Knowledge and Skills

  • Students will improve oral and written skills, experiencing a wide range of learning styles from specialist teachers and develop their ability to read for different purposes - for information, research, cultural study or personal enjoyment.
  • Writing for different audiences.
  • Speaking and listening - in a range of situations and for different audiences, clearly and articulately.
  • There is scope for students' personal growth as learners, through active participation in class lessons and homework.
  • All students are encouraged to express personal and informed opinions through discussion, role-play and improvisation. The importance of improving writing skills for different purposes and audiences is encouraged, as is the need for accuracy in spelling, punctuation, grammar and paragraphing in our comprehensive Schemes of Work.
