SCHEME OF WORK FOR GRADE 6

INTRODUCTION
The current curriculum is a newly revised version of the curriculum developed within the
primary education. The curriculum is based on the main principles of both the Mongolian
national and piloted curriculum for studying English as a second language. It corresponds
with the Low level A of the Common European Framework for Foreign Languages.

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 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.

Note. The learning objectives are expected to be taught in a learning context one regular
basis.
Some learning objectives have been reformulated in accordance to the cognitive levels of
Bloom's taxonomy to assess and evaluate the student's knowledge and abilities as it is
shown in the following table:

Learning objectives /previously


Learning objectives /reformulated/
formulated/

S6 Contribute a growing range of suitable


6.S6 Use an increasing range of suitable words,
words, phrases, and sentences during
phrases, and sentences during short pair, group and
short pair, group and whole class
whole class exchanges
exchanges
W8 Include a full stop and question mark,
6.W8 Use a full stop and question mark, comma during
comma during guided writing of short,
guided writing of short, familiar sentences
familiar sentences

To achieve learning objectives, learners will be able to develop their language


knowledge and skills in their lives and activities by increasing high-frequency vocabularies,
creating language knowledge and practicing during the day-to-day learning process.
Teachers should focus on encouraging learners‟ critical and creative thinking by using active
methods of teaching English in accordance to the learning objectives.
When assigning homework to learners, consider the followings:
- to figure out the learner's load to do lessons
- to take into account the level of student's knowledge and skills
- to give instructions to do tasks clearly to learners (how to perform, in what
sequence), especially in terms of creative reading and writing tasks, for instance,

When writing:
6
- To provide some new vocabularies when writing sentences or a paragraph
- To explain what grammar to use, including conjunctions and transition words,
prepositions, verb tenses, etc.
- To specify the website, source, and other materials to use

When reading, teachers may provide some strategies in reading /how to read, how to find out
information)
(The following tasks can be done):
- To obtain and classify information from reading sources
- To predict the meaning of new words from the context
- To keep notes
- To study sentence structures
- To make sentences using new words
- To write brief descriptions and summary after reading

hours of classroom English per week.

Approach to teaching and learning

A student-centered curriculum should support learners 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.

RECOMMENDATION FOR ASSESSMENT

Assessments can be formative or summative. Assessment of learners‟ 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 learners themselves
- peer assessment which is done by learners in pairs, groups or in a whole class
- nonverbal assessment which is done through giving positive reinforcement to learners
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 curricula to get acknowledged with
the different tasks and rubrics. The dimension and categories are subject to be changed and
modified towards to the learners‟ 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 learners‟ speaking skill progress could
use the following task.

Assessment for listening

The below given sample tasks can be used to assess the learners‟ listening knowledge and
skills.
- Listen and point to the things or follow instructions
- Listen and select the appropriate pictures
- Listen to the description and draw or color a picture
- Listen to the description and label a picture
- Listen to the records and match to pictures
- Listen to the records and sequence pictures
- Listen to the description or story and pick items on a simple chart
- Listen to and select the correct picture
- Put numbers for each picture or label under the given pictures

Example of 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 learners practice with pictures to ensure that they can recognize all of the nouns they
have learned.
There are given tasks to match the objects in different locations with the correct prepositions.
Encourage the learners to draw straight lines from each object to its location.
Part 2
Learners need to write a name or a number in answer to each question. Names which
learners are required to write will be spelled out for them. All the names come from familiar
topics to learners.

Where a number is required, learners should be encouraged to write numbers as digits
rather than words to avoid spelling mistakes. Learners will only hear numbers 1–100 so they
need plenty of practice in hearing, and recognizing, each of those numbers.
Part 3
This task consists of five questions, each a three-option multiple-choice with pictures.
Learners listen to the information conveyed in five separate dialogues in which the speakers
are clearly differentiated by age or gender. Learners 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.

What Do We Mean by „Ability to Read‟?

The first thing we have to do before designing formative assessment tasks for our learners 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 learners‟ 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 learners 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 learners 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 learners.

How to Assess/Give Feedback

The assessment involved in this task is mainly self-assessment where learners 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 learners, you can also use it to adjust your teaching
of reading and the formative assessment task itself. For instance, when you notice that many
learners appear to have difficulty with reading the news article, perhaps you can find simpler
articles for future tasks or simplify the articles.
Skills/Rationale Skills:
- Skimming to understand gist
- Scanning to locate specific information
- Reading for main ideas and supporting details
- Understanding explicitly stated information

Example of reading and writing test (20 minutes/25 items)

There are five parts. Each part begins with one or two examples. Correct spelling is required
in all parts of the reading and writing test.
30
Part 1
In this task learners read sentences. There are five statements, each accompanied by a
picture, and the learners have to place a tick in a box if the statement matches the picture,
and a cross if it does not.
Part 2
Learners look at a picture and five statements, some of which correctly describe the picture
and some which do not. Learners 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 learners write the word
for each object.
Part 4
Learners 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.

