What is this about and what were the main findings:
A Drama teacher and a Music teacher along with some student volunteers were recruited to record fiction extracts from previous GCSE papers - and some non-ficiton articles. The audios were then used during English lessons. The project reported that this approach had enhanced English teaching methodology, and had had a proven impact on student reading ages.
