Grade 4 - English
Language is a tool for thought and communication. It is also a cultural and aesthetic means commonly shared among a people to make better sense of the world they live in.
The Home Language level provides for language proficiency that reflects the basic interpersonal communication skills required in social situations and the cognitive academic skills essential for learning across the curriculum. The emphasis and the weighting in the Foundation and Intermediate phases is on listening and speaking skills, with a gradual increase in the focus on reading and writing skills as the learners advance in their school careers.