SCHEME OF WORK FOR GRADE 7

INTRODUCTION
The current curriculum is a newly revised version of the curriculum developed within the
primary education. The curriculum is based on the main principles of both the Mongolian
national and piloted curriculum for studying English as a second language. It corresponds
with the Low level A of the Common European Framework for Foreign Languages.

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 learners can explore their own ideas and thoughts
- 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.

Note. The learning objectives are expected to be taught in a learning context one regular
basis.
Some learning objectives have been reformulated in accordance to the cognitive levels of
Bloom's taxonomy to assess and evaluate the student's knowledge and abilities as it is
shown in the following table:

Learning objectives /previously


Learning objectives /reformulated/
formulated/

S7 Keep interaction going in short, basic


7.S7 interact in short, basic exchanges on a limited
exchanges on a limited range of general
range of general and curricular topics
and curricular topics

To achieve learning objectives, learners will be able to develop their language


knowledge and skills in their lives and activities by increasing high-frequency vocabularies,
creating language knowledge and practicing during the day-to-day learning process.
Teachers should focus on encouraging learners‟ critical and creative thinking by using active
methods of teaching English in accordance to the learning objectives.
When assigning homework to learners, consider the followings:
- to figure out the student's load to do lessons
- to take into account the level of student's knowledge and skills
- to give instructions to do tasks clear to learners (how to perform, in what
sequence), especially in terms of creative reading and writing tasks, for instance,

When writing:
- To provide some new vocabularies when writing sentences or a paragraph
32
- To explain what grammar to use, including conjunctions and transition words,
prepositions, verb tenses, etc.
- To specify the website, source, and other materials to use

When reading, teachers may provide some strategies in reading /how to read, how to find out
information)
(The following tasks can be done):
- To obtain and classify information from reading sources
- To predict the meaning of new words from the context
- To keep notes
- To study sentence structures
- To make sentences using new words
- To write brief descriptions and summary after reading

SCHEME OF WORK FOR GRADE 8

INTRODUCTION
The current curriculum is a newly revised version of the curriculum developed within the
primary education. The curriculum is based on the main principles of both the Mongolian
national and piloted curriculum for studying English as a second language. It corresponds
with the Low level A of the Common European Framework for Foreign Languages.

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.

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

Note. The learning objectives are expected to be taught in a learning context one regular
basis.
Some learning objectives have been reformulated in accordance to the cognitive levels of
Bloom's taxonomy to assess and evaluate the student's knowledge and abilities as it is
shown in the following table:

Learning objectives /previously


Learning objectives /reformulated/

To achieve learning objectives, learners will be able to develop their language


knowledge and skills in their lives and activities by increasing high-frequency vocabularies,
57
creating language knowledge and practicing during the day-to-day learning process.
Teachers should focus on encouraging learners‟ critical and creative thinking by using active
methods of teaching English in accordance to the learning objectives.
When assigning homework to learners, consider the followings:
- to figure out the learner's load to do lessons
- to take into account the level of learner's knowledge and skills
- to give instructions to do tasks clearly to learners (how to perform, in what
sequence), especially in terms of creative reading and writing tasks, for instance,

When writing:
- To provide some new vocabularies when writing sentences or a paragraph
- To explain what grammar to use, including conjunctions and transition words,
prepositions, verb tenses, etc.
- To specify the website, source, and other materials to use

When reading, teachers may provide some strategies in reading /how to read, how to find out
information)
(The following tasks can be done):
- To obtain and classify information from reading sources
- To predict the meaning of new words from the context
- To keep notes
- To study sentence structures
- To make sentences using new words
- To write brief descriptions and summary after reading

English Curriculum Content

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 2-3 weeks based on the provision of 3
hours of classroom English per week.

