Form 5 Alim
There were only 5 students who managed to bag
Grade A in the 2014 SPM examination compared to
2013 with 12 As. 10 students who were expected
to score Grade A in the 2014 SPM examination,
scored Grade B instead. One student expected to
get Grade B got C+ instead. 3 students scored
Grade C+. During the SPM examination, students
did mentioned Section D in Paper 2 being the
hardest.
As for Paper 1 Section B (Directed Writing),
students were happy with the titles given to them
as it was easy. Nevertheless, regardless of the titles
given to them, students would still have to write
essay with minimal grammatical errors to score
better Grades.

Suggestion 5 Alim 2015

Paper 2 Section B (Directed Writing)
Essay writing should be carried out in class at
least once every 2 weeks and markings by
teachers should be done meticulously.
Discussion on students errors must be
highlighted on the whiteboard and copied by
students as future references so as they wont
repeat the same mistakes when writing the
next week.
Before composing essay the next week,
teacher should direct students to their previous
essay to remind them of the errors theyve
committed. Hopefully it will help to minimize
students errors.
A copy of the table of tenses must be provided
early in the year to students for references
when composing essays.
 Teachers provide good and interesting sample
essays to trigger students creativity in writing.

Paper 1 Section D (The Curse-Novel)

Cover to cover understanding of the Novel is
vital. This will prepare students to face any
questions thrown to them especially in SPM
examination.
Sample questions in plenty should be provided
to serve as practice.

When answering, students must write short

summary of the Novel for paragraph 1 before
attacking the given question. This will help
them to secure marks for Language. Get
students to write the same short summary
every time in class so when they enter the
exam hall, it is already planted in their brain.

Form 5 Amal and 5 Adil

Two students score As. this students was able to
bag Grade A because his English level was quite
good. He proved to be better than few of the
candidates in 5 Alim last year. His good literacy
and proficiency in the language helped him score A
in the paper seventy students passed in the exam.
Two students score B, three students score C in this
class and fifty two other score a pass in the paper.
In this class, the methods used were as mention
below
i Implementation of The Program MBMMBI
(teachers & students)
ii. Tactical Planning- intensive class, revision,
vocabulary program, motivational Talk-tips
and techniques answering questions.
iii. Lesson study Teacher, modules for
students.

Form 5 Arif, 5 Adib & 5 Aman.

Even though there were no students from these
form 5 got Grade A or B for English paper, however
the passes students, were 47.
Drilling like exercises, questions, reading,
enrichment and remedial activities helped the
students to focus on this subject. Moreover full
usage of dictionaries, workbooks, reference book
also contribute to the passes percentage.
We found that the weaknesses more on
common problem such as grammar error,
spelling error, sentence and vocabularies.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO SPM ENGLISH
RESULT 2014 ACHIEVEMENT
(INCLINE AND DECLINE)
STRENGHT
PAPER 1 SECTION 1 (ESSAY)
Students were introduced with different format of
sample essays.
Students learn ways to earn easy marks.
Students learnt the technique of writing in this
section.

SECTION B (CONTINUOUS WRITING)

Students had written sample essay that they will
use in the exam regardless of the topic or titles.
Students just needed to memorize their essay and
put any one word title or topic.

PAPER 2
SECTION B (INFORMATION TRANSFER)
A lot of drilling in class because this is the easiest
section to obtain marks.
Students just needed to be meticulous in how they
transfer the information into spaces provided.
Students learn different types of question in
Information Transfer.
Students learn vocabularies that were usually used
in the questions

B SECTION C ( COMPREHENSION& SUMMARY)

Students were told to write any answer regardless
whether they understood the question or not.
They just have to lift any sentences from the
paragraph because each question was based on a
paragraph.
As a summary part, students were asked to lift any
sentence from the lines mention in the rubric. Once
again students were advised not to leave any
question.
SECTION D (POEM)
A lot of drilling and revising took place in class.
Even though students were taught in class, in the
end, students need to rely on their ability to
comprehend the demand of each question. Failure
to do so, cost some of them to fail. Throughout the
beginning till the end of the year, this section
proved to be very challenging not only to lower
literacy and proficiency students but also those
who were in 5 Alim class.

SECTION C (NOVEL)
We taught students to memorize the synopsis of
the novel.
Regardless of the question asked, students were to
write what they have memorized to at least obtain
more than 5/15 marks. This only applies to
students who have lower literacy and proficiency
levels.
