1.0 PREAMBLE
1.1 Introduction
This syllabus covers the learning and teaching of English Language from ECD to Grade 2,
taking into account the importance of English as a tool for communication and cultural, political,
religious, social and economic development. It seeks to utilise Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) to enhance teaching and learning of the English Language. The syllabus
seeks to prepare learners to use English in studying other learning areas across the curriculum
while also offering opportunities for lifelong learning. The syllabus promotes the use of the
communicative and functional approach to the teaching and learning of English language.

1.2 Rationale
This syllabus encourages the use of learner centred and interactive activities that enable
learners to develop and understand linguistic concepts and their usage in everyday life. As a
medium of instruction, the English Language assists in the teaching and learning of other
subjects across the curriculum. Being a global language it offers learners an opportunity to
communicate in a wider spectrum.

The study of the English Language will enhance development of skills in:
l problem solving
l critical thinking
l decision making
l conflict resolution
l leadership
l self management
l communication
l technology and innovation
l entrepreneurship

1.3 Summary of Content

The English Language syllabus emphasises the learning and teaching of the four basic skills,
which are: listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as other literacy and numeracy
skills. The teaching and learning of visual, manual and tactile skills is encouraged in order to
accommodate learners with diverse needs.

1.4 Assumptions

➢ Learners have been exposed to the English Language.

➢ Learners are motivated to learn the English Language
Skills acquired by learners in L1( if not English) can be transferred to the learning of
English Language as an L2

5.0 METHODOLOGY AND TIME ALLOCATION

In using this syllabus, the functional communicative approach is recommended, operating within
the spiral framework. Using this approach, language forms and structures are learnt by using
them in various contexts rather than as isolated forms.

All activities and methods should be participatory and learner centred starting from simple to
complex.

5.1 Methodology
The following methods are recommended:
l Debate and Discussion
l Individual and group presentation
l Drama/Role play/Imitation and Simulation
l Story telling
l Drawing
l Poetry
l Summary
l Song and dance
l Educational tours
l Games and quizzes
l e-Learning
l Case study
l Puppetry
l Individual Learning Programmes (ILPs)
l Puzzles
l Dialogue
l Diorama
l Models/Resource persons

The above suggested methods should be enhanced by the application of orthodidactic

principles and multisensory approaches to teaching. These include tactile, concreteness,
individualization, self-activity, totality and wholeness. Teachers are also encouraged to address
learners’ compensatory senses during teaching.

English Language

8.6 Supporting Language Structures:

The following supporting language structures are for the whole primary school English course.
Teachers are to select what is appropriate to the level of their learners

NOTE: At higher levels (Gr 5-7) some grammatical terms like noun, verbs, adjectives,
adverbs, preposition, conjunction and others may be used to clarify or shorten
explanation but should be kept to a minimum.

By the end of the Primary school education, learners should be able to:

Effectively use, among others, the following language structures:

l nouns- personal nouns, impersonal nouns, proper nouns, compound nouns,

common nouns, possessive pronouns, gender, reflexive nouns, pronouns, relative
pronouns, countable and uncountable nouns, singular and plural nouns concrete
and abstract nouns, collective nouns, demonstrative pronouns

l antonyms/opposites

l synonyms

l similes

l verb tenses

l adjectives - their comparative and superlative forms.

l adverbs and adverbial clauses

l prepositions

l problematic verbal clauses: e.g. cope with, succeed in, reply to

l coordinate conjunctions e.g. ‘and’, ‘so’, ‘also’, ‘but’; subordinate conjunctions e.g.
‘because’, ‘although’, ‘though’

l punctuation marks – full stop, capital letters, comma, question mark, exclamation
mark, quotation marks, hyphen, semicolon and colon.

l quantifiers: e.g. little, few, a few, much, more, enough, scarcely/hardly any/about/
over/almost/nearly, all, both

l intensifiers: very, so…that… extremely,

l structures that show cause and affect e.g. The rains came late, so/for that reason
the harvest was poor. The harvest was poor because/for/since the rains had come
late.

l question tags

l modals: e.g. may, might, can, could, shall, should, must, ought to, will, would

l conditional clauses: e.g. If I were the man, I would have run away. If he is to be
imprisoned, his family will suffer a lot. Unless it rains, all crops will wilt.

l direct and indirect (reported) speeches

l the passive and the active voice

l spelling

English Language Infant 05-10-16.qxp_Layout 1 13/10/2016 12:16 PM Page 39

English Language

l word formation (Affixes, that is, suffixes and prefixes)

l word choice and register

l unless/ in spite of/ despite the fact that

l neither…nor,

l either…or

l abbreviations

Construct simple statements, commands and questions that observe the basic structure of a
sentence.

Handle sentences where certain sentence structures have been omitted (ellipsis) to avoid
unnecessary repetition e.g.

Taurai has finished, but John hasn’t. Vusa liked the play. Did you?

NOTE: This list of language structures is not exhaustive.

9.0 ASSESSMENT
The English Language syllabus scheme of assessment has been developed with the principle
of inclusivity. Learners at Infant level will be assessed entirely by continuous assessment and
profiling.

9.1 Assessment Objectives

Assessment objectives outline the skills, which may be assessed. However, teachers should
not limit themselves to the assessment objectives. Teaching should be driven by the teaching
objectives and the syllabus aims. For that reason, teachers should not teach the learners just
for assessment but for life.

9.2 Speaking/Signing
Learners should be able to:
9.2.1 Greet and respond to greetings
9.2.2 Describe events and situations
9.2.3 Make polite requests
9.2.4 Carry out a short conversation

9.3 Listening/Observing
Learners should be able to understand:

9.3.1 Dialogue both formal and informal

9.3.2 Narratives up to a maximum 100
9.3.3 News items and respond to question

9.4 Reading/Signing
Learners should be able to read:
9.4.1 Dialogues
9.4.2 Narratives
9.4.3 Descriptions
9.4.4 Authentic materials

9.5 Writing/Brailling
9.5.1 Write legibly using the appropriate Nelson Script
9.5.2 Construct correct sentences
9.5.3 Write a coherent short narrative or dialogue
9.5.4 Write a story based on a picture or sequence of pictures

9.6 Comprehension
9.6.1 Answer questions based on an oral or written text
9.6.2 Follow a conversation and respond/interject appropriately
9.6.3 Read a short story and be able to retell/summarise it

9.7 Scheme of Assessment

The assessment will be continuous and based on achieving the learning outcomes for each
topic and grade level. There should be learner profiling to inform of the learners progress and
those areas that will need to be further developed in the future. The learner profile record must
state the learner’s entry abilities and potential at every level. In addition to language concepts
and skills and knowledge the child has acquired and developed.

9.8 Continuous Assessment

Learners from ECD to Grade 2 should be continuously assessed throughout the learning cycle
in areas of: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
