CURRICULUM FOR ENGLISH LITERATURE ELECTIVE SUBJECT
I. Introduction
Theaims and objectives of teaching literature at this level should be
pre-dominantly linguistic rather than purely literary. Of course, the students are
expectedto be made aware of the literary overtones but basically the study
should be directed to reading for pleasure and developing in the students a desire
and a test for extensive reading.
II specific objectives:
(i) To develop the students' intellectual power through foreign language
study;
(ii) To increase students' personal culture through the study of the great lit-
erature and philosophy.
(iii) To increase the students understanding of how language functions and to bring
him, through the study of a foreign language, to a greater awareness of the
functioning of his own language;

ENGLISH (COMPULSORY)
FOR CLASSES IX-X
OBJECTIVES
The general objectives of teachlnq English reflect the relevant aspects of
Education policy, outlined as follows:-
(a) To foster in the hearts and minds of the people of Pakistan in general
and the students in particular a deep and abiding loyalty to Islam and
Pakistan and a living consciousness of their spiritual and ideological
Identity thereby strengthening unity of the outlook of the people of Pakistan on the
basis of justice and fairplay.
(b) To create awareness in every student that he, as a member of Pakistan
, nation is also a part of the universal Muslim Ummahand that it is expected of
him to make a contribution towards the welfare of fellow
Muslims inhabiting the globe on the one handand to help spread the .
message of Islam throughout the world on the other.
( c) To produce citizenswho are fully conversant with the Pakistan movement, its
ideological foundations, history and culture so that they feel proud of their heritage
and display firm faith in the future of he country as an Islamic state.
(d) To develop and inculcate in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. The
character, conduct and motivation expected of a true Muslims.
(e) To create interest and love for learning and discipline among the youth and to
ensure that every student is imbued with the realization that education is a
continuous and a life-long process.
. The specific objectives of learning a second language are linguistic innature, that is, to
acquire ability to use its structure within a general vocabularyunder conditions of normal
communication. What we need is to moderate profi- ciencyin the fundamental skills of
listening, speaking reading and writing.
31 | P a g e
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
It is generally agreed that listing ( with comprehension ) and speak Intelligently
precede reading and writing . The approach to language teachshould, therefore, be
audiolingual.
Since the new curriculum for classes VI VIII has already been adop and since it is
assumed that it will be put into practice in due time, enough we will have been done at the
lower stage to enable the learner to hear and speak with proper understanding before he
enters the secondary stage.
At the secondary stage, equal proficiency in the four skills is essential can be seen
from the discussion English can be used as a powerful instrument bringing about social
change. That requires shifting of emphasis from oriental on literature and culture to its use
as a functional language. A learner of English should, therefore, be able to feud and write
English in order to conduct his b ness in a fast changing society.
The specific objectives of learning English at what stage or level are:-
Listening
(i) To recognize the nature of listening as an active two-fold process
receiving and interpreting.
(ii) To develop the ability to attend to listening tasks of increasing co
plexity.
(iii) To develop critical, creative habits of listening.
(iv) To develop the awareness of pleasure to be gained from Iistening.
(v) To recognized the role of listening in the total language arts
pro-gram me.
Speaking
(i) To foster and svelop in each pupil the desire to express orally
thoughts and feelings.
(ii) To develop in each pupil the ability to:-
(a)verbalize experiences and ideas with confidence.
(b) articulate words clearly and pronounce them correctly.
(c)speak extend and enrich his vocabulary; and

(d)control his voice so that it is pleasant and effective.
(ii) To help each pupil:
(a) extend and enrich his vocabulary, and
.
(b)establishacceptable patterns of language usage.
(iv) To inculute in each pupil the habit of speaking and responding courte-
ously in any group situation.
Reading
To develop the desire and habit to read with interest.
To develop the ability to use the reading skill for a variety of purposes.
To understand simple English usage.
