Scheme of work for grade 6

Introduction
The emphasis in Grade 6 is on speaking and listening, helping learners to develop confidence and competence in
communication. Learners experiment with language using English in pairs, groups and whole-class activity They develop
the ability to ask questions, to explore their own ideas and thoughts, to give and understand instructions and to give and
understand descriptions of people and objects.
The Grade 6 curriculum continues to support the development of early literacy competences in reading and writing in
English. Learners acquire skills for decoding and encoding English words and to read and write simple texts and
messages, communicating clearly to their intended audience.
The Grade 6 curriculum helps learners to develop personal skills through providing opportunities for learners to explain
their own views, recognise their own strengths, weaknesses, and achievements, and to set realistic learning targets.
Social skills are developed through the curriculum’s emphasis on negotiating and sharing meaning through talk and the
Grade 6 curriculum also supports the development of cultural understanding through the use of pictures, texts and tasks
relating to other countries. The experience of learning English also helps learners at this stage to develop feelings of
empathy and to understanding of others, as it helps them to realise how it might feel for people who are unable to speak
their language.

Approach to teaching and learning

A student-centred curriculum should support students in learning how to learn and in becoming independent, self-
motivated, engaged, confident, responsible and reflective learners.

Teachers are expected to nurture and develop these qualities through using a wide variety of teaching and learning
strategies that include:

 providing language input at text level, through stories, songs, chants, role-plays, poems and descriptions, so that
learners are exposed to whole language

 focusing on children’s ability to communicate concepts and meanings, by adopting a low profile approach to oral
correction, using reformulation and recasting in response to incorrect utterances

 selecting topics that are relevant and interesting to learners and making tasks meaningful and purposeful

 choosing tasks that tend to carry an embedded rather than an explicit language focus, so that they make sense
from the child’s perspective

 continuing to recognise the importance of delivering content through a range of both print and digital media so as
to support the development of student literacy in both print and digital communication genres.

Assessments can be formative or summative.
Assessment of students’ language knowledge and skills includes the following:
• assessment of the curriculum outcomes
• formative assessment which is done throughout the course
• summative assessment which is done at the end of each term and school year
• self-assessment which is done by students themselves
• peer assessment which is done by students in pairs, groups or in a whole class
• nonverbal assessment which is done through giving positive reinforcement to students
Formative assessment is given during the course, not at the end, so that learners can improve during the course. Formative assessment comes in many forms, but
always includes feedback. There may also be an overall score, but this is not essential. The feedback generally relates to only a few areas for learners to focus on
and improve rather than on all of the learners' errors.
Summative assessment occurs at the end of instruction, typically after a semester, course, or a few years in school. School leaving exams are one example of a
summative assessment. Learners often receive only a final score without feedback on what they have done wrong.
In this curriculum the recommendations and materials for assessment are given by portion after each module. Teachers need to go through the all curriculum to get
acknowledged with the different tasks and rubrics. The dimension and categories are subject to be changed and modified towards to the students’ learning level and
specifics of the criteria which is aimed to reveal required skills relevant to the learning objectives.
After each module there are given different assessment tasks in the order of: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Tasks can be applied for individual, pair, group
and whole class activities.
For example: When teachers decide to reveal their students’ speaking skill progress could use the following task.
Assessment for listening
The below given sample tasks can be used to assess the students’ listening knowledge and skills.
 Listen and point to the things or follow instructions
 Listen and select the appropriate pictures
 Listen to a description and draw or colour a picture
 Listen to a description and label a picture
 Listen and match to pictures
 Listen and sequence pictures
 Listen to a description or story and pick items on a simple chart
 Listen and select the correct picture
 Put numbers for each picture or label under the given pictures
Example for listening test (20 minutes/20 items)
There are four parts. Each part begins with one or two examples. All tasks are heard twice.
Part 1
Get students practise with pictures to ensure that they can recognise all of the nouns they have learned.
There are given tasks to match the objects in different locations with the correct prepositions.
Encourage the students to draw straight lines from each object to its location.
Part 2

26
Students need to write a name or a number in answer to each question. Names which students are required to write will be spelled out for them. All the names come
from familiar topics to students.
Where a number is required, students should be encouraged to write numbers as digits rather than words to avoid spelling mistakes. Students will only hear
numbers 1–100 so they need plenty of practice in hearing, and recognising, each of those numbers.
Part 3
This task consists of five questions, each a three-option multiple-choice with pictures. Students listen to the information conveyed in five separate dialogues in which
the speakers are clearly differentiated by age or gender. Students listen and tick the correct picture.
Part 4
This is a test of lexis, particularly names of colors, and prepositions of place. There is one large picture, and in it there are a number of examples of the same object.
The student has to identify a certain object by listening to details of its position, and then color it in correctly. The information is given in a dialogue between
preferably an adult and a child.

