ELIP English

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Bangs.

The ELIP Foundation programme includes six courses and students must take all courses plus PHE in years 9-11 and some mainstream options.

The ELIP English course is designed for English Language Students with a total ELLP score of less than 4. The course includes the skills in the English Language Learning Progressions.  For more able students, modified units from the Junior English curriculum will be included. Some of the themes for units of work will be integrated with the Social Studies, Science and Mathematics programmes. Students develop basic writing, listening, speaking and reading skills in narrative, description and explanation. These form the basis of the skills set in the NCEA ESOL writing and reading standards, which students will require later.
