Apply, with guidance, language learning strategies such as:

  • using supplementary information (e.g., summary, illustrations and background information);
  • interpreting physical (e.g., gestures and facial expressions) and auditory (e.g., laughter, volume and tone) cues;
  • examining context clues and key words;
  • understanding of individual words to predict meaning of compound words; and,
