Language Objectives:
Specifically designed to promote students' language development through all four language domains: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Language objectives are based on content standard + ELP standard/proficiency levels. They inform which language functions and forms the students will learn, and how they will demonstrate their mastery of the lesson through reading, speaking, writing, or listening.

A language function refers to the tasks, purposes and use of language as they engage with content and interact with others. Functions represent the active use of language for a specific purpose. Students use language functions in order to express ideas, communicate with others, and show understanding of content in an academic setting.
The language functions are listed in a range of specificity from those first acquired to the most complex developmentally.
