INTRODUCTION
Planning is the art of combining a number of different contents into a coherent whole, so that lesson has an identity which students can
recognize, work within and react to. The present deals with a different variety of schemes of work, lesson plans, observation forms,
consolidation exercises and communicative tests. It aims to develop trainees’ abilities to design such materials for future benefits in the field of
English Language Teaching. It if factual that most of the teachers of English language in Mozambique, have a mastery of one model of lesson
plan then this task unveils the different lesson plan models and schemes of works so that the trainees have a mastery of all of them. Not only,
lesson plan models and schemes are intended to be learnt, but also testing different language skills, including vocabulary and spelling.
Furthermore, designing consolidation exercises for communicative purposes and finally designing different observation forms to evaluate
teachers’ performance in different areas of teaching. The major topic for the present assignment is Terrorism in Cabo Delgado.

The purpose of getting prepared for the future of English Language Teaching in Mozambique, and mastering the different teaching techniques to
address effectively the English language to students, constitutes the RATIONALE of this pair task.

58

SECTION A: Reading and Comprehension

TEXT

In Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, nearly 730,000 people have fled violent clashes between Mozambican security forces and their
allies and a radical armed group affiliated to the Islamic State. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is providing an emergency response to
the problems of access to water, sanitation and hygiene faced by the displaced population and host communities, as well as offering direct
food aid.

The province of Cabo Delgado, in north-eastern Mozambique, is in the grip of an insurgency led by an armed group affiliated to the "Islamic
State in Central Africa" (IS-CAP). The abuses perpetrated by this group have continued to escalate since 2018. Civilians have been victims
of killings, rapes, forced marriages, abductions, recruitment of child soldiers, looting and pillaging. By the summer of 2021, it was estimated
that more than 2,000 people had died as a result of these attacks and nearly 730,000 people had been displaced. The rate of population shifts
has recently increased following the attack on the town of Palma (to the south of which lies the major Total-led gas project), repeated
assaults on the Quitunda and Afungi areas, the prospect of further offensives by the Mozambican army and the deployment of Rwandan and
Southern African Development Community (SADC) troops.

As a result, transit sites are now overflowing and host towns and villages have seen their populations explode. Alerted by the scale of the
security and humanitarian crisis in this particularly poor province, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL teams went to the area to assess the
needs of the affected populations and determine the types of the relief to be provided. At the end of its exploratory mission and in
coordination with the competent authorities, our organisation undertook to provide displaced people with emergency aid in the areas of
water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as food, shelter, mosquito nets, blankets and other essentials.

Terrorism in Cabo Delgado


The insurgency in Cabo Delgado refers to the Islamist insurgency in the region of East Africa and the ongoing conflict in Cabo Delgado
Province, Mozambique, mainly fought between militant Islamists and jihadists attempting to establish an Islamic state in the region, and
Mozambican security forces. Civilians have been the main targets of terrorist attacks by Islamist militants.

The main insurgent faction is Ansar al-Sunna, a native extremist faction with tenuous international connections. From mid-2018, the Islamic

Length 120 min

General instruction: Read carefully every paragraph of your exam before you answer any questions. Use
a separate sheet to write your answers.

OBJECTIVE: the main goal of this exam is to assess students in different language skills,
grammar, vocabulary and spelling.
SECTION A: Reading and comprehension
TEXT
In Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, nearly 730,000 people have fled violent clashes
between Mozambican security forces and their allies and a radical armed group affiliated
to the Islamic State. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is providing an emergency
response to the problems of access to water, sanitation and hygiene faced by the displaced
population and host communities, as well as offering direct food aid.

The province of Cabo Delgado, in north-eastern Mozambique, is in the grip of an


insurgency led by an armed group affiliated to the "Islamic State in Central Africa" (IS-
CAP). The abuses perpetrated by this group have continued to escalate since 2018.
Civilians have been victims of killings, rapes, forced marriages, abductions, recruitment of
child soldiers, looting and pillaging. By the summer of 2021, it was estimated that more
than 2,000 people had died as a result of these attacks and nearly 730,000 people had been
displaced. The rate of population shifts has recently increased following the attack on the
town of Palma (to the south of which lies the major Total-led gas project), repeated
assaults on the Quitunda and Afungi areas, the prospect of further offensives by the
Mozambican army and the deployment of Rwandan and Southern African Development
Community (SADC) troops.

As a result, transit sites are now overflowing and host towns and villages have seen their
populations explode. Alerted by the scale of the security and humanitarian crisis in this
particularly poor province, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL teams went to the area to
assess the needs of the affected populations and determine the types of the relief to be
provided. At the end of its exploratory mission and in coordination with the competent
authorities, our organisation undertook to provide displaced people with emergency aid in
the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as food, shelter, mosquito nets, blankets
and other essentials.
