ELIP Language Skills

The ELIP Foundation programme has 3 levels:

Foundation 1: Reading, Language Studies, Maths, Science and Social Studies plus PHE and options.
For students with an ELLP score of less than 4

Foundation 2: Reading, English, Language Studies, Social Studies plus core Maths, PHE and options
For students with an ELLP score of 4-6

Foundation 3: Reading and English, and the rest of the programme in non-Foundation classes.
For students with an ELLP score of 7-8

These prpgrammes include 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.
