Chinese Reading Programme
Objective: Cultivate pupils’ interest in reading and expose
them to books of different genres.
INTRODUCTION OF HIGHER CHINESE LANGUAGE AT
P2, P3 & P4 LEVELS IN 2014
Rationale for introduction of HCL at lower level
To engage pupils in learning Chinese language pitched at a higher level & with a richer content at a younger age.
To close the learning gap for pupils taking HCL in P5 & P6
HCL selection criterion
Ability-driven: Based on pupils’ 2013 overall CL results.
Rationale: As HCL syllabus demands a higher commitment from the pupils, the school does not want the child to lose interest in the subject or confidence in himself due to the more rigorous and challenging syllabi pitched above Standard CL.
For pupils who are keen to study HCL when they move on to P5, the criteria is:
All 4 subjects overall results: 80 marks and above.
Tips for learning1. More exposure to Chinese:
• Story books• Meaningful Chinese TV programme• Meaningful Radio station• xuele.moe.edu.sg (MOE online
textbook, P1-P6)
2. Revision of Chinese learning resources: oral booklet, compo booklet etc.
