English

In English, students develop knowledge, skills and understanding about English language and literature and the ability to talk, listen, read, view and write with purpose, effect and confidence. They develop knowledge of the ways in which language varies according to context and a sound grasp of language structures, spelling and grammar.

The three broad strands of English are:

  • Talking and Listening
  • Reading
  • Writing
The aim is to develop student's competence in using language and to encourage positive attitudes towards learning language and to develop critical reflection on how language works.

Our objective is to develop the values and attitudes of:

  • An enjoyment of language and confidence and independence as language users and learners.
  • An interest in how language works as this will provide a foundation for their own developing skills in using both spoken and written language.
  • A love of language and enjoyment of, and wonder at, its variety of rich possibilities.
