P R E F C E

This teacher’s guidebook serves as a guide  to teachers with regard to the learning standardsthat should be achieved. It covers some aspects of the language skills, language arts as wellas the suggested word list required to be taught in Year Two.

Section 1 of the guidebook provides an overview of the English Language Curriculum whileSection 2 deals with the four language skills as well as language arts. Suggested activities arepresented in a 3-column table for each module. The first is the activity column wheresuggested activities for teachers include explanations and teaching steps. The second is thecontent column which includes teaching points and the suggested word list. The third is theteachers’ notes column  which includes teaching aids/materials and other instructions forteachers.

Section 3 consists of complete sample lessons. In this section, teachers will be able to see andunderstand how the different language skills and language arts modules are presented for eachweek, based on one particular theme and topic, in a coherent and cohesive manner. Finally,Section 4 provides teachers with sample assessment checklists which the teacher can use toconduct formative assessment in the classroom. These complete sample lessons are providedto help teachers plan effective and enjoyable lessons.

The guidebook provides suitable and practical suggestions of teaching methods via thematerials provided. However, teachers are in a better position to make appropriate and relevantdecisions when planning their lessons. There is no single ‘best way’ and teachers have to usetheir pedagogical content knowledge, experience, skills and creativity to plan their lessons in

order to help their pupils learn better. Teachers should decide on a theme/topic and then selectsuitable listening and speaking, reading, writing and language arts activities to be used forteaching that topic. Teachers are also encouraged to use activities from the MOE Teachingcourseware, the textbook and other suitable resources when planning their lessons.

 Assessment is an important aspect of the teaching-learning process. Continuous formativeassessment is used as a means of gaining essential feedback and to keep track of pupils’progress. Awareness of pupils’ capabilities will enable teachers to plan activities for furtherdevelopment. Teachers should set school based assessments for learning standards dealt within the classroom.

This guide book provides some suggestions for the acquisition of the four language skills.

Teachers need to use their initiative, imagination and creativity in planning their lessons in orderto extend the experiences of their pupils. It is hoped that teachers will find this guidebook usefuland pupils will enjoy the activities and hence improve their English language proficiency.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Primary education is divided into two stages: Stage One refers to Years 1,2 and 3,and Stage Two, Years 4, 5 and 6. The English Language Curriculum has beendesigned in two strands. Strand 1 is the language focus and strand 2 is languagearts. Language focus deals with language skills such as listening & speaking,reading, writing and grammar. Language arts deals with music, poetry, drama and

children‟s literature. 

 As English language learning is developmental, the focus in Years 1 and 2 is basicliteracy. This is done by building a strong foundation in basic literacy skills namelyreading through phonics, penmanship and basic listening and speaking. Activitiesare contextualized and fun-filled with integration of language skills in meaningfulcontexts.

In Year 3 and onwards, pupils will further develop the ability to speak, listen, readand write in English meaningfully, purposefully and with confidence. A grammarmodule is introduced from Year 3 to enable pupils develop a sound grasp of thelanguage structures and rules of grammar.

The Language Arts module has been added to the English language curriculum fromYear 1 to allow pupils to engage and enjoy stories, poems, songs, rhymes and playswritten in English.

CURRICULUM ORGANISATION

The curriculum is modular in design and this is reflected in the organisation of thecontent and learning standards.

In Years 1 and 2, the English language curriculum emphasises the development ofbasic language skills so that pupils will have a strong foundation to build theirproficiency in the language. In this initial stage, there will only be four modules;

namely:

1. Listening and Speaking2. Reading3. Writing4. Language Arts

From Year 3 onwards, where pupils build on the skills they have acquired in Years 1and 2, a fifth module, Grammar, is added to the above four modules. Therefore, the

modules for this stage are:

1. Listening and Speaking2. Reading3. Writing4. Language Arts5. Grammar

The following diagram shows the conceptual framework of the curriculum model.

