english for lower secondary level

From grades 3 through 12, English is a required subject in the general education curriculum. As one of the most important subjects in school, English not only helps students form and develop their communicative competence in English, but it also helps them form and develop general competences that will help them live and work more effectively, learn other subjects more effectively, and learn for the rest of their lives.
The major goal of the English language curriculum for general education students is to enable them to formulate and enhance their communication abilities through practising listening, speaking, reading, writing, and linguistic knowledge. Communicative competencies and linguistic knowledge are constructed on the foundation of particular communicative competence units, which are organised around themes and subjects that are relevant to students’ needs and abilities.
