The ESL/TEFL Programme

An Overview of the ESL Programme

The ESL programme unites the important skills of reading, writing, speaking, speaking and listening. In particular, good oral work enhances pupil’s understanding of language

in both oral and written forms and of the way language can be used to communicate.

It is also an important process, through which pupils read and composed texts, and is relevant to teaching across the whole

curriculum. Skills, especially those that focus on reading and writing non-fiction texts, should be closely linked to and applied in

every subject.

ESL students should:

- Read and write with confidence, fluency and understanding;

- Understand the sound and spelling system and use this to read and spell accurately.

- Have fluent and legible handwriting;

- Have an interest in words and their meanings and a growing vocabulary.
