Factor to be considered in planning a scheme of work

Amount of time available What items need to be covered Grading and sequencing

ELE 3102

Providing for recycling, reinforcement and 4/23/12 enrichment

Balance

Integration

ELE 3102

Amount of time In calculating available the amount of time

available, a teacher should consider: Actual class contact time provided for by the Ministry of education. By how many hours learning time can be extended through such things as homework, extended reading and project work.

4/23/12

ELE 3102

Procedure for calculating amount of time P1 TE Find out how many weeks of S available there are for each teaching

semester and multiply this by the number of minutes available for each week.

P2 TE

ELE 3102

Make a rough estimate of how much non-contact time is available for homework, project work, etc.

P3 STEAdd extra time to contact time

to obtain total time available for learning.

ELE 3102

The syllabus spells out what needs to be taught in any one year. However, syllabuses only do so in a very general way. A syllabus, therefore, needs to be interpreted.
4/23/12

What items need to be covered

ELE 3102

EXAMPLE
A teacher needs to recognize the pattern behind the sample sentences in order to generate other sentences to help pupils perceive rules or internalize knowledge of appropriate use. This understanding is also necessary in allocating amount of time for the teaching of the present tense.
4/23/12

ELE 3102

Sentence patterns
He is a doctor. The ground is wet. The sun rises in the East. A tree has leaves. Every day he comes to school by bus. On Fridays he goes to the mosque.
4/23/12

Functions
To indicate states To express universal truths

To indicate routing or repetitive action

Grading and sequencing Level of relative learning difficulty of the

items specified in the syllabus. Nature of skill to be taught. Possible timing of items at appropriate times in pupils and schools calendar of events. Effect on motivation to learn.

ELE 3102

Coherence within and between units of learning.

4/23/12

Providing for recycling, reinforcement and These are some enrichment issues that need to be borne in mind:
Why recycling is important The importance of the item / skill How much repetition is required for the skill to be well-learnt The level of proficiency of the pupils
4/23/12

ELE 3102

ELE 3102

Balanc These are some issues that neede be looked to into achieving balance:
Whether the emphasis and time allocated to an item reflects its importance in the learning process and usefulness to the pupils. Whether the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) are given balanced treatment. Whether grammar and vocabulary building have been given appropriate attention or if planning has concentrated entirely on development of fluency
4/23/12

Integrati on Integration is
important for a number of reason:

ELE 3102
Real communication involves using more than one skill.

Language items like vocabulary and grammar are best learnt in contexts, integrated with skills like writing and 4/23/12 speaking.

Integration of language with interests of pupils and needs.

Variety of input and output in the learning process improves comprehension and retention.
