Language & Literacy

Literacy is the ability to read and use written information and to write appropriately and legibly, taking account of different purposes, contexts, conventions and audiences.  It involves the development of:

a). an integrated approach to the acquisition of talking,  listening, reading and writing skills across the curriculum;

knowledge that allows a speaker, writer and reader to use language appropriate to different social situations;

formal and informal language across all areas of social interaction; and

the ability to read, understand and use information in multiple formats and platforms, including traditional print and on-screen material.
