 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP?
Foundational Learning
Primary ESL students are at a stage where they are building the foundations of
language proficiency.
Developing language systems ensures a solid base in vocabulary, grammar,
phonology, and reading/writing skills, setting the stage for more advanced
language acquisition.

LANGUAGE Communication Skills

Language systems are the tools that enable effective communication.
SYSTEMS For primary ESL students, developing these systems enhances their ability to
express themselves clearly, understand others, and engage in meaningful
conversations, both in and out of the classroom.

Academic Success
Proficiency in language systems is fundamental for academic success.
As students progress through their education, they will encounter more
complex reading materials and writing tasks.
Strong language systems equip them with the skills needed to comprehend and
articulate ideas effectively.
 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP?
Confidence Building
As students see improvement in their language skills, it boosts their confidence.
The ability to read, understand, and express oneself effectively contributes to a
positive self-image and a willingness to participate in various language-
related activities.

LANGUAGE Culture Competence

Language is deeply connected to culture.

SYSTEMS By developing language systems, primary ESL students not only gain linguistic
proficiency but also cultural competence.
Reading materials can expose them to diverse perspectives and ways of life,
fostering a broader understanding of the world.

Lifelong Learning
Strong language systems provide a solid foundation for lifelong learning.
In a rapidly changing world, individuals with well-developed language skills are
better equipped to adapt to new information, learn new languages, and
continue their educational journey.
