Quote

Language learning in schools includes oracy, literacy, and literature. Oracy is the ability to speak clearly, fluently, and with confidence. Literacy is knowing the skills and conventions of reading and writing. Literature is among humanity’s most important art forms. The study and practice of the literary arts gives students intimate access to the insights and sensibilities of other lives, times, and traditions.
