We learn when we use what we know to understand what is new. Start with what
the students know; use that to introduce
new concepts. They use language to examine new experiences and knowledge in
relation to their prior knowledge, experiences, and beliefs. They make
connections, anticipate possibilities, reflect upon ideas, and determine courses of
action.
Learners learn about language and how to use it effectively through their
engagement with and study of texts. The term ‘text’ refers to any form
of written (reading and writing), oral (listening and speaking) and visual
communication involving language4
. The texts through which students learn about
language are wide-ranging and varied, from brief conversations to lengthy and
complex forms of writing. The study of specific texts is the means by which
learners achieve the desired outcomes of language, rather than an end in itself.
Learners learn to create texts of their own and to engage with texts produced
by other people.
Successful language learning involves viewing, listening, speaking, reading and
writing activities5
. Language learning should include a plethora of
strategies and activities that helps students focus on both MEANING and
ACCURACY.
Language learning involves recognizing, accepting, valuing and building on
students’ existing language competence, including the use of
non-standard forms of the language, and extending the range of language
available to students. Through language learning, learners develop
functional and critical literacy skills. They learn to control and understand the
conventions of the target language that are valued and rewarded by society and
to
reflect on and critically analyze their own use of language and the language of
others.
An effective language arts and multiliteracies curriculum satisfies the following
principles6
.
1. develops thinking and language through interactive learning;
2. develops communicative competence and critical literacy;
3. draws on literature in order to develop students’ understanding of their literary
heritage;
4. draws on informational texts and multimedia in order to build academic
vocabulary and strong content knowledge;
5. develops students’ oral language and literacy through appropriately challenging
learning;
6. emphasizes writing arguments, explanatory/informative texts and narratives;
7. provides explicit skill instruction in reading and writing;
8. builds on the language, experiences, knowledge and interests that students
bring to school;
9. nurtures students’ sense of their common ground in using language/s for
communication as present or future global citizens to prepare them to participate
in
school and in civic life, and;
10. assesses and reflects the students’ ability to interpret and/or communicate in
the target language7
ACTIVITY ASSESS:

listening.

HARNESS:

I learned that about language and how to use it effectively through their
engagement with and study of texts. The term ‘text’ refers to any form
of written (reading and writing), oral (listening and speaking) and visual
communication involving language.

I realized that Language learning involves recognizing, accepting, valuing and

building on students’ existing language competence, including the use of
non-standard forms of the language, and extending the range of language
available to students. Through language learning, learners develop
functional and critical literacy skills.

I think there is a need to study English because it really a big help for us.