To develop the ability to read orally and silently the written passage. To
develop the ability to interpret the meaning intended by the writer.
To enable pupils to read Prose and Poetry for appreciation and
plea-sure.
(v)
(vi)
To develop the appropriate range of skills and sub-skills of reading
(mechanical skills i.e. decoding the symbols and intellectual skills i.e.
comprehension and interpretation.
To teach the student to read the foreign language with comprehension, so
that he may keep abreast of modern writing, research and informaion .
Writing
(i) To develop skills needed in effective written expression : spelling ,
handwriting , vocabulary , sentence pattern, ect.
To develop the skill needed for organization of ideas, selection of
appropriate topics, sequence of events necessary to the writing of a
good composition.
To develop the skill of letter-writing and story-writing.
33 | P a g e
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
The specitic objectives at the secondary stage should, therefore, be
create the ability to:-
(i) gain moderate proficiency in listening and speaking.
(ii) make functional use of the language to enable the learner to read a
, write intelligently.
Aspects of language Learning
Language includes the "kind of material that go to make up language and way the
materials are put together, arranged and used to build up senten which are statements,
questions, commands and exclamations, from the liy language and are the means of
expressing what we feel, want to do, talk ab and
so forth".
Word order, structural words, inflections and sentence patterns determine the
structures of the language, while lexicon is what is expressed in the structure
. In order to learn the English language one has mainly to concentrate on following
aspects through listening, speaking, reading and writing:-
Pronunciation
Stress
Intonation
Grammatical Structures
Vocabulary
Read ing
Translation
Composition
(1) Pronunciation: - phonetics directs our approach to pronunciation When a
student hears and speaks a second language using all the phonetic of the language, that
is, maintaining all the phonetic contrasts by means of the tinctive phonetic features, he
'knows' the pronunciation of the language. The phonetic units, contrasts and distinctive
features are described by linguists 'phonology.
For ordinary communication, the main goal in foreign language stud foreign accent
need not be eliminated. As observed elsewhere, the priorities for the secondary stage are
reading and writing which pre-supposes that the b ground work in phonology has already
been done at the pre-secondary s

Even so, the adoption of audiolingual method assumes that the introductions of any
lesson will be done orally and as such pronunciation, stress and intonation gain
importance.One cannot simply ignore them. At the same time it may'be , pointed out that
children lose the facility of leaming new sounds wlth age.At the secondary sage, the aim
should therefore, be intelligibility rather than native-like proficiency. The sounds of vowels
and consonants should be intelligibly pronounced:for example, the pupils should be able
to distinguish between vowel sounds, such as law and low, bad and bud. The teacher
must know how vocal cords work and how spoken utterances may be analysed for
teaching purposes. A knowledge of phonetic structure of English and of the pupils own
language is helpful for this purpose. The teacher needs the car to diagnose mistakes ad
have cords control to produce isolated English sounds and mutate his pupils wrong
pronunciation.
(2) &(3) Stress and Intonation. Other important elements of language which need
to be taught and tested are stress and intonation. Contrastive phonological analyses of
the sound systems of English and native language should be made.
It is recommended that the teacher's guide book should contain a chapter on
pronunciation, stress and intonation. The language laboratory, the radio, T.v. and B.B.C.
Special Overseas Programmes my be made use of Gramophone records may e prepared
to teach the speaking elements of the language.
(4) Grammatical Structure: The patterns of arrangements of words in sen-
tences and of parts of words in words form the grammatical structure of English. The level
of structure that are important in outlining the structure of a language are:-
(i) Sequence of sentences.
(ii) sentence patterns.
(iii) parts of sentence.
(iv) modification structures
(v) parts of speech and function words.
(vi) inflection.
(vii) derivation.
(viii) patterns of morphemes into words, and
(xi) morphemes.
It has been established that while structure remains relatively fixed and stae,
vocabulary goes on adding up with use and time. The basic task therefore, is learnthe
word order structural words, inflection and sentence patterns or in her
words , thestructures of the language. Structure should be mastered if vocabulary to be
use.
