Hello to all,

I need the help of any teachers, please.

Could somebody tell me how English is taught in schools today. I believe that the curriculum (with regard to English that is) is currently made up of English, Literacy and Language; am I correct. And if so, which of the above areas is given the most priority, i.e. the area to which most lesson time is devoted to for the purpose of reaching government-set targets?
Any help will be most welcome.
Kind regards,
Amanda.
P.S. this is a matter of some urgency, so please, please could you reply ASAP.

Sorry ...only Bell's or Grouse.
You're correct - it's Language & Literature. English language is the important one where targets are concerned
Which age groups are you asking about- Key stage 1, 2 3 or 4?
Have a look at the Standards site. http://www.parentscentre.gov.uk/educationandle arning/whatchildrenlearn/curriculumandassessme nt/
English language and literature are taught together and as individual subjects. Students typically do both subjects double award. In gov target settings the target of 5+ A*-C can include either or both.
i'm doing gcse's at the moment.
all our work ends in a bit of coursework plus we learn skills we need in exams so we learn lang. and lit. in proportion to the coursework + a few extra lessons on exam skills.
