Learning Languages
Through Phase 5 Learning Languages, students build on knowledge and practices developed in earlier phases deepening their understanding of what it means to learn and use a language through engaging with language learning in meaningful and culturally grounded ways. They develop the ability to communicate by building linguistic knowledge, understanding cultural and sociolinguistic contexts, and applying strategies that support language learning. By engaging with a range of spoken, written, visual, and multimodal texts, students explore ideas and perspectives connected to authentic every day, community, and societal contexts.
