Connect reading and writing experiences:  Connecting GE programme with the Reading Workshop  providing appropriate input (paired texts/ sample writing/ information from the website/ posters)  borrowing ideas and language items from the sample writing to 15 write the article.

(16) Reading across the Curriculum (RaC) — What is it and why is it relevant to us as English Teachers? Dual goals:  To broaden students’ knowledge base, help them connect their learning experiences and provide opportunities for integrating and applying knowledge and skills developed in different KLAs/subjects (ELE KLA CG, CDC, 2017, p.9)  To provide opportunities for students to develop a wide range of reading skills, extend learning of the content and connect their learning experiences across KLAs (ELE KLA CG, CDC, 2017, p.47). 16.

(17) In implementing RaC, English teachers are encouraged to: identify reading materials in both print and non-print forms with suitable entry points (e.g. themes, text types, language features and vocabulary) for connecting students’ learning experiences in different KLAs collaborate with teachers of other KLAs to develop learning activities that provide students with opportunities to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired across KLAs. help students develop the reading skills and strategies necessary for understanding and analysing language use in English texts (e.g. text structures and vocabulary). design reading activities that reinforce students’ ability to integrate the knowledge, skills and learning experiences gained in different KLAs 17.

(18) Promoting Reading across the Curriculum Cross-curricular collaboration to facilitate RaC.  Working with teachers of other KLAs to conduct curriculum mapping e.g. designing cross-curricular learning tasks and activities together  Adjusting the teaching schedules of English Language and the content subject to teach the same theme/topic at around the same time.  Seeking advice from teachers of other KLAs on: - the choice and appropriateness of reading materials - the schedule of teaching a certain topic.  Involving teachers of other KLAs in the conduct of crosscurricular learning activities or project work, e.g. assessing students’ performance. 18.

(28) The relationships between learning, teaching and assessment. Learning-teachingassessment Cycle 28 28.

(29) Assessment as Learning (AaL). AaL engages students in reflecting on and monitoring their progress of learning through strengthening their roles and responsibilities in relation to their learning. Students are actively involved in regulating the learning process, evaluating their own performance against the learning goals, and planning for the next step in learning.. Assessment for Learning (AfL). AfL integrates assessment into learning and teaching. It assists students to understand what they are learning, what they have attained, and what is expected of them, and helps teachers collect evidence of students’ learning so that teachers can provide students with timely feedback and refine their teaching strategies.. Assessment of Learning (AoL). AoL describes the level students have attained in learning and shows what they know and can do over a period of time. It gives an overview of the previous learning of students and is mainly used for reporting purposes.. Selfdirected Learners. Learner Independence. Summative. Formative. Three complementary assessment concepts. English Language Education Key Learning Area Curriculum Guide (Primary 1 – Secondary 6) (CDC, 2017), p.84 29.

Strengthening AfL: - Adopting diversified modes of assessment - Making use of various assessment tools - Making effective use of assessment data. - Enhancing learners’ selfdirected learning capabilities through introducing metacognitive strategies. Promoting Assessment for/as Learning. 36.

(37) Strategies to promote Assessment as Learning In order to enable students to take charge of their own learning, teachers can do the following: identifying expected learning outcomes. creating criteria of good practices with the students. guiding students to set goals. teaching enabling skills (e.g. dictionary skills, research skills, phonics skills and vocabulary building strategies). providing opportunities for students to practise the skills that need to be learned or mastered. modelling of learning strategies (e.g. the skills of self-reflection) through think-aloud. discussing sample student work and providing constructive feedback to students as they learn. using different kinds of assessment forms (e.g. KWHL Table, SWOT, PMI, Traffic Light, Feedback Sandwich) to facilitate self-reflection. guiding students to keep track of their own learning. 37.

(38) Some reflection strategies. Graphic Organisers. 38.

(39) Some reflection strategies “Traffic Light”. “Concept Circle”. Have students examine their work and highlight how they feel • stopped • cautious • they can go straight ahead. Instruct students to • sketch a concept circle with as many spikes as they like; • brainstorm and recall the key concepts/ideas learnt; • highlight, or draw a box around, any concept that they have trouble understanding; and • write down who/where to resort to in order to solve the problems. “The Feedback Burger”. (Good news) “I did really well on …” (Bad news) “I think …need to be changed because…” (Good news) “Some ways I can improve this are…” 39.
