SCHOOLWIDE COMMUNICATION PROGRAMME FOR ENGLISH

(SCoPE) 2.0

1.0 INTRODUCTION

SCoPE 2.0 is a 10-week programme divided into 1 week of introductory sessions


and 3 major project-based assessment cycles. Each cycle will encompass enriched
input and instruction, production and oral/written progress reporting, and
teacher/peer presentation. There will be no assessment at the end of the 10 weeks
as students are assessed in each cycle.

1.1 COURSE OBJECTIVES

1.1.1 To prepare learners positively and culturally for language learning by:
Developing a positive attitude towards language learning.

Learning to communicate using the language.

Developing sensitivity to social conventions and norms.


1.1.2 To acquire comprehension skills as a result of:
Engaging with oral, visual and written language effectively in a range of
contexts.
1.1.3 To communicate effectively, using appropriate language by:
Writing, speaking and listening on a wide range of topics for different
purposes and audiences (groups, class).
1.1.4 To develop presentation skills by:
Using a range of Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
tools

1.2 RATIONALE

The Input Stage is to help bridge any differences in students prior knowledge
so they can start on an almost equal ground at the beginning of the project. It
will help students to plan and produce work of a higher standard when
teachers give examples of good and quality work that is expected of them.
The Production Stage is to provide students ample time for planning, creating
and practising. Directed and one-to-one consultation can also be carried out
to ensure that a task is completed correctly and effectively. Teachers will also
be able to scaffold, guide and give constructive feedback to help students
produce a more quality work.
The Presentation Stage is to provide time and space for students work to be
presented and displayed appropriately. Students will be able to feel a sense of
accomplishment when their work is presented, assessed and acknowledged
by an audience. Teachers will also be able to assess students work and give
constructive feedback so students can improve in their next task.

Why start with a team project?

1. Students will learn to support, negotiate and cooperate with each other
through team projects and pair work, before attempting to work on their own.
2. Students will be able to build their confidence in using the language and
presenting in front of audience with guidance and support from teacher and
peers.
3. Students will get opportunities to share their creative ideas with others
through team project.
4. Students will be able to become leaders, planners and team players while
doing the project with their group.
5. Students will be able to think critically about their work and learn to make
critical decisions.

Why use pair work after team project?

1. Students will be able to work on their confidence with support from their
partner and teacher.
2. Students will learn to share burden of task and responsibility with their partner.
3. Students will learn to do work more efficiently and effectively by choosing the
items they want to include in their end product.

4
4. Students will be able to explore and try more innovative approach in
completing the task.

Why do individual work at the end?

1. Students should be more confident after completing the earlier projects where
they receive support from peers and teachers, and so they will be able to
create products that are of quality.
2. Students can demonstrate their individual ability and language competency.
3. There will be opportunity for teachers to assess students individual capability
and gauge whether the course learning objectives are achieved.

(SCoPE) 2.0

2.0 WHY SCoPE 2.0

5
SCoPE 2.0 applies project-based learning method as it centres on the learners.
Through the construction of a personally-meaningful artifact, which may be a play, a
multimedia presentation or a poem, learners represent what they've learned (Harel &
Papert, 1991; Kafai & Resnick, 1996)1. In addition, learners typically have more
autonomy over what they learn, maintaining interest and motivating learners to take
more responsibility for their learning (Tassinari, 1996; Wolk, 1994; Worthy, 2000) 1.
Hence, project-based learning and the outcome of products enable the expression of
diversity in learners, such as interests, abilities and learning styles.

SCoPE 2.0 consists of activities that promote receptive skills (Listening and
Reading) which lead to productive skills (Speaking and Writing). Students present
activities based on the situations and resources which are intrinsically interesting,
culturally embedded and cognitively engaging. Effective use of Information &
Communications in Technology (ICT) is integrated in SCoPE 2.0 to promote 21 st
century learning skills.
