The teaching, learning process at ISD is seen as a partnership between school, students and parents. Parents will be expected to comply with the school’s request for any and all additional testing required. Failure to comply will place the student’s admission or continued enrollment at risk. 14
Language A The Language A curriculum provides students with the opportunities and resources to develop the language skills they need to pursue their goals in life and to participate in their societies as articulate, literate, informed, reflective, critical and creative members. The MYP areas of interaction are incorporated into unit plans through natural links, enabling students and teachers to gain original, meaningful and insightful perspectives on learning, inquiry and reflection. Philosophy We believe language is essential to most human activities. It is the principal means by which we experience, create and interpret the changing world in which we live. It is the way we think and communicate. We believe language acquisition grows incrementally through a constant and natural interaction of the four modes: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The language curriculum recognizes and respects the varied interests, abilities, needs and diverse cultural backgrounds of our students. It encompasses a progressive course of study which gives insight into structures and functions of the language, emphasizes communication and ultimately encourages students’ development of a critical appreciation of literature. We believe that literature, the written word, is an indispensable tool for the development of language competence. Students should be given opportunities to create and explore language through literature. We want this to stimulate and elicit critical and creative responses from our students which will lead to an understanding and life-long appreciation of literature. Finally, we believe that each student should be challenged through the implementation of a variety of instructional methods and strategies within a positive environment conducive to further learning. It is our conviction that this approach will foster an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for the ideas of others and increase the individual’s awareness of self-identity. The aims of the Grade 6-10 Language A program are: • To encourage students to develop effective listening and speaking skills and to use the language as a vehicle for reflection, learning, selfexpression and creativity • To enable students to read, comprehend, interpret, respond to and appreciate a wide range of texts • To provide opportunities for students to write effectively for a wide variety of audiences and purposes • To enable students to consider the role of literature both culturally and historically • To assist students in comprehending more clearly aspects of their own culture and those of other cultures by exploring the interdependence of human beings through a variety of works • To encourage and enable students to use language as a tool for personal growth, social interaction and for developing relationships within the international community 15
