It is good for all theteachers who teach a particular
standard to work together on thescheme of work for
the year. There are many reason for this:
9. ELE3102
To synchronize what is taughtand the orderin which it is taught.
All the teachers'perceptions on the syllabus items become known
to everyone else.
Teaching resources, especially audio-visual aids can be shared.
11. ELE3102
In calculatingthe amount of timeavailable, a teacher
should consider:
Actual class contacttime provided for by the Ministry of
education.
By how many hours learningtime can be extended
through such thingsas homework, extended reading and
project work.
12. ELE3102
Find out how many weeks of teaching there are for each
semester and multiply this by the number of minutes
availablefor each week.
13. ELE3102
Make arough estimate of how much non-contact
time is availablefor homework, project work, etc.
Add extra time to contact time to obtain total time
availablefor learning.
14. ELE3102
The syllabus spells out what needs to be taughtin any

general way. A syllabus, therefore, needs to be
interpreted.

These aresome issues that need to belooked into achieving balance:
Whether the emphasis and time allocated to an item reflects its importance in the
learning process and usefulness to the pupils.
Whether the fourlanguage skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) aregiven
balanced treatment.
Whether grammarand vocabulary building have beengiven appropriate attention orif
planning has concentrated entirely on development of fluency

Real communication
involves using more
thanone skill.
Integration of language
with interests of pupils
and needs.
Variety of inputand
output in the learning
process improves
comprehension and
retention.

skills likewriting and
speaking.
Integration is important for a