35 | P a g e
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
. The notion of traditional grammer is outdated: instead. emphasis show be placed
on functional grammar, involving basic structural patterns of English Practice in the use of
these structures should be the central component of learning activity.
Pattern practice or structural drill is a series of exercises involving repetit of a
pattern with variation of the elements. It is an exercise in structural dexte undertaken
solely for the sake of practice in order that the performance mbecome habitual and
automatic. Pattern practice capitalises on the mind's cap ity to perceive identity of
structure where there is difference in content and quickness to learn by analogy. Analysis
is important in its proper sphere but in pa-tern practice analogy is used instead to produce
a control of language structure thus saving time and effort required for grammatical
explanations.
Pattern practice in the classroom situation normally takes the form of s stitution
tables. They are immensely helpful in correct language habits.Th should be used
earnestly in all the classes.
The substitution tables provide the simplest and most efficient method
work on the following five aspects of the teaching of English at any level of instructtion:-
(i) teaching a new construction;
(ii) teaching a new use or elaboration of construction already know;
(iii) teaching a correct usage when an incorrect form tends to becom
common error;
(iv) teaching the correct use of English, tenses; and
(v) eradication of common errors as these reveal themselves in
the of routine class work.
At this point, some pre-cautions have to be taken: firstly, in makinga s stitution
table, we should carefully ensure that all the sentences it provides m sense. Secondly, we
should never try to teach two constructions throughone the same substitution table. Two
or more constructions can, of course, be inc ed in one table but each should first be
taught separately. Third, by the senten of substitution tables should be over-learnt
(completely memorized so that
36 | P a g e
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
students can rattle them off without effort) by the students before they start writ-
ing them as sentences in their exercise books.
(5) Vocabulary emphasis should be laid on lexical rather than gram-
matical units.
vocabulary problems: contrastive analysis of the vocabularies of the
native language and English language will reveal the following:
(a) Lexical units that are functionally the same in form, meaning and dis-
tribution in the two languages . These do not constitute learning prob-
lems.
(b) Lexical units that are functionally different in meaning , form, distribution
or a combination of them.These problems are of different types and
require different strategies for teaching and testing.
The chief problem types are:-
(i) Units that are similar in form but different in meaning, distribution
or both.
(ii) Units that are different in form but similar in meaning and distrib-
ution.
(iii) Units that are different in the pattern of form though similar in
meaning and distribution.
(iv) Units that represent a new meaning in the other language and
culture.
(v) Units with widely differentconnotations.
The teaching of vocabulary should be guided by a desire to resolve the
above problems. In fact, the teaching techniques will derive form them. It is rec-
ommended that words should be taught in context.
(6) Reading - Reading may be intensive as well as extensive. The primary of
intensive reading is to promote an intimate knowledge of the language while the chief aim
of extensive reading is to cultivate taste for general reading. It is suggested that
supplementary reading material may be provided to the students and the teachers should
guide them in making profitable use of
libraries and the available reading material.
(7) Translation. - Translation should be discarded as a method of teaching but
translation can be considered a useful exercise. However, it should be
.
37 | P a g e
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
remembered that transaction is not the matching of words and constructions of one
language,with those of the other language, The exercise should be used to develop the
Iearners, perception of the different conceptual systems and linguistic habits of the two
languages. Relationship should be established between concepts and words. One form of
translation exercise may be asking students to complete the translation already begun.
Some parts may already have been Ieft untranslated. Similarly, in a passage a number of
blanks may be left in the translation at places where sequence signals might be
necessary.