Fig.1 The Modular Configuration

The modularity of the English Language Curriculum Standards for Primary Schools isa modularity of focus. By organising the curriculum standards under five modules(four for Years 1 and 2), pupils will be able to focus on the development of salientlanguage skills or sub-skills under each module through purposeful activities inmeaningful contexts. This modular approach does not exclude integration of skills.However, skills integration is exploited strategically to enhance pupils‟ developmentof specific and specified language skills as described in the content and learningstandards in a module.

The approach taken in this curriculum stresses the need for pupils to develop all thefour language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Teachers are expectedto sustain a cohesive and coherent organisation between the listening and speaking,reading and writing skills. For the language arts module, teachers may plan lessonsin relation to the language skills taught or they may come up with generic lessons.

Teachers should incorporate the fun element in specified contexts to make theirlessons meaningful.

In order to make learning more meaningful and purposeful, language input ispresented under themes and topics, which are appropriate for the pupils.

Three broad themes which have been used in KBSR have been retained and will beused, namely:

1. World of Self, Family and Friends;2. World of Stories; and3. World of Knowledge.

Teachers select topics that are suitable for their pupils‟  level of development. Whenplanning lessons, topics for teaching are initially based on the immediate learningenvironment of the child. Later on, these are expanded to town, country and moredistant foreign locations.

ROLE OF THE TEACHER

The teacher is the role model of a language user to pupils. Pupils need to beexposed to good language in order for them to learn the language and use it foreffective communication. Therefore, the teacher needs to do a lot of talking in orderfor pupils to listen to good language input. For this purpose, the teacher uses avariety of materials or media to enable pupils to acquire the receptive and productiveskills. Fun language activities will have to be devised by the teacher in order to tappupils‟ interest and engage them in communication.

The Standard-Based English Language Curriculum for Malaysian Primary Schools isdesigned to provide pupils with a strong foundation in the English language.Teachers will use Standard British English as a reference and model for teaching thelanguage. It should be used as a reference for spelling and grammar as well as

pronunciation for standardisation.

Good time management is also essential. Keeping in mind the time allocated forteaching English in SK and SJK schools is different; lessons should be organized in amanageable form in order to give pupils every opportunity to take part in languageactivities.

In order to facilitate and maximise learning, language skills must be repeated andused constantly. Some activities have been suggested in this book. However,teachers are encouraged to design more creative and challenging tasks and activitiesbased on the needs and interests of pupils. This is important so that appropriateactivities and materials are used with pupils of different learning profiles with theintention of helping them to realise their full potential and enable them to graduallydevelop the ability, knowledge and confidence to use the language effectively.

LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILLS

Overview

Listening and speaking are seen as core skills of early literacy. As such, pupilsshould be taught:

how to listen carefully;

Page 17: English Teacher Guidebook Year 2

to speak from the basic level of sound, word, phrase and structural sentencesin various situational contexts;

the stress, rhythm and intonation patterns and how to use them correctly;

to recognise, understand and use not only verbal but also non-verbal

communication; and

oral communication practice by means of repeating, responding,understanding and applying structures of the language in order to preparethem for communication.

In order to achieve the abovementioned, content and learning standards have beendeveloped from basic listening and speaking, and then progressing to communicatingin various situations effectively.

Content Standards

By the end of the six-year primary schooling, pupils will be able to:

The content standards above are achieved through learning standards that havebeen devised carefully throughout primary schooling. Learning standards have beendeveloped from basic listening and speaking in order for pupils to grasp the soundsof the English language before learning to articulate words and phrases. This issupported with a „flooding of English sounds and words‟ by the teacher especially in

cases where pupils do not have any exposure to the English language.

1.1 pronounce wordsand speak confidentlywith the correctstress, rhythm andintonation.

1.2 listen and respondappropriately in formaland informal situationsfor a variety ofpurposes.

1.3 understand andrespond to oral textsin a variety ofcontexts.

