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, getting information, and when enjoying a good book or film. 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. These four language skills in turn also incorporate the use of good grammar, the English sound system, and the use of appropriate vocabulary. In addition, the curriculum also takes into account other educational emphases such as thinking skills, ICT skills, values and citizenship education.

Language Skills

The language skills of listening, reading and writing form the core of the primary English curriculum. Learners use these skills to talk to and write to people, to obtain information from various sources, and to enjoy a poem or story read or heard. The skill of Listening is taught to enable learners to listen carefully to what is spoken so that they are able to obtain as much and as accurately as possible the information or ideas heard. Oral skills are taught to enable learners to express their ideas confidently and clearly. For this purpose, learners are taught to pronounce words correctly and to speak with correct stress, intonation and sentence rhythm. The skill of Reading is taught to enable learners not only to read independently a variety of texts but also to read with understanding so that they are able to extract information efficiently. The skill of Writing is taught to enable learners to express their ideas clearly on paper in legible handwriting or to communicate

via the electronic media if facilities are available in school.

Language teaching also takes into account learners’ multiple intelligences and emphasizes the importance of using real life examples 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, grammar, the sound system and words from the word list. More details on the learning outcomes and the language content are given in the Syllabus Specifications documents from Year 1 through to Year 6.
