Goal 4. Writing

The learner will communicate in appropriate written English in a variety of personal, social, and academic contexts.

Level: Intermediate High

Students will begin to use expanded vocabulary to participate effectively in social and academic conversations and presentations with occasional difficulty. They may continue to use forms of non-verbal communication to demonstrate comprehension, but will rely more upon verbal skills. Learning objectives focus on sequencing, distinguishing long and short vowels and self-correcting them, retelling stories and grade-level text with richer vocabulary and adjectives, making predictions, incorporating grammatical rules, writing all letters of the alphabet, writing simple sentences and editing them, reading aloud with fluency, following one-step and two-step directions, and comprehending English spoken at a normal speed.
