English Language Education is one of the eight Key Learning Areas in the school curriculum. As a Key Learning Area, English Language Education aims to provide primary school learners with a wide range of contexts and learning experiences to:
1. develop their English Language proficiency;
2. enhance their personal and intellectual development;
3. and extend their understanding of other cultures through
the English medium.
The Subject Target of English Language is for learners to develop an ever-improving capability in using English:
1. to think and communicate;
2. to acquire, develop and apply knowledge;
3. to respond and give expression to experience;
and within these contexts, to develop and apply an ever-increasing
understanding of how language is organized, used and learned.