Module 1 Me and Module 2 Getting here Module 3 Different Module 4 Stuff

Approach to teaching and learning

A student-centred curriculum should support learners 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,
60
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

RECOMMENDATION FOR ASSESSMENT

Using Informal Assessments for English Language Learners

Informal assessments (also called authentic or alternative) allow teachers to track the
ongoing progress of their learners regularly and often. While standardized tests measure
learners at a particular point in the year, ongoing assessments provide continual snapshots
of where learners are throughout the school year. By using informal assessments, teachers
can target learners' 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.
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.
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 of listening test Approximately 25 minutes/25 items

There are five parts. Each part begins with one example. All recordings will be played twice.
Part 1
In this task, learners look at a picture which shows people doing different things. Above and
below are people‟s names. Learners 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 learners 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
Learners 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. Learners
listen to five separate dialogues in which the speakers are clearly differentiated by age or
gender. Learners 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. Learners listen to the dialogue
and follow the instructions

Example of speaking test 7–9 minutes/4 parts


The speaking test is a face-to-face test with a teacher and one student. It can last
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 of 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.
83
Part 1
In this task there are 15 words and 10 definitions. The words are not illustrated. Learners
match words to the corresponding definition by writing the correct words.
Part 2
Learners look at a picture and seven statements, some of which correctly describe the
picture and some which do not. Learners write „yes‟ or „no‟ as appropriate.
Part 3
Learners 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. Learners 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
Learners 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.
Learners choose the best title for the story from a choice of three.
Part 5
Learners 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 learners 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
Learners read a gapped text often in the form of a diary or a letter. Learners write one word
in each of the five gaps. There is no list of words for learners to choose from. Both lexis and
grammar are tested in this task.

SCHEME OF WORK FOR GRADE 9

INTRODUCTION
The current curriculum is a newly revised version of the curriculum developed within the
primary education. The curriculum is based on the main principles of both the Mongolian
national and piloted curriculum for studying English as a second language. It corresponds
with the Low level A of the Common European Framework for Foreign Languages.

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.

Note. The learning outcomes are taught in regular student learning and language practice
activities in learning objectives. The improvement of some learning objectives is in
accordance to the cognitive levels of Bloom's taxonomy to assess and evaluate the student's
knowledge and abilities. We show the following learning objectives:

general and curricular topics

To achieve learning objectives, learners will be able to develop their language


knowledge and skills in their lives and activities by increasing high-frequency vocabularies,
creating language knowledge and practicing during the day-to-day learning process.
Teachers should focus on encouraging learners‟ critical and creative thinking by using active
methods of teaching English in accordance to the learning objectives.
When assigning homework to learners, consider the followings:
- to figure out the learner's load to do lessons
- to take into account the level of learner's knowledge and skills
- to give instructions to do tasks clearly to learners (how to perform, in what
87
sequence), especially in terms of creative reading and writing tasks, for instance,

When writing:
- To provide some new vocabularies when writing a paragraph or a description
- To explain what grammar to use, including conjunctions and transition words,
prepositions, verb tenses, etc.
- To specify the website, source, and other materials to use

When reading, teachers may provide some strategies in reading /how to read, how to find out
information)
(The following tasks can be done):
- To obtain and classify information from reading sources
- To predict the meaning of new words from the context
- To keep notes
- To study sentence structures
- To make sentences using new words
- To write brief descriptions and summary after reading

- 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:
- On going
- 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 2-3 weeks based on the provision of 3
hours of classroom English per week.

Approach to teaching and learning

A student-centred curriculum should support learners 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

RECOMMENDATION FOR ASSESSMENT

Speaking assessment

At the grade 9 learners 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.
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 learners. 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
109
demonstration can be quite simple or quite elaborate so works with all levels and ages of
learners.
Examples:
Demonstrate how to make your favourite recipe, describing what you are doing in English.
Total Physical Response: Touch your head. Raise your left hand. Close your eyes.

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

112
evaluate and grade your learners. 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
- Playing games
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 of listening assessment

Self-assessment statement for listening: I can do

Low A1/MidA1
- I can understand simple everyday classroom expressions.
- I can follow very slow speech with long pauses for me to get the meaning.
- I can understand questions and instructions and follow short, simple directions.
- I can understand times, numbers and frequently used words and expressions on a
familiar topic.
High A1/Low B1
- I can understand enough to manage simple routine exchange without too much effort.
- I can generally identify the topic of discussion around me which is produced slowly
and clearly.
- I can understand phrases and expressions related to the everyday life situations.
- I can understand essential information from short passages on everyday topics which
are spoken slowly and clearly.

Sample rubric for listening

This form is designed to help you evaluate a student‟s skill in listening. Read the statements
below. Then indicate the number from the following scale that reflects your assessment of
the student‟s mastery of this skill.

1 = Weak 2 = Moderately Weak 3 = Average 4 = Moderately Strong 5 = Strong


1. The student determines exactly what he or she needs to know. 12345
2. The student pays careful attention to relevant verbal information. 12345
3. The student asks effective questions to clarify verbal information. 12345
4. The student encourages others to present information and opinions. 12345
