Oral Language
"Knowing a language means following the rules of pronunciation and grammar and understanding the meaning of words and phrases in different contexts. Students must have this knowledge to be successful readers and writers, especially in the later grades. English language learners require time and support to develop the English-language abilities that are important for literacy."
