SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Nowadays, oral language is widely recognized as an essential foundation for successful school learning. Until recently, the acquisition of oral language skills has been largely overshadowed by reading, writing, spelling and numeracy, and has not been considered a key component of school curricula. Designed to facilitate teaching and assessment, and to equip teachers to hear and see students' speaking and listening skills, ICPALER promotes the use of self-talk and empowers students to become self-teachers of oral language.
Text of Note
Presentation of the current ICPALER model for teachers which is friendly. Teachers are interested in the types of ideas or meanings their students communicate, their ability to learn and to use the conventions of language to achieve this, their students' ability to use language to achieve their social purposes and their capacity to learn language. These aspects comprise the ICPALER model which is the oral language framework created for teachers.
