Language is fundamental to learning and permeates the entire Primary Years Programme (PYP).
By learning language as well as learning about and through language, we nurture an appreciation of the richness of language and a love of literature.
The language scope and sequence framework identifies the major expectations considered essential in the PYP.
These expectations are arranged into three main strands: oral communication, written communication and visual communication.
These communication strands are organized into sub-strands. These include listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and presenting.
Each of the sub-strands is addressed separately, although in practice they are interactive and interrelated elements of the programme.
