1. Teaching and Learning follows the modular structure of

Listening & Speaking, Reading, Writing, Language Arts and
Grammar.
2. Assessment is done for all the language skills. Grammar is
assessed through the Speaking and Writing Skills. This is
because when you assess a pupil for fluency and accuracy in
Speaking and Writing, you are indirectly assessing the
grammar that is used.
3. Assessment is recorded for L&S, R, W & LA in the EXCEL
template.

4. Assessment is formative in nature and is ongoing. Therefore,

you are constantly assessing your pupils as you teach,
making changes to your methods or approaches so that your
pupils will understand better. However, the recording of the
levels (EXCEL template) is only done once every 3 months.
5. How do you justify the levels of performance that you assign
to each pupil?
- Through the exercises, worksheets, class presentations,
exercises in the activity books, quizzes etc. You do not need
to have a special file to collect and keep all these evidence of
your pupils. The evidence is in the form of the written and oral
work that you do in the classroom.

6. PBS is school based assessment. The DSKP is a new way of

doing school based assessment for Year 4 in 2014. It is still at
pilot stage in 2014.
7. Level 1 (Year 1-3) carries on with the current PBS system. No
change for Level 1. DSKP is only for Year 4.
8. If the school carries out the mid term and end of year
examination, the format will have to incorporate all the 4
modules stipulated in the DSKP; L&S, R, W & LA. So, the
testing is not only paper and pen but covers all these modules.
