This will allow students to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of language use. Interaction  Language learning will be situated in the context of communication (oral and written). Activities that simulate real-life situations of varying language demands (purposes, topics, and audiences) will be employed to help students interact with others thereby improve their socialization skills.  The Conceptual Framework Integration  The areas of language learning – the receptive skills, the productive skills, and grammar and vocabulary will be taught in an integrated way, together with the use of relevant print and non-print resources, to provide multiple perspectives and meaningful connections. Integration may come in different types either implicitly or explicitly (skills, content, theme, topic, and values integration). Learner-Centeredness  Learners are at the center of the teaching-learning process. Teaching will be differentiated according to students’ needs, abilities and interests. Effective pedagogies will be used to engage them and to strengthen their language development.  The Conceptual Framework Contextualization  Learning tasks and activities will be designed for learners to acquire the language in authentic and meaningful contexts of use. For example, lessons will be planned around learning outcomes, a theme, or a type of text to help learners use related language skills, grammatical items/structures and vocabulary appropriately in spoken and written language to suit the purpose, audience, context and culture. Learning points will be reinforced through explicit instruction and related follow-up practice. Construction  Making meaning is the heart of language learning and use. Learning tasks and activities will be designed for learners in such a way that they will have time to reflect on and respond to ideas and information. Learners will be provided with sufficient scaffolding so that they will be able to reach their full cognitive, affective, and psychomotor potentials and become independent learners who are good consumers and constructors of meaning. The Conceptual Framework COMPONENT 2 Effective Language Use DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  THEORIES of LANGUAGE TEACHING THEORIES of LANGUAGE LEARNING and ACQUISITION THEORIES of LANGUAGE  The Conceptual Framework UNDERSTANDING CULTURES  Learning language through text types and literary appreciation exposes learners to different cultures of the world, including one’s culture. UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE  Learners apply their knowledge of the system of the language to assist them to make meaning and to create meaning. PROCESS AND STRATEGIES  Learners select from a repertoire of processes and strategies by reflecting on their understanding of the way language works for a variety of purposes in a range of contexts.  The Conceptual Framework COMPONENT 3 Making Meaning Through Language  G d VIE PON VI KIN ING RE NG ING THINKING RE IN an WI EA EN AD an EW G S SP LIST ING d D MAKING MEANING THROUGH LANGUAGE G TH KIN IN KI IN NG TH WRITING and REPRESENTING THEORIES of LANGUAGE TEACHING THEORIES of LANGUAGE LEARNING and ACQUISITION THEORIES of LANGUAGE  The Conceptual Framework  Language is the major instrument in communication (oral and written) and the heart of which is the exchange of meaning. Language learning should focus on guiding students make meaning through language for different purposes on a range of topics and with a variety of audiences. Students must be able to adapt to various situations where communication demands greatly vary.  The skills, grammatical items, structures and various types of texts will be taught, and revisited at increasing levels of difficulty and sophistication. This design allows students to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of language use.  The Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (LAMC) is composed of five (5) intricately intertwined and integrated sub-strands (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing) that serve as building blocks for understanding and creation of meaning and for effective communication across curricula.  Alignment of the Language and Literacy Domains with the 5 sub-strands Integrated Language Arts Domains LISTENING SPEAKING READING WRITING VIEWING 1.
