Aglasem SchoolsENGLISH - LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE(Code No. 184)BackgroundTraditionally, language-learning materials beyond the initial stages have been sourcedfrom literature: prose, fiction and poetry. While there is a trend for inclusion of awider range of contemporary and authentic texts, accessible and culturally appropriatepieces of literature should play a pivotal role at the secondary stage of education. TheEnglish class should not be seen as a place merely to read poems and stories in, butan area of activities to develop the learner’s imagination as a major aim of languagestudy, and to equip the learner with communicative skills to perform various languagefunctions through speech and writing.ObjectivesThe general objectives at this stage are: to build greater confidence and proficiency in oral and written communication to develop the ability and knowledge required in order to engage in independentreflection and inquiry to use appropriate English to communicate in various social settings equip learners with essential language skills to question and to articulate theirpoint of view to build competence in the different registers of English to develop sensitivity to, and appreciation of, other varieties of English, likeIndian English, and the culture they reflect to enable the learner to access knowledge and information through referenceskills (consulting a dictionary / thesaurus, library, internet, etc.) to develop curiosity and creativity through extensive reading to facilitate self-learning to enable them to become independent learners to review, organise and edit their own work and work done by peersAt the end of this stage, learners will be able to do the following: give a brief oral description of events / incidents of topical interest retell the contents of authentic audio texts (weather reports, publicannouncements, simple advertisements, short interviews, etc.) participate in conversations, discussions, etc., on topics of mutual interest innon-classroom situations narrate the story depicted pictorially or in any other non-verbal mode36

Aglasem Schools respond in writing to business letters, official communications read and identify the main points / significant details of texts like scripts ofaudio-video interviews, discussions, debates, etc. write without prior preparation on a given topic and be able to defend or explainthe position taken / views expressed in the form of article, speech, or a debate write a summary of short lectures on familiar topics by making / taking notes write an assessment of different points of view expressed in a discussion / debate read poems effectively (with proper rhythm and intonation) transcode information from a graph / chart to a description / report and write adialogue, short story or reportLanguage ItemsIn addition to consolidating the grammatical items practised earlier, the courses at thesecondary level seek to reinforce the following explicitly: sequence of tenses reported speech in extended texts modal auxiliaries (those not covered at upper primary) non-finites (infinitives, gerunds, participles) conditional clauses complex and compound sentences phrasal verbs and prepositional phrases cohesive devices punctuation (semicolon, colon, dash, hyphen, parenthesis or use of brackets andexclamation mark)Methods and TechniquesThe methodology is based on a multi-skill, activity-based, learner-centred approach.Care is taken to fulfil the functional (communicative), literary (aesthetic) and cultural(sociological) needs of the learner. In this situation, the teacher is the facilitator oflearning, S/he presents language items, contrives situations which motivates the childto use English for the purposes of communication and expression. Aural-oral teachingand testing is an in tegral feature of the teaching-learning process. The electronic andprint media could be used extensively. A few suggested activities are: Role play Simulating real-to-life situations Dramatising and miming Problem solving and decision making37

Aglasem Schools Interpreting information given in tabular form and schedule Using newspaper clippings Borrowing situations from the world around the learners, from books and fromother disciplines Using language games, riddles, puzzles and jokes Interpreting pictures / sketches / cartoons Debating and discussing Narrating and discussing stories, anecdotes, etc. Reciting poems Working in pairs and groups Using media inputs - computer, television, video cassettes, tapes, softwarepackages38
