Communication Skills in IB MYP Grade 1 English Language and Literature
Communication Skills is part of IB MYP Grade 1 English Language and Literature, within Language and Communication. At this foundational stage (ages 11–12), learners work on listening and responding appropriately and expressing ideas clearly to a partner.
MYP English Language and Literature is assessed against four criteria (A: analysing, B: organizing, C: producing text and D: using language). Regular practice with communication skills builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Listening and responding appropriately
- Expressing ideas clearly to a partner
For students
Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For revision
Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.
For teachers
Use communication skills activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Keep a small notebook of new words, and use each one in a sentence of your own within a day or two.
