Language is fundamental to learning, thinking and communicating; therefore it permeates the whole curriculum. Indeed, all teachers are language teachers, continually expanding the boundaries of what students are thinking about. Mastery of one or more languages enables each student to achieve their full linguistic potential.
Students need to develop an appreciation of the nature of language and literature, of the many influences
on language and literature, and of its power and beauty. They will be encouraged to recognize that
proficiency in language is a powerful tool for communication in all societies. Furthermore, language and
literature incorporates creative processes and encourages the development of imagination and creativity
through self-expression
