The language curriculum should therefore focus on building vocabulary, syntax, intonation and accent so that the appropriate language styles are picked up both through formal as well as informal learning modes. There will be focus on increasing fluency and proficiency, selection of the appropriate words, and enhanced comfort level in expression. This will help in expression of ideas, thoughts and emotions at freewill which will help in building them into confident individuals.