(8) Composition - The aim of composition in 'target language' is to give the learner
practice in manipulating his linguistic skills under the guidance of his fully or partially free
thinking and imagination to achieve a certain effect. ldeally, the teacher should be enable
the student to express anything and everything about his vastcosmos. In practice,
however, the, goal will have to be more mod-est. For economy's sake, the teacher should
choose those areas of the childs fantasy and environment which have a bearing on the
adolescent and adult life pattern. Composition exercise should be graded, proceeding from
the formingof, simple sentences. The topic for composition should be sufficiently specific.
Some forms of composition are more frequently needed than others. Our curriculum
should reflect that situation, Letters and descriptive and narrative prose should be some
ofthe forms of composition. Composition exercises should be varied.Some of them should
be objective, partial production, multiple choice exercises. The learner should be giventhe
vocabulary he needs in doing a composition exercise. The aim should be to release a
student's creativeabilities of thinking and of expression.
Class IX
(i) Narrative paragraph/passage writing,
(ii) Descriptive paragraph/passage writing.
(iii) Simple social and informal letters. Letters to relatives. Invitations (for-
mal and informal)
(iv) Telegrams: reading and writing. Filling in the forms-railway fare
con-cession, admission, examination, money order etc.
Class X
(I) Letters to Editors. Simple business letters.
(ii) Dialogues, dealing with simple situations of everyday life.
(iii) Recording of personal experience.
(iv) Summary writing / comprehension of exercises.
(v) Descriptive and Narrative essay writing.
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
- Distribution of time and size of class. It is suggested that of the six weekly periods
assigned to English 3 periods should be allotted to the teaching of the text and he
remaining 3 periods should be spent in doing written and oral exercises.It should also be
provided that the schools specifically design their time-table accordingly. It is
recommended that the number of students in a class should not exceed45. It is also
recommended that the composition class should not exceed d tudents. As far as possible
the same teacher should teach thtext and
composition. .

Structural, functional relationship and basic physiological phenomena
should be demonstrated as far as possible.
It is, therefore, necessary that the following points should be kept in mind:
(a) Concepts related to the physiological phenomena should be absolutely
clear.
(b) Teaching of physiological systems should be supported by adequate
charts and models.
(c) Dynamic phenomena which can be easily demonstrated must be
brought to the notice of the students.
For the Hygiene part of the course whenever possible, students should be
provided with the opportunity of group discussions, based on study of immediate
environment (with particular reference to that. very locality). Again the emphasis should be on the conditions prevailing in that
locality, health hazards involved and
means of improving them. The idea would be the motivation of such groups in a
30ntinues manner for improvement of the student's own environment.

INTRODUCTION
1. The study of Islamic History is of immense importance for promoting national inte-
gration and international understanding. Its study provides the students with the
opportunities of having realistic and pragmatic approach to various historical
activities of the Islamic Period.
2. Islamic History thus provides, basis of understanding between different periods
which ultimately leads to the promotion of national cohesion and
inter-brotherhood.
3. Islamic History is included as an elective subject in the scheme of studies for
the intermediate classes. As such, the curriculum proposed for this subject has
been so framed as to highlight the identity of the subject.
National
4. Curriculum formulation for Intermediate Class is a continuation of the
process which commenced about five years back in the light of the Education
policy 1979. We have traversed the road from the primary class-with some
clear objectives in view. These have been
pedagogical and psycho-
specific goals of each field of study. The Intermediate level, though a terminal
stage in its own right, spans a bridge over the secondary and higher education.
An effort has therefore been made to treat it from both angles so that a student
who discontinues his-studies after the Intermediate does not get lost and can
enter the struggle of life with some equipment to his credit.
5. A real effort has been made, as in the case of the earlier stages, to reflect
the latest development in various fields of knowledge as well as the latest
according to the requirements of the Intermediate
6. The updated curriculum will therefore be helpful in providing chances to the
students to be acquainted with the scientific approach to our goal as laid Education
Policy.

ECONOMICS
INTRODUCTION
The study of Economics is of great importance to our National building activities. Economic viability of a country is a sure
test of its survival and its transformation is a forerunner of overall transformation of a country. The importance of economics
overshadows that of any other subject. Since it makes human welfare as its direct concern, its knowledge is therefore more important
for us.
