Classes vary in size but it is our policy that no class should have more than fifteen students and, at all levels, students with particular needs are taught in small groups. To facilitate pupils’ development of planning and organization skills for effective presentations and representations, teachers will guide pupils in identifying the purpose, audience, context and culture, and setting goals for speaking and/ or representing

Syllabus Aims

By the end of all English course levels of basic education, pupils will be able to communicate effectively in English as a result of their development in the following areas.

1. Listen, read and view critically and with accuracy, understanding and appreciation a wide range of literary and informational, functional texts from print and non-print sources. In the course of listening, reading and viewing widely a range of multimodal texts and text forms, pupils will gain a better understanding of our cultural values and National Education themes, and engage in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), where applicable.

2. Speak, write and represent in internationally acceptable English (Standard English) that is grammatical, fluent, mutually intelligible and appropriate for different purposes, audiences, contexts and cultures. Pupils will speak, write and represent for creative, personal, academic and functional purposes by using language in a sustained manner (e.g., in speech and writing) and by representing their ideas in a range of multimodal texts and text forms. Our most able pupils will do so with increasing ease and inventiveness at higher levels of proficiency. Understand and use internationally acceptable English (Standard English) grammar and vocabulary accurately and appropriately as well as understand how speakers/ writers put words together and use language to communicate meaning and achieve impact. Pupils will learn grammar and vocabulary in explicit, engaging and meaningful ways. They will reinforce such understanding in the course of listening to, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and representing different types of texts. To achieve the aim of effective language use, teachers will be guided by the six Principles of EL Teaching and Learning and will take into account the Teaching Processes when developing their instructional programs and lessons.

Diagnose pupils’ needs, abilities and interests. Identify learning gaps, monitor their learning and provide timely and useful feedback for improving learning and self-assessment. Enabling Application
Teach language in authentic contexts of use and model its use. Let pupils learn through working collaboratively with the teacher and other pupils. Guiding Discovery
