English language remains an important subject on the Primary School Curriculum. Children are expected to be fluent and competent in English Language by the end of Primary Education.
From Primary one to three, learners learnt English as a subject, however they did not get the opportunity to use English in other subjects. The P.4 English syllabus provides opportunities for the learners to steadily increase the amount of English used during the year as they prepare for full English medium education from P.5 onwards. The topics identified for use will in this syllabus prepare learners to use the functional language developing the four skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Although P.4 is a bi-lingual class, English language as a subject will continue to be conducted in English, as it has been the case from P.1 – P.3.
A learner’s prototype and the teacher’s guide to the prototype have also been developed to enhance the effective implementation of the syllabus.
