"The WJEC views Talking Dice
as an innovative initiative that will assist in
stimulating a range of students in variety of
subjects that have oral requirements. Talking Dice
will be of benefit in language subjects,
particularly at entry level."
Sophie Cunningham - Primary
Teacher

"I cannot
praise Talking Dice enough! They are a 'must have'
for all teachers, as they give children the
opportunities to have fun whilst learning. The
dice are big, bright and colourful, and
immediately capture the interest of the pupils,
which is imperative when teaching."
Brendan Culligan - Head of
English
Froebel College of
Education
"Every so often, simple but
great teaching ideas are created. Talking Dice is
one such powerful teaching aid that should be in
all our schools."
Bryson Wood - Head of Modern
Languages
St. Christopher's School - Kingdom of
Bahrain
"Talking Dice are quite a
revolutionary idea, and have provided fun,
spontaneity, competition and plenty of volume to
my teaching. The vast rage of complexity levels,
to say nothing of the number of permutations,
never ceases to amaze me."
I.C.Maun MA MPhil -
Lecturer
University of
Exeter
"Simple in conception, yet
almost infinitely versatile in their application,
Talking Dice enables learners to acquire any
language in a variety of ways, and to practise it
in a context that makes learning interesting,
efficient, and fun. From simple naming of objects
to the construction of sentences, dialogues, and
dramas, Talking Dice take the learner through a
progressive set of exercises and activities, which
teach and reinforce language."
Nigel Norman - P.G.C.E. Modern Foreign
Language Tutors
University of Wales,
Swansea
"Talking Dice are suitable for
all language learners of all abilities, from young
children acquiring their mother tongue, to pupils
learning a second language, to PGCE modern
language students improving their subject
knowledge, to adult learners. No adaptation is
required for them to be used for any language, and
they can genuinely increase spontaneous speech and
learner confidence. This is truly an ingenious
idea. Practising grammar has now become a
fun exercise! "
Mrs Almut Stanley
IATEFL
"The dice are fabulous, particularly
as they can be used for any language. I teach both
ESOL and German, and I'm always glad when
resources can be multi-functional."
Theresa Newlands - Language Teacher -
SEN
The Cedar School for the Physically
Handicapped
"I use Talking Dice in my
French lessons with pupils who have moderate or
severe learning difficulties. The visual, tactile
and kinaestehic aspects of Talking Dice all aid
their understanding, memory, and speaking skills.
I ordered the dice one afternoon, and they were in
school the next day - brilliant service, or what?" |
