Foreign Languages Junior-01-10-16.qxp_Layout 1 13/10/2016 12:59 PM Page 31 9.0 Supporting language structures The following supporting language structures should be taught from grades 3-7. Teachers are to select what is appropriate to the level of their learners and bear in mind that the structure should be taught in context and spread across all the language skills. l Gender and types of nouns with emphasis on articles, partitives definite and indefinite, l Pronouns: personal and impersonal, demonstrative and reflexive l Verb tenses: present, immediate future and recent past tenses l Adverbs l Adjectives: possessives, demonstratives, descriptive l Prepositions l Punctuation marks l Conjunctions; and, so, but and because l Expressions of quantity l Intensifiers: very, so, that, too l Question types: Is it that? What is? Who? Where? When? l Use of register l Negation: not /never/nothing NB: This list of supporting language structures is not exhaustive 10.0 LEARNER PROFILE The learner profile will comprise those aspects that cannot be assessed through continuous and summative modes. The profiling will include soft skills and other aspects. The profile of the learner will be compiled by the teacher and passed on to the next teacher throughout the Junior Course. The profile will not contribute to the final mark at the end of Grade 7 as shown on the assessment model but will assist to give a full picture of the leaner s competence. 11.0 ASSESSMENT The scheme of assessment for the grades 3 to 7 Foreign Languages syllabus covers continuous and summative assessments. The four macro language skills as well as numeracy skills will be tested. The syllabus scheme of assessment is grounded on the principle of inclusivity. Arrangements, modifications and accommodations must be visible in both continuous and summative assessments to enable learners with diverse needs to access assessments. 11.1 ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES By the end of the 5-year Junior course learners should be able to: 31

Foreign Languages Junior-01-10-16.qxp_Layout 1 13/10/2016 12:59 PM Page 32 Listening l Respond to brief and direct questions and instructions l Identify specific details in formal and informal dialogues, announcements and requests Speaking l Construct and deliver grammatically correct sentences l Give a simple account of common activities in personal or everyday life l Communicate needs, emotions and feelings in formal and informal conversations l Speak fluently/sign proficiently for effective communication on cultural issues Reading l Read dialogues, narratives, descriptions and letters l Respond to written questions showing ability to recall, comprehend, apply, synthesize and evaluate. Writing l Write formal and informal letters, e-mails, messages, narratives and descriptions l Write guided compositions: letters, speeches, dialogues, poems and pictures in a style and register appropriate to the subject matter. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (30%) Specific tasks and assignments will be administered from term one Grade 6 to term two Grade 7. Marks shall be collated. The marks will contribute (30%) to the final mark at the end of Grade 7. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT (70%) At the end of Grade 7 learners will sit for the National Examination. The setting and designing of test items in Foreign Languages is guided and informed by the skills weighting chart and the specification grid. SCHEME OF ASSESSMENT The Primary School Foreign Languages syllabus will be assessed as follows: Paper Sections and Descriptions Marks Duration Paper Weighting 1 40 Multiple Choice questions 40 1hr 30 minutes 50% 2 Section A:Guided Composition 20 1hr 45 minutes 50% Section B: Comprehension 20 Total 80 100% 32
