    Curriculum Specifications forEnglish

    Form 1

    By the end of the year, learners must be able to use theEnglish language for these purposes.

    Language Skills

    The four language skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading andWriting do not appear as discrete items in the syllabus or inthis document but are integrated into the three areas oflanguage use. Thus, when learners use the language say forinterpersonal purposes, they not only engage in conversationby talking and listening to each other, but also correspond witheach other by writing messages and letters. The secondcolumn entitled Specifications spells out in greater detail thespecific skills and sub-skills that help learners achieve theLearning Outcomes for the year.

    The Learning Content

    In teaching learners to use the language for various purposes,themes and topics are used to make lessons meaningful.These can be sourced from various areas. Knowledge fromsubject disciplines such as science and geography can beutilized or alternatively topics can be drawn from currentissues. Learners begin with issues and concerns in theirimmediate surroundings, i.e. the school, town and country andlater progress to issues and concerns at a more internationallevel. Some themes and topics have been suggested asexamples to help teachers decide upon their own themes andtopics that are suitable for theirclass

    SECTION II: LANGUAGE CONTENT

    Grammar

    In this section, grammar items have been selected from the list

    provided in the syllabus and these are to be taught within thecontext of the three areas of language use. In addition,sentence patterns have been listed to enable learners tomaster the structures of the English language. Teachers areadvised to limit the number of structures used to ensure thatlearners master these structures well. Teaching too manycomplex structures may be counter-productive to weakerlearners.

    Word List

    The list of words selected for teaching at lower secondary isbased on a sample of the more common or high frequencywords. However, this suggested word list is only the minimumfor the year. Teachers are encouraged to widen this listaccording to the level, ability and maturity of theirlearners.

    Sound System

    To help learners pronounce words correctly and speak withcorrect stress, intonation and rhythm, specific sounds (e.g.blends, diphthongs) have been identified for teaching. Theobjective of this exercise is to aim for clear speech and

    intelligibility.

    EDUCATIONAL EMPHASES

    The educational emphases given below outline currentdevelopments in education that will help learners prepare forthe world of work and social life. In this respect, the

    incorporation of moral education, citizenship education,patriotism and thinking skills in the specifications will contributetowards the building of a modern and progressive society.

    Thinking skills

    Critical and creative thinking skills are incorporated in thelearning outcomes to enable learners to analyze information,make decisions, solve problems, and express themselvesaccurately and creatively in the target language.

    Learning How to Learn Skills

    Learning How to Learn skills are also integrated in the learningoutcomes and aim to enable learners to take responsibility fortheir own learning. These skills incorporate information skills,library skills and study skills to enable learners to locatesources of information more efficiently and help them becomeindependent life-long learners.

    Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Skills

    In line with globalization and the ICT Age, skills relating to ICTare incorporated in the learning outcomes. These skills have

    been added to cater for schools that have IT facilities. Theseskills include the use of multimedia resources such as TVdocumentaries and Internet resources as well as the utilizationof computer-related activities such as e-mail activities,networking and interacting with electronic courseware.

    Values and Citizenship

    The values contained in the secondary Moral Educationsyllabus have been incorporated in the learning outcomes andinclude patriotism and good citizenship.

    Multiple Intelligences

    The learning outcomes also reflect the incorporation of thetheory of multiple Intelligences. This is illustrated, for example,in the interpersonal use of the language in social interaction,the application of kinesthetic intelligence in the dramatizationof texts, and the application of spatial intelligence in theinterpretation of maps and other such activities.

    Knowledge Acquisition

    Learning outcomes utilize subject matter disciplines such asscience, geography, and incorporate educational emphasessuch as environmental studies and consumerism to providecontexts for language use.

    Preparation for the Real World

    The learning outcomes prepare learners to meet thechallenges of the real world by focusing on language use insociety. This is achieved through structuring the curriculum interms of the interpersonal, informational and aesthetic uses oflanguage. It is also achieved by making use of real-life issues

    for classroom activities and project work. Whenever theopportunity presents itself, learners are encouraged to meetwith people outside of the classroom so that they learn tooperate in real-life situations.

    IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEACHING

    The following considerations should be taken into account inteaching the curriculum specifications.

    Planning and Organization ofLessons

    These specifications must be organized in a manageable formfor teaching taking into account the time allocated for Englishin the time-table. The three areas of language use taken singlyorin combination, may be planned around a topic.

    Integration

    The principle of integration can help teachers cover areas ofthe syllabus in several lessons. Once a topic is selected,teachers can plan tasks and activities that seek to integrate

    the three areas of language use. Thus, for the topic Nutritionfor example, learners can read articles on how teenagers havebecome obese or ill because they have been eating too muchof junk food and other unnutritious foods and then tell eachother what they have read (Inter-personal). The teacher thenassigns students to look up the different aspects of nutrition forthe healthy adolescent and present it to the class(Informational). Learners can then exchange some recipes onpreparing certain kinds offood.

    Moral values should be infused in the lessons through theselection of appropriate materials and activities. Elements of

    patriotism, environmental education, and health education areconsidered essential in building a disciplined society.

    Repetition, Reinforcement and Consolidation

    Language skills, vocabulary, grammar items and the soundsystem must be repeated often and used constantly tomaximise learning and bring about retention. To this end,teachers should set a variety of tasks and activities that willenable learners to use the language items repeatedly so thatitems are reinforced. Repetition should be carried out usingnew material to avoid boredom.

    Teaching-Learning Activities

    In order to bring about effective learning, learners must begiven every opportunity to take part in activities that requirethem to use the language they have learnt. Care must be

    taken to ensure that learners can cope with the task so thatthey are not operating at a frustration level. Teachers mayneed to control structures and vocabulary to ensure successfulcompletion of a task oractivity.

    Evaluation

    Evaluation is part and parcel of the teaching-learning process.Continuous feedback is essential if learners are to keep trackof their progress. After every lesson teachers are encouragedto assess their set of learners through simple questioningtechniques or some other exercise so that they can pace their

    lessons in accordance with learners progress. Ideally,teachers should ensure mastery before moving on to the nextset ofskills.

    OtherConsiderationsAs far as possible, teachers should use the Malaysian settingas a base to teach the language skills and language contents.Teachers should also use materials that emphasize theprinciples of good citizenship, moral values, and the Malaysian

    way oflife.

    This document only lists a number of essential activities for theattainment of the English language. Teachers need to usetheir initiative, imagination and creativity to extend theexperiences of their learners, to reinforce what has been learntand to create challenging language tasks.
