1. Overview
The syllabus for 4+ and 5+ has been devised around topics whichfall into three categories:
1. Topics considered appropriate for children of this age, e.g. about me, my family, my face, my body, my toys.
2. Topics considered useful and necessary for this age group, e.g. colours, weather, numbers.
3. Topics which allow for integration into the Malaysia Preschool Humanities curriculum which develops in the children an appreciation of self
and their surroundings, e.g. my friends, my school, my neighbourhood, my local environment.
The topics in 4+ are associated directly with the children, e.g. me, my classroom, my family, my body, my toys, whereas in 5+ the topics lead the
children further afield, e.g. my school, my neighbourhood, my country.
2. Lexical items
The lexical items listed in the syllabus support the preschool teacher to focus on a particular topic. However, the wordlists do not show all the words
the children will encounter in the preschool years. It showswords which children should be able to understand and produce confidently and
communicate with successfully. It is not expectedthat children can recognise all these words in their written form; neither will they be able to write
them all. The vocabulary listed represents a minimum standard for understanding and use. Children can and should encounter other words which are
meaningful to their particular contexts.
3. Productive and receptive language
The structures included in the syllabus are appropriate to the different topics, and also provide for repetition and recycling of simple structures that
can be used with a variety of topics, e.g. What is it? It’s a …
In 4+ there is a focus on the children understanding the question and responding to it. In 5+ the children will begin to ask simple questions of their
own. Children pick up language in chunks, which can be single words or two or three words brought together. It is therefore very natural for children to
respond using a single word response and only upon consistent exposure to contextualised language will they begin to use longer responses. It is the
role of the teacher to expand upon single word responses, providing a model for children to hear and eventually acquire. For example:
Teacher: How do you feel Sarah?
Sarah: Happy
Teacher: I feel happy! That’s good! Sarah feels happy.
14. 12
The use of songs and chants to support the acquisition of chunks of language will help children to quickly use sentences. Therefore songs and chants
should be used in addition to lots of other opportunities to hear language being used in context.
4. Contractions
Learning English in preschool begins with a solid foundation of listening and speaking activities. These activities provide a gradual build up towards
early reading and writing activities. As the focus in preschool is on listening and speaking, the syllabus presents spoken language in both its
contracted and full form. When children begin to write, they will likely reproduce the spoken form, which will include contractions. This should not be a
concern,because later, as they move through primary education and begin to take a more explicit stance towards language learning, they will decode
contractions. However, full forms have been included within the syllabus as teachers may wish to teach these as well.
5. Grammar
Grammar is not a focus with children of this age group, thus there is no grammatical analysis or explicit focus on grammar during these two years.
The aim of learning English in preschool is, above all, to give children positive and successful experiences with Englishin which meaning and
enjoyment are driving learning. A focus on using language for pleasure and for a purpose contributes to building a positive attitude towards English
and language learning generally, as well as developing confidence in speaking and using English for a purpose. Children will begin to focus more
explicitly on grammar as they move through primary.
6. Nursery rhymes
We have included suggested rhymes for each of the topics as these contribute to the natural development of phonological awareness due to the
rhythm and rhyme they inherently contain. These nursery rhymes are also a vehicle for exposure to culture and support the development of an
intercultural awareness if preschool teachers use rhymes or songs from the children’s own languages and compare the idiosyncrasies.
The lyrics for these rhymes will accompany the Scheme of Work together with suggestions for web links to enable the teachers to hear these rhymes
being said or sung.

** The days of the week flashcards should be different colours, so the children can refer to them by colour as well. You can also play different association games if you use different colours.
*** Mouthing: imitating the movement of the mouth associated with a word or words which is/are being learned. This is often associated with accompanying a song or a rhyme which has
recently been introduced. This may or may not always be accompanied by the production of the sound.
