Spoken Language
Speaking and listening is an important part of developing a child's English skills. Children are encouraged to become fluent speakers and good listeners. In early years there is a focus on 'plan, do and review' where children express what they are going to do, go and do it and then report back what they have done. By being able to talk in sentences children become more able to write in sentences. Children are encouraged to speak whatever language is their home language, as if a child is secure in their home language then they are more likely to acquire a good understanding of English. Spoken language encompasses listening skills; following instructions; participating in discussion; vocabulary and standard English; drama, performance and confidence and speaking for a range of purposes.
