The language program provides students the opportunity
to develop their skills in listening, speaking, reading,
writing, grammar, and spelling. As students interact
with each other, they are listening and responding appropriately.
Ideas are expressed in thoughtful, organized manners
of speaking and writing. Written communication allows
students to express their thoughts and ideas in a variety
of ways, for a variety of purposes. The correct use
of standard English in written pieces is modeled, practiced
and mastered.
