The effective use of language is essential for success in all curriculum areas. One useful way of integrating language is to focus on inter-disciplinary processes in a course such as Speech and Debate. Some of the objectives of this course are the:

-	lifelong application of language skills
-	focus on the interrelatedness of listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing
-	ability to use research skills effectively
-	use of higher level cognitive skills such a analysis and synthesis
-	expansion of language through active involvement in language situations
-	use of language to communicate understandings, ideas and feelings to assist the development of social and personal skills necessary to mediate thought processes.

The overall school program will provide opportunities for students to experience language in functional, artistic and pleasurable activities.
