    DescriptionLinking language and literacy outcomes to the English syllabus in an attempt to improve students’ writing across all subjects is a flawed approach.

    It ignores important research on what all teachers need to know about language and gets in the way of students developing the different language skills they need in different subjects. It also risks disadvantaging students who are still learning English.
