You don't say "language arts", so this must mean pure language. Language can be oral, written, mental, understood, implied, and so on. I'm thinking that you may have a student with some kind of language concern, and you are being asked to be specific and focused in considering this student's language education in the classroom. This may mean planning that the student will get a chance for speaking opportunities (both in front of the class, or one to one, or small group). This also may mean that the student will have the opportunity to show understanding of another person's language, i.e. as a listener by writing down what the student believes the person said. The student could also just orally say what he or she believes the speaker was trying to say. I could come up with more, but that's pretty much the gist of it. In my 1st grade classroom, I did give "language" some thought. For instance, I continued having share time because my personal belief was that in general, 5 and 6 year olds are not listened to enough, aren't given "the floor" often enough and they need to develop those skills. I can't say that I purposefully would set out to plan language in my class as I sat down to do lesson plans each week.