The learning standards begin with basic listening and speaking skills which havebeen developed incrementally in this manner :

develop pupils‟ phonemic awarenessengage in fun learning activities such as reciting rhymes, poems andtongue twisters as well as singing songs

participate in daily conversationsfollow and give instructions and directionsable to participate in conversationstalk on topics of interest

Relationships are established through the ability to communicate by listening firstthen speaking thoughts, ideas and feelings. Pupils should aim at becoming confidentspeakers who can communicate clearly, appropriately and coherently in any givencontext using language to explore the possibilities and opportunities. Pupils need tolisten carefully and respond to what others say and think about the needs of theirlisteners. Social conventions in listening and speaking such as turn taking, politenessand courtesy need to be observed. These are crucial especially in group discussions

where viewpoints and opinions are exchanged.

READING SKILL

Overview

The teaching of reading skills:

enables pupils to become independent readers who are able to comprehenda text effectively and efficiently.

begins at the word and phrase levels before progressing to sentencerecognition and reading at the paragraph level.

focuses on basic literacy with the use of phonics in Years 1 and 2.

teaches pupils to extract specific information from a text and respond to a textwith their own ideas and opinions.

In order to achieve the abovementioned, content and learning standards have beendevised progressively. The teaching of reading in the early stages begins at theword and phrase levels before progressing to sentence recognition and reading atthe paragraph level. Gradually, pupils are taught to extract specific information froma text and to respond to a text with their own ideas and opinions.

Content Standards

By the end of the six-year primary schooling, pupils will be able to:

The content standards above are achieved through learning standards that havebeen devised carefully throughout primary schooling. Learning standards have beendeveloped from recognition of sounds in order for pupils to acquire the sounds of theEnglish language before learning to blend and segment words. This is furtherdeveloped through vocabulary activities to widen pupils‟ vocabulary. By the end ofYear 6, pupils are able to read and demonstrate understanding of text for informationas well as read for enjoyment.

The learning standards begin with basic literacy which has been developedincrementally in this manner :

distinguish the shapes of the letters;recognise and articulate phonemes;blend and segment words;apply word recognition and word attack skills to acquire vocabulary;read and understand phrases, simple sentences and texts; andread independently for information and enjoyment.

2.1 apply knowledge ofsounds of letters torecognize words inlinear and non-lineartexts.

2.2 demonstrate understandingof a variety of linear and

non-linear texts in the formof print and non-printmaterials using a range ofstrategies to constructmeaning.

2.3 read independentlyfor information andenjoyment.

10

The reading aloud strategy is also encouraged in the first two years of primaryeducation:

Teacher reads aloud a text  to pupils. Implementing this strategy allowsteachers to model reading.

Here, articulation and pronunciation of words by the teacher have to be as

precise as possible for pupils to efficiently imitate and reproduce correctly.

This strategy effectively engage pupils in a text that may be too difficult forthem to read on their own, hence, pupils sit back and enjoy the story.

Teachers should also carry out shared reading strategies in the classroom:

During shared reading, the teacher and pupils read together ,  thus allowingpupils to actively participate and support one another in the process ofreading.

Teachers point to the text as they read slowly for word recognition and to“build a sense of story”. 

Ultimately, the objective of getting pupils to read a variety of texts enables pupils tosee how grammar is used correctly so that they can emulate them in their productiveskills; speaking and writing. Reading for enjoyment and pleasure in seekinginformation and knowledge should be inculcated in pupils. Pupils are also trained togive their own ideas and opinions in order to become efficient readers.

WRITING SKILL

Overview

It is expected that by the end of Year 6 :

pupils will be able to express their ideas clearly on paper in legiblehandwriting or to communicate via the electronic media.

the focus of writing is on developing pupils‟ writing ability beginning at theword and phrase levels before progressing to the sentence and paragraphlevels.

pupils who are capable must be encouraged to write simple compositionscomprising several paragraphs.

attention is also paid to penmanship so that even from a young age, pupilsare taught to write clearly and legibly including cursive writing.

simple compositions and the various steps involved in writing, such asplanning, drafting, revising, and editing are taught. In the process, pupilslearn the genre approach to writing as they are taught to use appropriatevocabulary and correct grammar to get their meaning across clearly.

