What you'll study in Middle School English

The Pearson English syllabus covers 6 topics. Your teacher works through them with you one-to-one, at a pace that matches how quickly you pick each one up.

In English, learners:

  • become confident communicators, able to apply their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills effectively in everyday situations and in studying a range of subjects
  • see themselves as readers, engaging with a range of texts for information and for pleasure, including texts from different times and cultures
  • see themselves as writers, using the written word clearly and creatively for a range of different audiences and purposes
  • develop speaking and listening skills for effective presentation and collaboration, sharing and responding to ideas to achieve a shared understanding or goal
  • develop a broad vocabulary and an understanding of how to apply grammar and linguistic conventions appropriately
  • develop skills to evaluate spoken and written texts, making decisions about how convincingly they represent different values and opinions.
