured that the development of spoken language is well covered in the new national curriculum: it has its own section in English; its importance in the development of cognition is emphasised in the introduction to each of the primary English, mathematics and science programmes of study; and there is a separate section on literacy, spoken language and vocabulary development in the main framework document to emphasise the importance of developing language in all subjects.
Teaching and assessment of speaking and listening remains a compulsory part of all English and English Language GCSEs.

We will be announcing the outcome of the consultation, including the place of spoken language assessment in the reformed GCSEs, in due course.