11

all pupils will be encouraged to write for different purposes and for differentaudiences.

although much of the writing at this level is guided, the amount of control isrelaxed for pupils who are able and proficient in the language.

spelling and dictation are also given emphasis.

To achieve the abovementioned, content and learning standards have been devisedprogressively. The teaching of writing in the early stages begins with pre-writingactivities to develop pupils‟ visual skills as well as develop hand-eye coordination.This is later developed to writing letters of the alphabet and copying words, phrasesand simple sentences. Pupils begin constructing simple sentences with the teacher‟sguidance and later develop to become independent writers by the end of primaryschooling.

Content Standards

By the end of the six year primary schooling, pupils will be able to:

Content standards are achieved through learning standards that have been devised

carefully throughout primary schooling. Learning standards have been developedprogressively, from acquiring fine motor control of hands and fingers to copying

3.1 form letters andwords in neat legibleprint includingcursive writing.

3.3 write and present ideasthrough a variety ofmedia.

3.2 write using appropriatelanguage, form and stylefor a range of purposes.

12

writing activities, before being taught to write with guidance linear and non-lineartexts using appropriate language, form and style. The use of various media is alsoencouraged and pupils can create both linear and non-linear texts with guidance orindependently.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Overview

The rationale behind Language Arts is to steer the continuous growth anddevelopment of pupils‟ thinking and language abilities. The standards for Language Arts:

cover a range of creative and literary works in English such as rhymes,songs, poems, stories and plays to activate pupils‟ imagination and interest.

allow pupils to benefit from hearing and using language from fictional as wellas non-fictional sources.

allow pupils to gain rich and invaluable experiences using the Englishlanguage through fun-filled and meaningful activities.

train pupils to be able to appreciate, demonstrate understanding and expresspersonal responses to literary and creative works for enjoyment. Hence theywill also be able to use English for both functional as well as aestheticpurposes, confidently and competently by the end of Year 6.

In order to achieve the abovementioned, content and learning standards have beendevised progressively. The teaching of language arts will help pupils develop theiroral and analytical skills as well as hone their creativity. Language Arts createsample opportunities for pupils to speak in English in a very relaxed atmosphere andthis will help increase pupils‟ confidence in using the English language.

Content Standards

By the end of the six year primary schooling, pupils will be able to:

The culmination of all content standards in language arts will be shown in practicewhen pupils are able to come up with their very own production. By the end of Year6, pupils will learn the art of acting out, play-acting and producing works of creativitysuch as drawings, poems or singing. Pupils will also learn values of cooperating withpeople of different race, gender, ability, cultural heritage, religion, economic, socialbackground, and, understand and appreciate the values, beliefs and attitudes ofothers. Each pupil will also develop knowledge, skills and attitudes, which willenhance his or her own personal life management and promote positive attitudes.

Assessment

 Assessment is necessary to assess pupils‟ achievement in terms of acquisition of

knowledge, skills and the application of values through activities conducted in the

4.1 enjoy and appreciaterhymes, poems andsongs throughperformance.

4.2 express personalresponse toliterary texts.

4.3 plan, organize andproduce creativeworks forenjoyment.

classroom. Assessment also supports pupils‟ learning and gives pertinent feedbackto teachers, pupils and parents about their development and achievement.

There are two types of school-based assessment. Formative assessment isconducted during the teaching and learning process in the classroom to gauge theacquisition of skills and knowledge during the learning process. Summativeassessment is usually conducted at the end of learning, usually at the end of a

learning unit, month or semester whereby the focus is on the end product.

School-based assessment can be carried out during the teaching-learning process.The teaching-learning process can be conducted in or outside the classroom. Belowis a diagram suggesting some types of assessment which can be carried out both inand outside the classroom:

Classroom observations are useful tools for teachers to assess their pupils ‟ performance. Teachers observe pupils‟ oracy skills as they engage in conversationsamong peers and when they take part in oral presentations. Teachers can prepare achecklist to record their pupils‟  progress. Perhaps, pupils can speak during theschool assembly, put up a performance in front of an audience, and watch a puppetshow or listen to a story. Talking about these events can help teachers assesspupils‟ listening and speaking skills.

