What do we mean by higher level language?
Higher level language refers to skills that go beyond basic language abilities. It incorporates being able to understand and use language in more detail, for example to reason, predict, deduce, infer, problem solve, explain and justify. It also includes understanding and use of non-literal language and the ability to see things from another person’s perspective. This section includes activities to support higher level language skills.
