Year 10 English Language Learning

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: J. Dalton.

For students learning English as a second language, this course covers:

  • Listening Skills- listening tasks, which provide practice and develop students’ ability to understand the main message of the text and everyday spoken English.
  • Speaking Skills - students have the opportunity to practise pronunciation and intonation of new language. In the practice sections, the exercises lead to free speaking practice such as role plays and discussions. 
  • Reading Skills - Reading texts are relatively short and are carefully graded to allow students to build on their previous knowledge and to increase their confidence. As they progress, texts become longer and more challenging, with students being exposed to increasingly complex language. This encourages them to start deducing meaning from context and enables them to engage with more difficult reading texts. 
  • Writing Skills- Writing is based on real-life topics that are relatable. Students learn to write in different styles for specific purposes. 
  • Grammar- students are tested and given an individualised independent study course to develop further knowledge and the ability to use correct English in their writing. 
  • Vocabulary- Students are expected to work on their vocabulary until they master their essential 3,000 word families.  Each student will have a vocabulary workbook which will be at the appropriate level to study at.  Once they have completed those levels, they will move onto academic English vocabulary.
