  10. Key Points in English/Language Arts for Speaking and Listening • Students gain, evaluate, and present increasingly complex information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through media. • Students will participate in academic discussion in one-on-one, small-group, and whole-class settings. • Students will collaborate to answer questions, build understanding, and solve problems through formal presentations and more informal discussion.
