Pengolahan Kurikulum Bahasa Inggeris Sekolah Menengah

CURRICULUM ORGANISATION

The English language curriculum is developed in line with the way English is used in society in everyday life, when interacting with people, when accessing information and when understanding and responding to literary works. This is reflected in the learning outcomes of the curriculum. The learning outcomes are based on the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing which in turn incorporate grammar, the English sound system and the appropriate use of vocabulary. In addition, the curriculum takes into account other educational emphases such as thinking skills, ICT skills and values and citizenship education.

Language Use

The three areas of language use are the Interpersonal, the Informational, and the Aesthetic. Language for Interpersonal purposes enables learners to establish and maintain friendships and also collaborate with people to do certain things; Language for Informational purposes enables learners to use language to obtain, process, and give information. Language for Aesthetic purposes enables learners to enjoy literary texts at a level suited to their language and to express themselves creatively.

Language Skills

The language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing form the core of the curriculum. Learners use these skills to interact with people, obtain information and present information, respond to literary texts, and express themselves creatively. The skill of listening enables learners to understand and extract information relevant to their needs or to enjoy the sounds and rhythm of speech as in poetry and song. Oral skills will enable learners to convey their thoughts and ideas clearly in speech when they pronounce words correctly and observe correct stress and intonation. The skill of reading a variety of texts will enable learners to adjust the speed and style of their reading to suit the purpose at hand and to extract both implicit and explicit meanings from the text. Writing skills will enable learners to present their ideas in a logical and organised manner.

Language Content

The Language Content of the curriculum comprises the Sound System, the Grammar of the English language, the texts in the literature component, and the Word List to guide teachers.

Educational Emphases

In addition, current developments in education and in English language teaching are included. These are Thinking Skills, skills of Learning How to Learn and other educational emphases such as values and citizenship education. Language content also takes into account learners’ multiple intelligences and emphasises the importance of using real-life issues and problems to prepare learners for the real world.

Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes are statements to guide teachers in teaching and are derived from the objectives. Learning outcomes incorporate the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Learning outcomes combine skills with aspects of language content. More details on learning outcomes and language content are given in the

Syllabus Specifications documents.
