Teachers are given the following documents

(known as Teacher's Kit) :

1. Curriculum Framework (Year 1 - 6)
2. Syllabus Year 1
3. Syllabus Year 2
4. Scheme of Work Year 1
5. Scheme of Work Year 2
6. Scheme of Work (Phonics) Year 1
7. Scheme of Work (Phonics) Year 2
 Beginning 2018, the CEFR-aligned Primary English Language Curriculum will be
introduced.
 Teachers need to use this curriculum for the teaching of English Language for Year 1 and 2.
 They need to refer to various documents when preparing a lesson plan for Year 1 and Year
2:

 DSKP
 Syllabus Year 1 / Year 2
 Phonics Scheme of Work for Year 1 / Year2

 Scheme of Work for Year 1 / Year 2 - activities and teaching strategies linked to
Superminds Textbook
Teachers need to teach phonics for basic literacy as stipulated
in the LINUS Programme before carrying out lessons on other
language skills such as Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing and
Language Arts.

Therefore, Scheme of Work for Phonics is a guide for teachers

to develop phonics-based lessons.

Teachers are required to prepare lessons for 4 weeks (Year 1)

and 2 weeks (Year 2) at the beginning of the schooling year.
Once the phonics teaching and learning have been carried out
at the beginning of the year, teachers should embark on the
teaching of other language skills lessons as suggested in the
Main Scheme of Work and Superminds Textbook.

However, teachers are encouraged to consolidate the Phonics

teaching and learning activities in the lessons throughout the
year.

Lessonplans for phonics should be developed based on:
The Scheme of Work for Phonics

YEAR 1 YEAR 2
Scheme of Work for Phonics contains suggested
activities derived from :
 Teacher's Guide Book (developed in 2011)
 Pupil's Module for LBI (Literasi Bahasa Inggeris)
Upon completion of the phonics teaching and learning for
Year 1 (4 weeks) and Year 2 (2 weeks), teachers need to
refer to :
Main Schemes of Work (Year 1 - 193 pages, Year 2 - 186
pages)
Superminds Textbook
to plan lessons on the language skills such as Listening,
Speaking, Reading, Writing and Language Arts.

Teachers need to include suitable grammar or vocabulary

focus in the lesson planning. Therefore, they need to refer
to Year 1 or Year 2 syllabus. The syllabus is integrated in
the curriculum document (DSKP).
Themes and Topics:
The English Language Curriculum for Malaysian
Primary Schools emphasises the importance of
sustaining the use of the English language within
and beyond the classroom. The curriculum adopts
an inter-disciplinary approach and this is reflected
within the three broad themes of:
World of Self, Family and Friends
World of Stories
World of Knowledge
The unit topics in the Year 1 textbook,
Superminds1 (Introduction Unit –
Unit 4) and the non-textbook-based lesson
outlines, all support these themes.
