Of course we would always start from the positive, but I'm also wondering if anyone has advice to offer on how to encourage the development of a self-critical vocabulary, so that there is something more useful to work on than "That was rubbish!", about their own efforts.

Or should we grab the bull by the horns and give out a list of possible things to listen for - pitch, pace, control of narrative, enunciation etc.?
