Role of Language Across the Curriculum

Language is central to all forms of learning in school. It is not just a subject to be studied but a
medium used to understand and communicate ideas in every subject. Language Across the
Curriculum focuses on integrating reading, writing, speaking, and listening into all subjects. This
approach helps students improve their overall learning and communication skills, which makes
learning more effective.

Encourages Better Communication

Speaking in discussions and writing assignments builds confidence.

Students learn to present their ideas clearly, which is important in every subject.

Supports Learning in Multilingual Settings

In diverse classrooms, students often learn in more than one language.

Using their home language alongside the school language can improve understanding.

Improves LSRW Skills in All Subjects

Reading improves comprehension, and writing helps students express knowledge effectively.

Even subjects like math require language to explain methods and solve problems.

Acts as a Medium for Socialization

Language helps students socialize within the classroom, and builds teamwork and cooperation.

It develops interpersonal skills (interaction and communication) necessary for collaborative learning.

Facilitates Teacher-Student Interaction

Clear communication between teachers and students ensures instructions and feedback are well
understood.

Ensures Fair Assessments

Language is the basis for formulating tests, assignments, and evaluations.

Prepares Students for Real Life

Communication skills are essential for personal and professional success. Students with adept
language skills are better prepared for the workplace.

Supports Cognitive Development

Thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving rely on linguistic abilities. Students articulate and refine
their thoughts more effectively when language skills are integrated into their learning.

Thus, across the curriculam, language is more than just words; it is what brings learning to life. It
helps students connect with their lessons, their peers, and the world around them.
