| The English teacher understands
the use of communication tools for generating ideas, extending thinking, making
sense of the world, and achieving personal goals, and fosters this understanding
in students through meaningful expressive activities. The English teacher recognizes
the importance of the desire to communicate feelings and ideas, uses this desire
as a motivating force for students, and encourages students to identify themselves
as effective communicators. The teacher guides students to select appropriate
communication forms and strategies (e.g., interviewing, using visual aids);
designs instruction that helps students focus on the thinking, composing, and
communicating processes; and enables students to understand their world and
take action in it by exploring their interests, conveying their opinions, and
expressing their feelings. |

| The English teacher understands
the processes of oral communication, recognizes the crucial role of oral expression
in students' lives and learning, and promotes oral communication skills appropriate
for a variety of purposes and situations. The teacher recognizes the interaction
of verbal and nonverbal message systems in oral discourse and in such electronic
media as television and film; conveys the elements of public speaking and debate
(e.g., the construction and refutation of logical arguments); and guides students
to use speech effectively for self-expression. Using the classroom as a laboratory,
the teacher provides authentic experiences in the use of oral language and encourages
students to use oral modes of communication to support and extend written expression
(e.g., reading works-in-progress aloud, critiquing written texts, performing
dramatic presentations). |

of ideas, and uses the forms and conventions of English to produce effective
written communication. |

the forms and conventions of usage to the purposes of communication; and helps
students work individually and collaboratively to identify their communicative
goals, generate and organize ideas, compose drafts, and revise and edit their
writing. |

modes for different audiences and occasions. The English teacher helps students

discourse and guides students to write for a variety of aims/purposes in different
modes (e.g., narration, description, classification, evaluation). The teacher
encourages student experimentation with diverse forms of written expression,
fosters students' understanding of the relationship between form and content
in writing, and provides students with frequent opportunities to write for real
audiences.  |