In this task students read sentences. There are five statements, each accompanied by a picture, and the students have to place a tick in a box if the statement
matches the picture, and a cross if it does not.
Part 2
Students look at a picture and five statements, some of which correctly describe the picture and some which do not. Students write ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as appropriate.
Part 3
This is a test of knowledge of words and spelling. There are five pictures of objects, each accompanied by the word for the object given as jumbled letters. The
students write the word for each object.
Part 4
Students read a text and look at the words with pictures in a box below the text. They then copy the correct words in each of the five gaps. All missing words are
singular or plural nouns. There are two extra words which candidates should not use.

Part 5
A story is told through three pictures, with five questions, each of which requires a one-word answer. The correct word may be a noun, verb or number.

What Do We Mean by ‘Ability to Read’?

The first thing we have to do before designing formative assessment tasks for our students is define what our tasks aim to address. We should ask, “What reading
skills do our tasks elicit?” In other words, we need to know what constitutes reading skills and sub-skills. Based on the literature, we present the summary of reading
sub-skills29: Skimming to understand the gist
Scanning to locate specific information
Reading for main ideas and supporting details
Understanding meaning of words
Deducing meaning of unfamiliar words from the context
Understanding explicitly stated information
Understanding information when not specifically stated
Drawing inferences
Recognizing the communicative purpose of a passage
Recognizing a writer’s purpose, attitude and tone
Recognizing the organization of information in a passage
Distinguishing important information from minor details

Formative Assessment of Reading Even though reading skills are taught and practiced in most class sessions, they are generally assessed through summative
tests such as end-of-term tests in order to measure students’ achievement against the curriculum target. As we have seen from the review of formative versus
summative assessment in Section 1, summative assessment is mostly final and hence will not benefit students and teachers significantly in terms of adjusting their
learning and teaching. As a result, we encourage the practice of formative assessment to fill the gap, as a type of assessment which will bring about more benefits to
both students and teachers, rather than just grades.
It is important to note that we need to align our formative assessment tasks with our syllabus, so checking the reading sub-skills covered in your syllabus is a step
you should not miss. As formative assessment usually has a narrow focus, you may need to set your priorities as to which sub-skills you want to focus on in the
assessment for that lesson/exercise. In addition to a narrow focus, we also need to ensure that this formative assessment task is done repeatedly so that we and our
students
How to Assess/Give Feedback
The assessment involved in this task is mainly self-assessment where students assess and reflect on their own practice. In addition to that, you can give them
feedback after several reading occasions based on the information in their logbook (the Reading Rate Chart and the Self-Assessment Checklist) and write the
feedback on the Teacher Feedback Sheet. Besides using the information to give feedback to students, you can also use it to adjust your teaching of reading and the
formative assessment task itself. For instance, when you notice that many students appear to have difficulty with reading the news article, perhaps you can find
simpler articles for future tasks or simplify the articles.

Scheme of work for grade 7

Introduction

The emphasis in Grade 7 continues to be on speaking and listening, though to a slightly lesser extent
than in previous Grades. There is an increasing emphasis in Grade 7 on developing the ability to ask
questions so that students can explore their own ideas and thoughts and on the ability to narrate and
understand narration of events. In Grade 7 learners demonstrate increasing control over their use of
language and as listeners, learn to understand the main ideas and increasing detail, and to listen to
others without interrupting.
The Grade 7 curriculum moves from sentence level to short text level in areas of reading and writing,
encouraging learners to develop strategies that help them to work more independently when
approaching reading and writing tasks.
The Grade 7 curriculum continues to promote learners’ personal, social and cultural development and
their understanding of themselves and others. Personal skills are developed at this stage by
encouraging learners to take responsibility for their learning and show initiative in dealing with tasks.
Social skills are promoted at this stage through continued emphasis on negotiating and sharing
meaning through talk, through which learners come to anticipate others’ feelings, attitudes and ideas
and adapt their behaviour to suit different situations when expressing their views. There is also in
Grade 7 a continued emphasis on enabling learners to understand and respect people who have
different values, traditions and customs, helping learners to develop a richer appreciation of their own
cultural heritage in the process.

