The aim of the English language programme
The English curriculum aims to develop learners who gain the mid level of language skills through the following:
varied tasks which foster analysis, evaluation and creative thinking
exposure to a wide variety of spoken and written sources
stimulating and challenging subject matter.
The English curriculum aims to provide opportunities for learners to communicate effectively with different audiences. It will achieve this aim through frequent opportunities in the school environment for interaction with peers, teachers and visitors, and through interactive tasks which involve informal and formal spoken and written presentations. There will also be a focus on out-of-school interaction with learners communicating online and face-to face with speakers of English from other cultures.
Learners should become innovative, critical and creative thinkers by actively participating in a learning environment which encourages objective analysis of subject matter and language content to support arguments with evidence and examples, to use language imaginatively, and to develop strong ‘learning to learn’ skills. The study of English using the methods described in the English subject programme should enable learners to articulate their ideas with confidence and clarity to different audiences and enable them to reflect on how they can make a positive contribution to Kazakhstani society.
In the primary school years, the content of the programme is aimed at developing learners’ ability to use English in daily exchanges and providing a sound basis for further study. The primary English language programme aims to develop learners’ English language skills, develop learners’ interest and self-confidence, and instil a positive attitude towards learning English.
