Language Acquisition

MYP English B Phases

Phase 3

Phase 3 students understand and respond to simple spoken and written texts. They interact and share information in a limited range of familiar situations, using basic language appropriate to a limited range of contexts.

Phase 4

Phase 4 students understand and respond to a limited variety of spoken and written texts. They engage in conversation and write structured text to express their ideas, opinions and experiences in a range of familiar and some unfamiliar situations.

Phase 6

Phase 6 understand and respond to a variety of spoken and written texts. They engage in conversation and write structured texts in a range of contexts. They can communicate substantial information containing relevant and developed ideas.

 

At NIS we have a couple of students in some MYP grades who have not yet reached the standard of Phase 3, but who are assessed against the criteria for phase 3 and as such are on Veracross as phase 3 students. A list of these students will be distributed to the relevant teachers by the end of the week.
