Introduction to language objectives
By teaching subject content through an additional language, NIS aims to build a school environment that supports the learning of both subject content and language. Each subject has its own register of language that can be referred to as the ‘academic language’ of that subject. Academic language is a key tool used for learning subject content and for improving the capacity to think about and work with subject content concepts. Most learners learning through an additional language require support throughout their education to become proficient users (of second or third language) academic language, and to become proficient learners of subject content through an additional language. In a trilingual education context, the development of first language academic language also requires systematic attention to ensure that the reduced time allotted to learning through the first language is used effectively and efficiently.
Language objectives are an important tool used in planning for and managing the learning of academic language. Clear and concise language objectives explain to learners what is expected of them. In addition, language objectives help teachers and learners to build, to measure and to maintain the motivation to learn. Subject teachers who maintain a consistent, dual focus on subject content and academic language learning help learners to do the same and to better manage the learning of both.
In order to support the learning of academic language, it is suggested that teachers systematically incorporate the following teaching objectives into lesson plans:
• making visible and drawing learners’ attention to academic language (e.g. vocabulary including terminology and sets of phrases required to achieve the subject learning objectives)
• providing learners with the classroom language needed for working with subject content concepts (e.g. phrases required for doing group work, posing inquiry questions, analysing a situation and conducting discussions/debates)
• pre-teaching and above all pre-using in a meaningful context vocabulary including terminology and sets of phrases required to master the use of content concepts
• having learners use all four language skills in a variety of combinations (e.g. reading-listening, reading-writing, reading-speaking, listening-writing, etc.) for a variety of meaningful purposes
• having learners engage in exploratory dialogue (e.g. avoiding answers to questions that simply demonstrate knowledge and instead using knowledge for sustained discussion, and providing rich language scaffolding so learners can sustain dialogue)
• teaching learning skills specific to language (e.g. selective listening, asking for clarification, developing metalinguistic and metacognitive awareness, paraphrasing, dictionary skills)
• encouraging critical thinking about language (e.g. comparing languages, prompting students to use language more precisely, assessing progress in learning language)
• setting a language objective at the start of a lesson and discussing progress made in achieving it at the end of a lesson.
A sample language objective for a subject learning objective is provided in each course plan unit. The sample language objective also includes some of the academic language that learners need support in noticing, using and learning. This language is shown under the headings: (1) subject-specific vocabulary and terminology, (2) useful set(s) of phrases for dialogue/writing. Making this language clear to learners will help them to achieve both the subject content and language learning objectives.
Other language objectives can be created using, for example, the following words: analyse, categorise, choose, classify, compare, connect, contrast, copy, create, critique, define, describe, elaborate, evaluate, explain why, give examples, hypothesise, identify, justify, negotiate, predict, produce, propose alternative solutions, provide reasons why, redefine, reorganise, rephrase, retell, revise, rewrite, role-play, summarise, synthesise and write, use for different purposes, write in own words a definition of...and illustrate this.
Even though some of the language objectives could also be considered subject content objectives, the act of separating out content and language will help students to maintain a dual focus on both content and language. It will also help counterbalance the attention given to answers/solutions versus processes used to find answers/solutions. In particular, focusing on those processes will support the exact use of language and increased precision in thinking.
In a subject class the majority of learning objectives would be content focussed, yet at least one would be language focussed.

|Learners continue to develop their knowledge of systematic inorganic chemistry within the framework of the Periodic Table. They understand the chemistry of these important elements in the context of their structure and the trends |
|within the Periodic Table. They are approaching the end of systematic study of the elements and they will then have an overview of chemical behaviour underpinned by a sound understanding of its governing principles. The role of |
|nitrogen compounds in living systems and the effects of its compounds in the environment offer links with the biology curriculum. |

|This unit introduces redox reactions: a key concept in advanced chemistry. Learners are reminded of familiar oxidations and then helped to define oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen and hydrogen. The concept is then widened|
|to cover redox in terms of electron transfer and the idea of ion-electron half equations is introduced. Finally, oxidation numbers, a very useful general concept, is introduced and learners will continue to develop their |
|understanding of writing substance formulae. In addition, they will learn to balance equations using the very widely applicable oxidation number approach. |

|Outline |
|The background to this unit is information on chemical extraction and manufacture in Kazakhstan. In this unit, three key processes are introduced: the manufacture of sulfuric acid, ammonia and iron and steel. There are three key |
|points: |
|(1) Emphasis on understanding the chemistry of these processes, especially in applying learners’ knowledge and understanding of equilibrium processes |
|(2) These are industrial processes and so it is appropriate to keep in mind the economics of production |
|(3) The processes studied should be presented as an integrated whole rather than three separate and unrelated units (though in principle they could be taught in any order). |
|Environmental considerations of major chemical manufacturing processes are studied. |

|This unit looks in detail at limestone and other naturally occurring carbonates. Causes, effects and removal of hardness in water are considered before moving to the limestone cycle and the study of a series of inter-related |
|compounds. Uses of limestone and its derivatives are examined and the whole unit is assessed by means of a number of active learning ‘games’. |

|This unit begins with a look at the alkanes as the ‘base’ series for a study of organic chemistry. The properties are explored by learners and there is a useful determination of enthalpy of combustion which will be developed in the|
|next unit. The alkenes are presented next and learners have an opportunity to examine their properties practically. Cracking and addition reactions, which are industrially important, conclude the unit. |

|Outline |
|The unit is organised around the concept of hydrolysis, developing some of the ideas about esterification from unit 10.3A. The effects of hydrolysing proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils are covered. Learners learn to separate |
|and identify the products by extending their understanding of chromatography obtained from Grade 6. |
