THE LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILL
The listening and speaking skill is crucial for social communication at home,
at school, as well as in the community. However, this skill is often neglected
or given minimal emphasis during English language lessons. In order to
develop this skill, teachers have to provide their pupils with various opportunities to listen
and to talk about a range of subjects which may include topics on personal interests,
school work and even current affairs. It is hoped that the learning standards will offer
teachers some ideas on how they could provide opportunities for pupils to engage in
various listening and speaking activities at Year One.
The Listening and Speaking Content and Learning Standards for Year 1 are as follows:
Content Standards Learning Standards
1.1 By the end of the 6-year 1.1.1 Able to listen and respond to
primary schooling, pupils will be able to stimulus given with guidance :

In this module, Learning Standards 1.1.1 and 1.1.4 are dealt with extensively. Although,
this module does not provide suggested activities for the other learning standards, it is
hoped that teachers would be able to plan lessons and activities on their own for the
other Learning Standards. The activities provided here are merely suggestions. It is with
high expectation and anticipation that teachers of Year 1 English would be able to plan
and carry out Listening and Speaking lessons creatively and innovatively.
