Hi, download the statutory ey's framework on this page -
publications education, scroll down a little it's the first link of 4
Section two of that pdf is all about the learning and development requirements for settings and briefly explains the six areas of learning:
PD - physical development
CD - creative development
PSRN - problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
KnUW - knowledge and understanding of the world
PSED - personal, social, emotional development.
CLL - communication, language & literacy is one of the six areas of learning and enables you to identify how CLL can be found in the other 5 areas.
The early learning goals that are listed provide a structure for practitioners to plan environments with. They are published in the aim that children will/should/may attain those goals by the time the EYFS ends for each individual child.
Quote:
Communication, Language and Literacy
Educational programme
2.9
Children’s learning and competence in communicating, speaking and listening, being read to and beginning to read and write must be supported and extended. They must be provided with opportunity and encouragement to use their skills in a range of situations and for a range of purposes, and be supported in developing the confidence and disposition to do so.
Early learning goals
2.10
By the end of the EYFS, children should:
■ Interact with others, negotiating plans and activities and taking turns in conversation.
■ Enjoy listening to and using spoken and written language, and readily turn to it in their play and learning.
■ Sustain attentive listening, responding to what they have heard with relevant comments, questions or actions. ■ Listen with enjoyment, and respond to stories, songs and other music, rhymes and poems and make up their own stories, songs, rhymes and poems.
■ Extend their vocabulary, exploring the meanings and sounds of new words.
■ Speak clearly and audibly with confidence and control and show awareness of the listener.
■ Use language to imagine and recreate roles and experiences.
■ Use talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events.
■ Hear and say sounds in words in the order in which they occur.
■ Link sounds to letters, naming and sounding the letters of the alphabet.
■ Use their phonic knowledge to write simple regular words and make phonetically plausible attempts at more complex words.
■ Explore and experiment with sounds, words and texts.
■ Retell narratives in the correct sequence, drawing on language patterns of stories.
■ Read a range of familiar and common words and simple sentences independently.
■ Know that print carries meaning and, in English, is read from left to right and top to bottom.
■ Show an understanding of the elements of stories, such as main character, sequence of events and openings, and how information can be found in non-fiction texts to answer questions about where, who, why and how. ■ Attempt writing for different purposes, using features of different forms such as lists, stories and instructions.
■ Write their own names and other things such as labels and captions, and begin to form simple sentences, sometimes using punctuation.
■ Use a pencil and hold it effectively to form recognisable letters, most of which are correctly formed.

As the goals show, communication, language and literacy involves many different methods: eg. children interacting with each other, talking, discussing, using body language, verbal language, signed language, use markmaking to communicate, question, receive answers, listen, pronounce,
enunciate, look around, identify text, images, objects and symbols that carry meaning.
Try to see how we each communicate with each other - through dance, music, cookery, writing, our hobbies, interests and inwardly as we learn & understand, adapting our perceptions to work with others productively .. enquire and observe what others like, dislike, why, tools that create, problems that need solving, why and what that communicates ..
In a 3 x 5 table maybe, you could 1. list the areas of learning , 2. give a summary of what each area is, then use the last column to identify aspects of CLL in the other 5?
