Knowledge and Employability English language arts highlights six language arts—listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing. Students engage all six language arts as they study texts and as they create their own texts in relevant situations for a variety of purposes and audiences. All of the language arts are interrelated and interdependent; proficiency in one strengthens and supports proficiency in the others.
The aim of English language arts is to enable
each student to understand and appreciate
language and to use it confidently and
competently in a variety of situations for
communication, personal satisfaction and
learning purposes.
