1. Teaching and Learning follows the modular structure of Listening & Speaking, Reading, Writing, Language Arts and Grammar. 2. Assessment is done for all the language skills. Grammar is assessed through the Speaking and Writing Skills. This is because when you assess a pupil for fluency and accuracy in Speaking and Writing, you are indirectly assessing the grammar that is used. 3. Assessment is recorded for L&S, R, W & LA in the EXCEL template.

4. Assessment is formative in nature and is ongoing. Therefore, you are constantly assessing your pupils as you teach, making changes to your methods or approaches so that your pupils will understand better. However, the recording of the levels (EXCEL template) is only done once every 3 months. 5. How do you justify the levels of performance that you assign to each pupil? - Through the exercises, worksheets, class presentations, exercises in the activity books, quizzes etc. You do not need to have a special file to collect and keep all these evidence of your pupils. The evidence is in the form of the written and oral work that you do in the classroom.

6. PBS is school based assessment. The DSKP is a new way of doing school based assessment for Year 4 in 2014. It is still at pilot stage in 2014. 7. Level 1 (Year 1-3) carries on with the current PBS system. No change for Level 1. DSKP is only for Year 4. 8. If the school carries out the mid term and end of year examination, the format will have to incorporate all the 4 modules stipulated in the DSKP; L&S, R, W & LA. So, the testing is not only paper and pen but covers all these modules.
