English

Language is central to everyday life and plays a vital role in enabling people to find fulfilment in work, in personal relationships, in creative pursuits and in learning. A major aim of our Academy programme is to promote language competence; that is, the ability to use language effectively, accurately and creatively with a wide range of audiences and for a wide range of purposes. This is achieved by providing students with opportunities to think, speak, listen, read and write about significant areas of interest and concern, for real purposes, which are important to them and others.
