What is English about?

 Ko te reo te tuakiri
Ko te reo tōku ahurei
Ko te reo te ora.

English is the study, use, and enjoyment of the English language and its literature, communicated in writing, orally, and visually, for a range of purposes and audiences and in a variety of text forms. Understanding, using, and creating written, oral, and visual texts of increasing complexity is at the heart of English teaching and learning. By engaging with text-based activities, ākonga become increasingly skilled and sophisticated writers and readers, speakers and listeners, presenters and viewers.