The study of economics has been introduced in the scheme of studies for classes IX-X as an elective subject. The main
purpose of teaching the subject is to equip the students with the knowledge of economics problems, human and material resources
and ways and means of optimum utilization of these resources. This may help students to become productive members of the society,
and effectively participate in the socio-economic development of the country.
The curriculum of economics for secondary classes has been designed keeping in view the requirements of the developing
economy of Pakistan and the expected role of the youth for its development. However, while formulating the curriculum mental growth
and curiosity of a student of this stage, have also been given due consideration. It is hoped that the study of this subject will
strengthen the foundations for higher study.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The major aims of teaching economics at secondary level are:-
1. To lure the students into the realm of practical aspects of the subject and to the description of economic history
rather than delving on lengthy problems and technical aspects of the subject.
2. To familiarise the students with those concepts of the traditional economic theory, that are most needed for
understanding the functioning and economic problems of Pakistan.
3. To present theory of economics as a unified body of concepts and ideas rather than a separate body of knowledge of
Micro/Macro economics. Examples from day to day economics activities in Pakistan, to be highlighted at this stage of
education.
4. To give a balanced course encompassing necessary knowledge about economic theory and the economy of
Pakistan.
GUIDELINES FOR THE TEXTBOOK WRITERS
The textbook writers, while planning their work must keep in mind the functions of a textbook as it is an aid to teaching
all the elements of curriculum. The details o curriculum formulated, should thoroughly be reflected in textual matter of the
books. The presentation of subject matter in an orderly and lucid manner coupled with instructional and pedagogic skills,
not only facilitates the task of the teacher but can also improve his method of teaching. It can equally facilitates the
pupils learning and train in ordering his thinking, resulting in to a style of good learning habits.
The book should be presented in a rational and logical manner best suited to the pupils mental level. The writers
should write the book in a style and format which may be appealing to the students. It should have sufficient illustrations to
present the textual matter adequately. The words and expressions used should be very simple and with in the grasp of the
students of secondary level. Examples in-corporated should be vivid, intelligible simple and related to our day-to-day living.
TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMME
The subject of economics, though introduced at various levels of education in Pakistan, has gained little popularity at
school level. It is mainly due to the in-adequate number of teachers and difficult style of text-books on the subject. At
present when new courses of study are being introduced throughout the country, it is hoped that students and the
teachers will be inclined to choose these courses because of their utility and comprehensiveness.
As the number of teachers with requisite qualification in the subject is not adequate, there is a dire need of training
a reasonable number of such teachers through in-service training courses, who had studied economics at least upto
the intermediate level. service training programme should be run by the teachers training institutions, universities and
other colleges which are well equipped with necessary training materials and facilities. The teachers to be designated for
these courses should be spared at the commencement of summer vacation, winter recess and spring holidays.
In addition, these is also a need for running refresher courses of four to six weeks duration for those teachers
who are entrusted with the task of teaching economics. This will be required because they may not be well versed
with the latest economics theories and concepts, mathematical and statistical tools and with the techniques of
disseminating the knowledge of economics appropriately. These refresher courses should be run by the Education
Extension centres, Institute of Education & Research or by other such institutions where the required facilities have
been provided for promoting teaching of the subject.
Distribution of Marks:-
The syllabus is divided into two sections. Section one is meant for class IX and section two for class X.Each section is
further divided into seven chapters, Each of the above two sections carry equal weightage.
75 | Pa g e
Scheme of Syllabus Board of Secondary Education, Karachi www.bsek.edu.pk
Relative proportion of marks/weightage for each chapter has been mentioned against respective chapters.
Total marks for the paper should be 100. The question paper should consist of both objective as well as essay
descriptive types of questions. Twenty five per cent and seventy five per cent of total marks respectively should be
allocated to each of the above types.
