Language
Oral communication: listening and speaking
Students will use a variety of oral language appropriately and with increasing confidence. They will talk about their own thoughts, feelings and opinions and they will be able to work in groups to discuss their ideas. They will appreciate that listening is important and, in both small- and large- group situations, listen with increasing concentration and consideration. They will be able to pick out main events and relevant points, and they will increase their ability to anticipate and
predict. Students will listen to others carefully and with sensitivity. |
