Language learning is a complex process.
It involves an interplay of oracy and literacy skills, i.e. listening, speaking, reading and writing. Therefore an intergrated and interactive approach must be used in language teaching. The cross-curricula approach of the syllabus will further help in language development.

Personal development and inter-personal skills are further reinforced.
