Question

Why are listening and speaking part of the Common Core and ELD Standards? Why is this particularly important for our ELD students?

Answer 1

Answer:

Learning and speaking are core elements in ELD Standards. ELD emphasizes the importance of understanding academic and instructional languages necessary for academic success. For a better understanding of language instructions, there should be some form of communication between the learner and the educator. Communication itself entails listening appropriately and speaking accordingly to convey the right message.

Listening and speaking improves the language skills of students. They are also able to express themselves through speech.
