The English Language Year 1 SJK Textbook Package which comprises the Textbook
and the Activity Book is written in accordance with the English Language Standard
Document for Primary Schools Year 1 SJK (Revised Edition).

The Educational Emphases outlined in this revised document are built into the Package
which aims to:

• provide the pupils with the basic literacy skills in order to be proficient in the
language and to be able to communicate effectively;

• inculcate moral values in the pupils so that they become good citizens;
 • equip the pupils with 21st Century skills for them to compete globally.

As such, the activities are pupil-centered, contextualised, purposeful, varied, interesting
and meaningful. They are also graded to enable mastery learning. In addition, moral
values, how to use money wisely (an important element of entrepreneurship) and
elements of patriotism are taught.

The activities also exploit the use of different multiple intelligences; develop the pupils’
higher order thinking skills; encourage the use of information and communication
technology; promote knowledge acquisition through the use of materials drawn from
subjects across the curriculum. They also facilitate the pupils’ movement towards
achieving Level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
(CEFR).

The 18 Units in the Textbook and the Activity Book are based on the following themes:
World of Self, Family and Friends; World of Stories; World of Knowledge. Each unit
consists of four modules: Listening and Speaking; Reading; Writing and Language Arts.

The principle of 3Ps (Presentation, Practice and Production) is reflected in every module
of the Package.

The Listening and Speaking module aims to train pupils to be good listeners
as well as confident and effective speakers. Phonemic awareness is given due
importance.

The Reading module employs the strategies of phonics to enable pupils to
become independent readers. The activities are also designed to develop the
pupils’ reading strategies and higher order thinking skills.

The Writing module begins with pre-writing skills to address penmanship and
to encourage good writing habits. This module also seeks to develop pupils’
ability to write linear and non-linear texts.

The Language Arts module allows the pupils to enjoy and appreciate rhymes,
poems and action songs; the aim of which is to activate their imagination and
interest as well as to encourage them to use English Language widely.
