National Curriculum KS4: Grammar and Vocabulary

Pupils should be taught to:

• consolidate and build on their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary through:
  • studying their effectiveness and impact in the texts they read
  • drawing on new vocabulary and grammatical constructions from their reading and listening, and using these consciously in their writing and speech to achieve particular effects
  • analysing some of the differences between spoken and written language, including differences associated with formal and informal registers, and between Standard English and other varieties of English
  • using linguistic and literary terminology accurately and confidently in discussing reading, writing and spoken language.
