Listening – Speaking

Students use English to communicate with teachers, peers and others in a range of settings and for a range of purposes. They use and respond to questions and use strategies to initiate and sustain conversations and discussion. They understand and identify the main ideas and relevant details in oral texts of discussions or presentations on youth-related topics. They use English to express opinions on youth-related issues and to discuss youth-related interests. They give opinions and make comparisons. They begin to use nonverbal elements (gestures, speed and/or pitch) to strengthen/support the message/information being conveyed.
