Being literate means having the skills to be able

to read, write and speak to understand and

create meaning. While becoming literate is a
central aim of English in secondary schools, the
subject English and literacy are not the same.
The students are interested in meaning making
through a study of language and texts. They
like to recite and cooperate every time teacher
Jake ask questions. It allows them to form
connections, influence decisions and motivate
challenge.  Without communication skills, the
ability to progress in the working world and in
life, itself, would be nearly impossible.
