students. These are stated just before the class objectives found at the beginning of the

content of each class.

6.2 Class level Objectives

These are statements of behaviour to be exhibited by each student at the end of a given

class. They are stated immediately after the class competences.

6.3 Topics

column of the syllabus. When teaching these functions, the language forms/patterns

and correct pronunciation and intonation have to be dealt with for it is through these

aspects that language functions are realized.

The syllabus consists of two main parts. Part one contains; A short introduction,

Objectives of Education in Tanzania, Objectives of Secondary Education, General

Competences, General objectives and, Some information about the organization of the

syllabus. The second part consists competences and Objectives of the class topic,

gies, teaching/learning materials, assessment and estimated number of periods for each

Page 9: English Language Syllabus for Secondary Educationtie.go.tz/uploads/files/Syllabus for English Language O Level Form I... · This English Language syllabus is a revised version which

6.4 Sub-topicsThese are smaller divisions of topics. Most topics in this syllabus have more than one sub-topic. These sub-topics are presented under the relevant topics.

6.5 SpecificObjectivesThese are statements of behaviour to be exhibited by each student at the end of a given sub-topic. When planning lessons the teacher has to be very clear about the specific objectives expected to be attained and plan his/her teaching in such a way that the specific objectives are achieved.

6.6 Patterns/StructuresFor each sub-topic in the syllabus a number of patterns/structures have been given as examples. Other patterns/structures that are normally used in any given function also need to be dealt with using a variety of activities including demonstration, dramatization, dialogue, oral and written drills, songs, role plays and games.

6.7 Contexts/SituationsContexts/situations depicting different settings/areas where any given language function can be used have been provided in the syllabus next to the patterns/structures column.

6.8 Vocabulary/PhrasesSome vocabulary items related to any given topic/sub-topic have been given in the vocabulary/phrases column. The list is by no means exhaustive. Students will learn many more words which will be found in listening and reading materials they will be exposed to. The teacher should ensure that students know how to pronounce the words correctly, the meaning and the use of those words.

6.9 Teaching and Learning StrategiesIn the teaching and learning strategies column, a number of strategies have been suggested. However, list is not exhaustive. The teacher is advised to use the suggested strategies but where necessary the teacher should think of more appropriate strategies to use in teaching English so that students can use the language meaningfully. Students need to be provided with activities aimed at enabling them to remedy any pronunciation problems that the teacher notes in their use of English. Ear training as well as production

activities should be provided. The teacher needs to ensure that he/she can pronounce English words correctly and that he/she can make use of correct stress and intonation. She/he has to ensure that she/he has the ability to consult a dictionary on pronunciation of words which she/he is not familiar with so that she/he can help the students to develop intelligible pronunciation.

6.10 Teaching and Learning MaterialA number of resources for teaching/learning materials have been listed under the teaching/learning materials column. The list is not exhaustive, therefore the teacher is expected to think creatively and identify other teaching/learning resources available in his/her locality.

6.11 AssessmentThe assessment column in this syllabus gives the teacher an idea of the kind of assessment that students should be subjected to. There is a need for ensuring that students are assessed in all objectives and that the assessment items take into consideration a wide variety of learning outcomes. This kind of assessment provides room for fairness as well as enhancing students’ development of high levels of thinking. The teacher also needs to ensure that he/she assesses student’s performance in all the language skills. The advice given above should be used in weekly, monthly, mid-term and end of term/year assessments. Appropriate use of a variety of assessment techniques including paper and pencil assessment, interviews, observation, portfolios, projects and questionnaires should be used.At the end of form four students are expected to do an overall achievement assessment intended to determine the extent to which the objectives of the English course have been attained.

6.12 Number of Periods Number of periods is an estimated time to be used to teach a given topic/sub-topic. Each period is 40 minutes. The number of periods has been taken into account on the time needed to adequately cover the sub-topic. Some topics need more time than others depending on the nature and weight of the topic. The teacher is advised to make a maximum use of time allocated in classroom instruction. Lost instructional time should always be compensated for.
