Introduction: An interactive English Learning Module for Grade 9 is designed to meet the needs of the 21st
century learners. It seeks to help teachers to maximize the effective use of the module to the learners which
designed as a holistic approach in developing the basic learning competencies in English of the K-12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The learner’s module content-activities for the EN9LC-IIf-8.7: Draw Conclusions Based on the Text
Listened To competency are geared towards the Philippine Secondary Schools Learning Competencies
(PSSLC) circularized in 1998. It encourages the learners to enhance their development of communicative
competence through a guided approach to practice these generalizations in reading, listening, speaking and
writing skills.

Objectives: At the end of this module, the students shall be able to:

1. draw conclusions based on evidence acquired during reading;

2. use comprehension skill in drawing conclusions or making inferences;

3. draw appropriate inferences and conclusions from text and picture and;

4. use prior knowledge and clues from the story to draw appropriate conclusions.

(Answer the ENGAGE part of your LAS.)

EXPLAIN:

What’s In?

Drawing conclusions is an important skill for readers to learn because it encourages readers to pay
attention to what they are reading, use what they know from life experiences, and look at the details and facts in
the text as clues that will help them draw conclusions about what is meant but not explicitly stated. Take note
that:

 The ability to draw conclusions while reading is an important comprehension skill.

 It requires readers to connect background knowledge and experiences with information in the text in
order to go beyond the literal meaning of words on the page.
 Even with careful teaching, this skill, like most others, needs to be reinforced at different levels of
complexity if children are to grow and develop at the most effective pace.
 In any class, for example, some students will have no difficulty drawing conclusions; in fact, they will
need to be challenged if they are to extend what they already know about making inferences.
 Other students will be able to draw conclusions successfully with some instruction.
 Most likely, there will be some who will need a great deal of support in order to flourish independently.

EXPLAIN!

What do we mean by “Making Inferences”?

People make inferences and draw conclusions about things they see, hear, and read in everyday
life. For example, if you are at the store and see an elderly person staring at an item that is high on a shelf, you
may infer that this person wants that item. As a result, you may offer to get it for him or her. Learning how to
make inferences and draw conclusions can help you become a good observer of the world around you and
become a better communicator.

 Making inferences is a skill with which students often need much practice.
 An inference is an assumed fact based on available information.
 Inferences and conclusions from that analysis can be powerful tools for understanding people and the
decisions that they make.
 A drawn conclusion is an assumption developed as a next logical step for the given information.
Drawing conclusions refers to information that is implied or inferred.
 This means that the information is not clearly stated.
 Writers often tell you more than they say directly.
 They give you hints or clues that help you "read between the lines."
 Using these clues to give you a deeper understanding of your reading is called inferring.
 When you infer, you go beyond the surface details to see other meanings that the details suggest or
imply (not stated).
 When the meanings of words are not stated clearly in the context of the text, they may be implied - that
is, suggested or hinted at.
 When meanings are implied, you may infer.

Read the following passages and see examples of how to identify subtext in readings by making inferences
and drawing conclusions.

1. After making a speech about the importance of studying, the instructor started passing the graded
exams back to the class. Pausing by Ronelio's desk, he said, "Ronelio, I'd like to speak with you for a moment
after class." Hearing this, Ronelio put his head down on his desk.

What are the significant details from the reading?

 Instructor talking about studying

 Instructor passing back graded exams
 Instructor asking to speak with Ronelio after class
 Ronelio putting his head down on his desk

What are some of your own experiences related to the reading?

 When an instructor wants to speak with you after class, it's usually bad.

What conclusion could be made?

 Ronelio probably did poorly on his exam.

2
2. Paulina was excited to get to campus and sign up for classes. After last semester, she knew she could do
anything she put her mind to.

What are the significant details from the reading?

 Paulaina was signing up for classes.

 She was excited.
 She was a student last semester.

What are some of your own experiences related to the reading?

 Students become more confident and excited when they have had good experiences with their instructors
and classes.

What conclusion could be made?

 Paulaina probably had at least one very good instructor, worked hard last term, and earned good grades.
Her success has given her enough confidence that she now believes that she can finish her college career
successfully.
