FOREWORD
Bismillahhirahmanirrahim.
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
The Curriculum Development Division
has successfully produced the Modul
Bimbingan (MOBIM) for English
Language Year 1 as a teaching and
learning guide. This Module provides
teachers with ideas on how to plan
and implement interesting and
engaging activities especially for Year
1 pupils. Teachers can infuse fun
learning, differentiation strategies and
varied classroom assessment through
the suggested activities.
MOBIM also encourages teachers to use differentiation
strategies to cater to different learning styles through material
adaptation based on pupils’ abilities. In addition, the element
of fun learning in the suggested activities encourages pupils’
active participation and interest towards learning the English
language.
Hence, the use of MOBIM would be able to increase the
effectiveness of teaching and learning as well as enhance the
overall performance of pupils in the English language.
The Curriculum Development Division extends its heartfelt
gratitude to all those who have contributed to the production
of this Module. It is hoped that this Module will benefit all
teachers and pupils in support of the Ministry of Education’s
continuous effort to improve the quality of education in
Malaysia.
Thank you.

INTRODUCTION
The Standards-Based English Language Curriculum for
Primary Schools (Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah
(KSSR) (Semakan 2017) Bahasa Inggeris) aims to equip
pupils with basic language skills to enable them to
communicate effectively in a variety of contexts that are
appropriate to the pupils’ level of development.
MOBIM for English Language Year 1 serves as a guide for
teachers to further enhance their teaching and improve
pupils’ English language proficiency at the primary level.
MOBIM highlights some differentiation strategies which allow
teachers to focus on the needs of pupils according to their
abilities. Teachers are free to explore suitable activities and
resources available to them in line with the requirements of
the curriculum. MOBIM also includes suggestions on how to
evaluate and adapt learning materials to suit the needs of the
pupils during the lessons. Some suggested activities have
also been included in MOBIM as a guide for teachers when
preparing their lessons. Last but not least, an explanation of
classroom assessment and suggested assessment activities
are also included in MOBIM. Hence, the Module also serves
as a reference for teachers who wish to carry out training
sessions within their professional learning communities.
