  1. Implementation of 2010 Syllabus and Revised Assessment Framework at Primary 4 in 2013 Briefing for Parents Monday 8 April 2013

  2. The EL Syllabus 2010 • The revised 2010 English Language (EL) Syllabus is implemented at Primary Four from 2013. • It has been implemented from 2010 at Primary 1 and 2 for primary schools. • The key influences in the revision process: • More systematic and effective way of learning language • Digital technology • Changing profile of our learners • Globalisation of language in an increasingly complex world.

  3. The EL Syllabus 2010 • The new syllabus is an evolution of the former 2001 EL syllabus. • It will continue to emphasize on ‘effective communication’ such that our pupils will be able to communicate effectively and confidently and be well prepared for the next stage of learning. • Teachers will continue to emphasize the teaching of internationally acceptable English (Standard English) to our pupils. • Students who are taught the new syllabus will sit for the revised Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) EL papers in 2015.

  4. The EL Syllabus 2010 • A key feature of the new EL Syllabus is a systematic approach to teaching language skills, using rich texts and a variety of language resources to enable students to appreciate the language beyond the classroom. • This approach is delivered through the Strategies for English Language Learning and Reading (STELLAR) programme in primary schools.

  5. The EL Syllabus 2010 • The revised PSLE English Language (EL) and Foundation English Language (FEL) examination papers will be introduced from 2015, in line with thechanges to the teaching syllabus. • The language skills tested in the revised PSLE are the same as those tested in the current PSLE.

  6. The EL Syllabus 2010 • The EL revised examination papers beginning in 2013 will give greater emphasis to the 21st century competencies in the teaching syllabus by: • Giving students greater scope for providing personal response in speaking and writing; • Greater emphasis on viewing skills integrated with listening and reading.

  9. How assessment helps : • identify pupils’ strengths and weaknesses. • adjust the instructional programme to meet pupils’ needs. • monitor pupils’ progress. • give feedback to parents on their child’s learning at the appropriate stages of development. • provide information on pupils’ readiness for the next level of education or course of study.

  10. What do we assess? • Listening, Reading and Viewing Teach pupils to listen, read, view, speak, write and represent to demonstrate their language competence.

  11. What do we assess? • Speaking, Writing and Representing Teach pupils how to use English effectively, in a sustained manner and with increasing ease to suit purpose, audience, context and culture as well as in both formal and informal situations.

  12. What do we assess? • Grammar and Vocabulary Teach pupils knowledge about language so that they can use the language effectively for creative, personal, academic and functional purposes.