Scheme of work for grade 8

Introduction

In Grade 8 learners experiment with language using English in pairs, groups and whole-class
discussions and in a variety of informal and semi-formal situations. They develop the ability to ask
questions to explore their own ideas and thoughts, as well as enhancing their ability to narrate and
understand narration of events. Learners develop their skills of reading for global and detailed
understanding, and write simple, short fiction and a broader range of non-fiction texts in a way which
communicates a message clearly to their intended audience.

At Grade 8 learners should develop learning strategies and an understanding of concepts which are
useful in other curricular subjects and gain a sense of self-esteem and confidence from understanding
and communicating successfully in an additional language. Learners develop their own thinking
through talking and listening to others, and learn to feel responsibility towards others they work with.
They gradually begin to learn to solve differences of opinion by seeking consensus. The cultural focus
of topics in Grade will continue to enhance student’s awareness of the culture of others and their
appreciation of their own cultural identity and heritage.

The aims of the English curriculum

1 to develop learners communicative skills in terms of asking questions, expressing ideas
and thoughts, giving and understanding instructions and the narration of events.
2 to develop learner control of an increasing range of A2 level structure and vocabulary
3 to enable learners to relate to listening and reading texts for an increasing range of global
and detailed understanding purposes.
4 to develop learner abilities to produce simple, short fiction and non-fiction texts which
communicate messages clearly to their intended audience.
5 to encourage learners through the study of English to explore both curriculum content and
their own and other people’s cultural identity

Approach to teaching and learning

A student-centred curriculum should support students in learning how to learn and becoming
independent, self-motivated, engaged, confident, responsible and reflective learners.
Teachers are expected to nurture and develop these qualities through using a wide variety of teaching
65
 and learning strategies that include:
 modeling language to allow learners see how different areas of language are related, and thus helping
them to assimilate and accommodate new language and to produce language chunks

 providing opportunities for learners to interact in pairs, groups, and plenary discussion, helping
learners to reach shared meanings and understandings

 continuing to develop learners ability to evaluate and refine their work and participate in the sharing of
the work with others

 using classroom talk to create interest in a task, to break complex tasks into smaller steps, to focus
learners on the aim of a task and to show learners who are unable to do a task alternative ways of
approaching it
 continuing through ICT to expose opportunities for finding, creating and manipulating information,
collaborating in communicating this information to others

Using Informal Assessments for English Language Learners

Informal assessments (also called authentic or alternative) allow teachers to track the ongoing progress of their students regularly and often. While standardized
tests measure students at a particular point in the year, ongoing assessments provide continual snapshots of where students are throughout the school year. By
using informal assessments, teachers can target students' specific problem areas, adapt instruction, and intervene earlier rather than later.
Ongoing assessments are particularly important for English language learners (ELLs). Standardized tests in English do not usually reflect ELLs' true content
knowledge or abilities. Yet informal assessments can provide a more well-rounded picture of their skills, abilities, and ongoing progress. Today's No Child Left
Behind legislation requires that meticulous records be kept on the progress of ELLs. Having these records will make it easier when questions of program placement,
special services, and grading arise.

94
There are two commonly used informal methods: performance-based assessment and portfolio assessment. Both methods utilize typical classroom activities to
measure progress toward curricular goals and objectives. These activities can be monitored and recorded by teacher observation and student self-assessment.
Colorín Colorado (2007)

After each module there are given different assessment tasks in the order of: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Tasks can be applied for individual, pair, group
and whole class activities.

