Language so that, they could speak, write and apply it inside and outside of the school.

Objectives of the English Language Syllabus in Primary Schools

Pupils should be able to:

iii) To read and understand different kinds of texts (from print and electronic sources) for enjoyment and information;
iv) Write (including e-mail) for different purposes using simple language; and
v) Show an awareness and appreciation of moral values and love towards the nation.
Focus of the English Language Syllabus
Pupils must know how to:

1) Listen – This skill is very important to pupils because it could enhance the understanding of English Language. Teacher
must provide the song, rhymes and stories to make the student listen and focus. Pupils also could learn different skills such
as recalling the ideas, give details and talking about the ideas that they heard and listen.
2) Speaking – speaking is very important to provide the pupils with better pronunciations, way to speak and the way to say it
(phonetics). The activity like drama, discussion and role – playing could boost up their confidence level to speak.
3) Reading – Pupils should be able to read the English text by their own. This is very important because if they don’t know how
to read, they could not generate ideas from the text given. Teacher must encourage the pupils to read and the teacher must
show them to read and repair the pronunciation if wrong.
4) Writing – Pupils must know how to write simple text and generate ideas. By reading, listening and speaking the pupils could
improve their writing.