 Assessment of reading comprehension can be carried out by setting comprehensionquestions. Other comprehension activities which can be used to assesscomprehension are the use of graphic as well as semantic organisers, story maps,question generation and summarisation. Pupils‟ writing skills can be assessedthrough written projects, tests, exams and class exercises. Teachers can also honepupils‟ writing skills through journal and diary writing, the production of creative workssuch as poems, writing scripts, dialogues as well as lyrics of songs.

Creative works such as portfolios, masks, puppets, props and other creativeproductions produced during the language arts lessons can also be assessed. Activities conducted during language arts lessons such as singing action songs,reciting rhymes or poems, choral speaking, drama, public speaking as well as role-play can be assessed.

 Assessment should also provide pupils with opportunities for self-assessment usingknown criteria and pupils should be given input on the evaluation process. In anutshell, teachers should utilise a variety of assessment techniques to monitor theirpupils‟ language growth and development.  The on-going process of assessing classexercises and homework should be continued. The main purpose of this is to provide

immediate feedback to the pupils in guiding, motivating, correcting and refocusingtheir efforts.

WORD LIST

The list of words selected for teaching is based on common words and highfrequency words that can be used repetitively in different contexts. The suggestedword list can be expanded upon if pupils demonstrate an ability to acquire morewords.

The theory of Multiple Intelligences encompasses eight different intelligences humanbeings possess. These intelligences are essential in order to maximise teaching andlearning in the classroom. .

Constructivism

Constructivism will enable pupils to build new knowledge and concepts based onexisting knowledge or schema that they have. The teacher assists pupils to acquirenew knowledge and solve problems through pupil-centred active learning.

Contextual Learning

Contextual Learning is an approach to learning which connects the contents beinglearnt to the pupils‟ daily lives, the community around them and the working world.Learning takes place when pupils are able to relate the new knowledge acquired in ameaningful manner in their lives.

What’s in store for ear Two pupils

The Year Two English Language Syllabus

THE LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILL

The listening and speaking skills are taught together for effective communication, asthese skills are inter-related and dependent on each other.

The listening and speaking lessons would familiarise pupils to the sounds aroundthem. In these lessons pupils need to:

a) tune into sounds (auditory discrimination),b) listen and remember the sounds (auditory memory and sequencing), andc) talk about the sounds (developing vocabulary and language comprehension).

These can be attained through fun language activities conducted in or outside theclassroom that include nature walks, using musical instruments, songs, chants,rhymes, body percussion and even listening to a story.

The suggested activities recommended in this section could be used in a variety oflessons by adapting and adopting them in order to teach the sounds of the Englishlanguage. This skill is the onset to providing a broad and rich language experiencefor pupils to learn language by engaging in enjoyable learning activities.

pupils need to be exposed togood language with theteacher being the role model 

uses a variety of materials ormedia to enable pupils toacquire the receptive skill oflistening and the productive skillof speaking 

expose pupils to rich language input in

accordance to Standard BritishEnglish (SBE) as well as getting pupilsto talk and communicate effectively

THE READING SKILL

The reading component aims to develop progressively, pupils’ ability to read andcomprehend a paragraph of 5-8 simple sentences.

