KSSR- Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah
That's the new term for the current curriculum for teaching year 1 start 2011.The curriculum is modular in design and it is reflected in the organisation of the content and learning standards. For English curriculum, it emphasizes onn the development of basic language skills to enable pupils to have a strong foundation to build their proficiency in the language.
Those language skills are divided into four learning standards, which are:
1. Listening and speaking
2. Reading
3. Writing
4. Language arts.
The modular approach is to allow pupils to acquire the basic skills of language through purposeful activities in meaningful language. Hence, teaching year 1 this year is a new challenge that we teachers are facing. Proper planning and material preparation is required daily before entering the class. Teaching year 1 is about exposing these kids to fun learning environment and interactive materials to 'play' with. The assessment of each skill should be an on-going process where progress is regularly recorded and monitored.