Example for listening test

Approximately 25 minutes/25 items

There are five parts. Each part begins with one example. All tasks are heard twice.
Part 1
In this task, students look at a picture which shows people doing different things. Above and below are people’s names. Students listen to a dialogue between an
adult and a child and draw lines from the names to the correct person in the picture.
Part 2
This is a note-taking exercise in which students listen to a conversation between two speakers and write a word or a number next to five short prompts on a form or
page of a notepad. Some misspellings will be allowed for words which are not spelled out on the recording.
Part 3
Students listen to a conversation which is mainly led by one speaker. They match a list of illustrated words or names with a set of pictures by writing the letter of the
correct picture in a box.
Part 4
This task consists of five questions, each a 3-option multiple-choice with pictures. Students listen to five separate dialogues in which the speakers are clearly
differentiated by age or gender. Students listen and tick the correct picture.

Part 5
This task consists of a dialogue in which an adult asks a child to colour different things in a picture, write a simple word and draw and colour an object. Students
listen to the dialogue and follow the instructions

Example for speaking test

7–9 minutes/4 parts
The speaking test is a face-to-face test with a teacher and one student. It lasts approximately 5-6 minutes.
The mark for the speaking test is based on a rating for interactive listening ability, pronunciation, production of appropriate and extended responses, and grammar
and vocabulary.
Part 1
The student is shown two pictures similar but have some differences. The student looks at the picture, identifies six differences and says how the picture is
different.
Part 2
The teacher asks the student questions about a person, place or object, based on a set of question cues. The student responds, using a set of information cues. The
teacher asks the student questions based on a set of different question cues.
Part 3
The teacher shows the student a sequence of five pictures which show a story. The student is asked to describe the pictures.
Part 4
The teacher asks the student some personal questions on topics such as school, holidays, birthdays, family and hobbies.

Example reading and writing test

40 minutes/50 items
There are seven parts. Each part begins with one or two examples. Correct spelling is required in all parts of the reading and writing test.
Part 1
In this task there are 15 words and 10 definitions. The words are not illustrated. Students match words to the corresponding definition by writing the correct words.
Part 2
Students look at a picture and seven statements, some of which correctly describe the picture and some which do not. Students write ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as appropriate.
Part 3
Students read a dialogue in which the second speaker’s responses are missing. There is a list of possible responses for the second speaker, lettered A–G. Students
select the appropriate response in each case and write the letter in the gap. There is one response which does not fit the dialogue.
Part 4
Students read a gapped text and look at words in a box beside the text. They then copy the correct word in each of the five gaps. The missing words are nouns,
adjectives, verbs (present and past tense) and adverbs. Correct spelling is required. There are four extra words which candidates should not use.
Students choose the best title for the story from a choice of three.
Part 5
Students read a story and complete sentences using one, two, three or four words. There is one continuous text and one picture. The picture provides a context for
the story but does not provide answers to the questions.
Part 6
In this task students read a factual text which contains 10 gaps. They choose the correct word from a choice of three and copy the correct words in the gaps. This
task has a grammatical focus.

Part 7
Students read a gapped text often in the form of a diary or a letter. Students write one word in each of the five gaps. There is no list of words for students to choose

98
 from. Both lexis and grammar are tested in this task.

Instruction

In grade 9 learners experiment with language using English in pairs, groups and whole-class
discussions and in a variety of informal and semi-formal situations. They develop the ability to ask
questions to explore their own ideas and thoughts, as well as enhancing their ability to narrate and
understand narration of events. Learners develop their skills of reading for global and detailed
understanding, and write simple, short fiction and a broader range of non-fiction texts in a way which
communicates a message clearly to their intended audience.

At grade 9 learners should develop learning strategies and an understanding of concepts which are
useful in other curricular subjects and gain a sense of self-esteem and confidence from understanding
and communicating successfully in an additional language. Learners develop their own thinking
through talking and listening to others, and learn to feel responsibility towards others they work with.
They gradually begin to learn to solve differences of opinion by seeking consensus. The cultural focus
of topics in grade will continue to enhance student’s awareness of the culture of others and their
appreciation of their own cultural identity and heritage.

 The number of lines in the table will match the total number of learning objectives for the stage.
 Syllabus codes will be entered in the order that they appear.
 Learning objectives will appear in full.
 The learning objectives can be colour coded:
- ongoing
- a different colour for each term – once only when it is first introduced.
This scheme of work is based on a 35 week academic year, with 4 Modules being covered in 4 terms.
Each unit should, therefore, be covered in 2 weeks based on the provision of 3 hours of classroom
English per week.

Approach to teaching and learning

A student-centred curriculum should support students in learning how to learn and becoming
independent, self-motivated, engaged, confident, responsible and reflective learners.
Teachers are expected to nurture and develop these qualities through using a wide variety of teaching
and learning strategies that include:
 modeling language to allow learners see how different areas of language are related, and thus
helping them to assimilate and accommodate new language and to produce language chunks

 providing opportunities for learners to interact in pairs, groups, and plenary discussion, helping
learners to reach shared meanings and understandings

 continuing to develop learners ability to evaluate and refine their work and participate in the
sharing of the work with others

 using classroom talk to create interest in a task, to break complex tasks into smaller steps, to
focus learners on the aim of a task and to show learners who are unable to do a task alternative ways
of approaching it
 continuing through ICT to expose opportunities for finding, creating and manipulating
information, collaborating in communicating this information to others

Notes:

• The current model of eight modules per stage is recommended – two per term. Fewer would
give too large a group of objectives to address in one unit. More would be too fragmented to give
coherence to the overall scheme.

• Terminology can vary although consistency is recommended within a school. An audit of the
learning objectives for the whole stage is recommended to ensure coverage. 1

• Each objective may be revisited in different ways in different units to continue to develop new
skills in different contexts.

• Some learning objectives will be ongoing throughout the stage – a grid to show this is
recommended.2

Performance-based assessments

Performance-based assessments are based on classroom instruction and everyday tasks. You can use performance-based assessments to assess ELLs'
language proficiency and academic achievement through oral reports, presentations, demonstrations, written assignments, and portfolios.
These assessments can include both processes (e.g., several drafts of a writing sample) and products (e.g., team projects). You can use scoring rubrics and
observation checklists to evaluate and grade your students. These assessment tools can help document your ELLs' growth over a period of time.
When using performance-based assessments, it is important to establish clear and fair criteria from the beginning. It might be helpful to develop these criteria in
conjunction with other teachers or specialists at your school. Performance-based assessments promote a wide range of responses and do not typically produce
one single, correct answer. Therefore, evaluation of student performances and products must be based on teacher judgment, using the criteria specified for
each task.
You can also develop assessment (and instructional) activities that are aimed to your ELLs' current level of English proficiency. Performance-based assessment
activities can concentrate on oral communication and/or reading. Here are examples of commonly-used activity types designed for assessing speaking or
reading:

 Reading with partners

 Retelling stories
 Role playing
 Giving descriptions or instructions using visual or written prompts
 Oral reporting to the whole class
 Telling a story by using a sequence of three or more pictures
 Completing dialogue or conversation through written prompts
 Debating, either one-on-one or taking turns in small groups
 Brainstorming
 Completing incomplete stories

Speaking assessment (Grade 9)

At the grade 9 students will be able to produce fluent speaking to express their opinion and interactive listening and speaking ability by participating in whole
class or group work. Teacher can use the following types of formative assessment. Either of self-assessment or peer-assessment can be done.
Oral presentation: A short oral presentation can be used for formative assessment. As with first drafts of an essay, there should be a specific focus for
formative oral presentations. The focus may be on content, fluency, organization, pronunciation, etc. The final version of the oral presentation is generally
summative. Peer evaluation is often used in both formative and summative stages. Peer evaluation works best with a checklist or rubric. Example: Create a
new (imaginary) product and try to sell it to the audience.

132
Play or debate: Preparation for the play or debate is part of formative assessment, but the play or debate itself is often a summative assessment. A short
play (or a role-play) will work for intermediate and advanced learners, but a debate works best with more advanced and typically older students. This is a
group assessment. The teacher needs to keep in mind the different roles and expectations for each role in a play, where some learners may be doing much
more than others. The roles in a formal debate are more equally divided among the speakers. The audience can serve as peer evaluators; peer evaluation
works best with a checklist or rubric.
Examples:
Role-play: Act out the parts in a dialogue in the textbook.
Play: Perform a short play (this could be something that learners create themselves)
Debate: Debate whether or not nuclear power plants should be banned.

Demonstrate/“show me”: This is a physical response to a prompt. It can be formative or summative. The physical response works well with beginners and with
young learners. A demonstration can be quite simple or quite elaborate so works with all levels and ages of learners.
Examples:
Demonstrate how to make your favorite recipe, describing what you are doing in English.
Total Physical Response: Touch your head. Raise your left hand. Close your eyes.