The processes of blending and segmenting for reading and spelling are madeenjoyable and easy for pupils to understand and apply. Lessons and activities shouldfocus on particular phonemes and make these phonemes familiar to pupils. Then,provide enough practice so that pupils can identify the phonemes in words. For earlypractice, teachers could help pupils to recognize the phoneme at the beginning ofwords before progressing to having them recognize the phoneme elsewhere in theword. For this, illustrations may be very useful. Teachers are encouraged to becreative and to explore ways of language play available to help pupils become

familiar with the phonemes. The benefits of language play are numerous. Languageplay involves having fun with the sounds of words, creating new words, and exploringand creating language patterns through rhymes, chants, alliteration and repetitions.

apply knowledge of letter sounds to recognizewords in reading texts, which is an essentialand useful early reading skill 

pupils’ phonemic awareness will bedeveloped by means of phonics 

use songs, rhymes, poems, stories, pictures andgames to make phonics instruction more enjoyable 

teachers should allow pupils to use phonics, and make meaningfulconnections and encourage them to pronounce and articulate  thesounds in a non-restrictive and joyful environment.

THE WRITING SKILL

The writing module for Year 2 reflects the progression of skills ranging from writingwords, phrases, to simple sentences in neat handwriting, to the ability to write simplesentences using a variety of media with guidance.

 As pupils begin to read, they will be able to copy words, phrases and sentencescorrectly as well as complete other writing tasks by matching, rearranging words andcompleting lists and messages. When pupils are ready, more difficult writing taskssuch as writing sentences with the correct spelling and punctuation can beincorporated. This activity can be conducted in the classroom by introducing parallel

writing and then moving on to constructing simple sentences. Pupils are also taughtto create simple non-linear texts using a variety of media.

ability to write words,phrases and simplesentences in neat, legiblerint

ability to write numerals innumeral and word form

ability to spell and write simplesentencs with guidance. 

ability to create simplenon-linear texts using a

variety of media withguidance.

LANGUAGE ARTS

The introduction of the language arts module encompasses the production aspect ofthe skills learnt during the listening and speaking, reading and writing modules.

.

enjoy and appreciate language usingstories, poetry, rhymes and plays

encourage pupils’ to perform a song orrhyme or role play a story learnt using theircreativity in a fun-filled, non-threateningand enjoyable environment 

The main focus of this component islanguage in action in a fun environmentwhere pupils engage in multi-sensorylearning according to their learningabilities.

THE LISTENING ND SPE KING SKILLThe listening and speaking skill is crucial for social communication at home, at school,as well as in the community. However, this skill is often neglected or given minimalemphasis during English lessons. In order to develop this skill, teachers have to providetheir pupils with various opportunities to listen and to talk about a range of subjects

which may include topics on personal interests, school work and even current affairs. Itis hoped that the learning standards will offer teachers some ideas on how they couldprovide opportunities for pupils to engage in various listening and speaking activities atYear Two. 

The Listening and Speaking Content and Learning Standards for Year 2 are as follows:Content Standards  Learning Standards

THE RE DING SKILL

By the end of Year Two, pupils should be able to apply knowledge of sounds of letters

to recognize words in order to begin reading and then move on to more complex skills

using a range of strategies to construct meaning from the text read. The ultimate goal

of the reading component in primary school is to produce pupils who will be able to read

independently for information and enjoyment. Pupils of Year 2 will have to acquire the

sounds to be learnt as stipulated in the learning standard 2.2.1 before they reinforce the

new sounds learnt to form words learnt by blending these sounds. Pupils learn how to

spell by segmenting words and then move on to read phrases and sentences.

The learning standards covered in Year 2 are as follows:

These phonemes are to be taught in sequence as stipulated in the learning

standard 2.1.1 (a)  –  (g). The sounds presented in the table above are not in

chronological order as found in the learning standard. They have been classified

according to phonemes and have various graphemes, which represent a particular

phoneme. Teachers should tell pupils that the phonemes might represent different

graphemes.

For example the phoneme /eI/, is represented by the grapheme “ai”, “a-e” and “ay”

which are present in the following words rain, race and day.

The phonemes learnt can be introduced using various teaching strategies such

as singing songs, telling stories, reciting rhymes, playing games as well as drilling in

order to reinforce the learning of these phonemes.

Phonemes taught in Year One are reinforced in Year Two before teaching

phonemes to be learnt in Year Two as stipulated in the learning standards. The

following are the phonemes learnt in Year One:
