ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
Subject Overview
Language is the basis for thinking, communicating and learning. Students
need language skills in order to comprehend ideas and information, to interact
socially, to inquire into areas of interest and study and to express themselves
clearly and demonstrate their learning.
Language skills are developed across the framework and cumulatively,
through the grades. As the students move through the grades, they are
required to use language with even greater accuracy and fluency in an ever-
expanding range of situations. They are expected to assume responsibility for
their own learning and to apply their language skills in more challenging and
complex ways.
Our school’s framework identifies the expectations for each grade and
describes the knowledge and skills that students are expected to acquire,
demonstrate and apply in their class work, homework, tests, exams, and in
various other activities on which their achievement is assessed and evaluated.
The framework document has been designed specifically for teachers and
students in the international context. This framework should facilitate the
development of courses that are stimulating both for the students and the
teachers. The knowledge and skills developed should ensure a smooth
transition from primary to secondary schooling.
Main strands of the program offered are:
* Reading
* Comprehension
* Spelling
* Grammar
* Vocabulary
* Writing
The following are the main topics which will be covered in grade 3.
READING
The school’s framework focuses on developing the knowledge and skills that will
enable students to become effective readers. The reader must be able to think
clearly, creatively and critically about the ideas and information encountered in
texts in order to understand, analyze and absorb them and to recognize their
relevance in other contexts. The reading program includes a wide variety of
literary, informational and graphic texts.
