ENGLISH
English is about the making and creating of meaning. Learning English encompasses learning the language, learning through the language, and learning about the language using a variety of text types. It is also the pathway to a variety of career options. The ability to communicate clearly in a variety of ways plus to think critically are important skills if students are to be successful in whatever path they follow upon leaving school.
Understanding, using, and creating oral, written, and visual texts of increasing complexity is at the heart of English teaching and learning. By engaging with text-based activities, students become increasingly skilled and sophisticated speakers and listeners, writers and readers, presenters and viewers.
