Q

Two new learning areas for L1 education in Grade 1:

A

• The Language learning area gives emphasis to the development of oral language skills for communication in the learner’s first language to
provide a bridge for the transition to literacy and learning in the other content areas. The development of the Language learning area
recognizes the role of the L1 as a resource that learners can use to establish a strong foundation for literacy development and further
education. It recognizes the status of the more than 180 languages in the country, including sign and visual languages, and the languages
of Indigenous groups and communities.
• The Reading and Literacy learning area aims to develop foundational reading skills essential for early literacy. These goals include building
phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and sight word recognition to facilitate reading in the first language.

• Filipino and English are offered simultaneously starting in Grade 2.
• The foundation established by
the Language, and Reading and Literacy learning areas in L1 will help learners to transition to the language of schooling or cognitive and academic language proficiency (CALP) in Filipino and English.
• Filipino and English subjects in Grade 2 continue to build on what the learners have learned in their first language and then transition to further developing literacy in Filipino and English and in other learning areas or subjects.

Q

In particular, the goals of the subject offerings are to achieve:

A
  1. Literacy, which refers to the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, and compute using printed and written
    materials, including digital and multimedia texts, associated with varying contexts, which entails active engagement with language to
    acquire, construct, reconstruct, and communicate meaning (UNESCO, 2018).
  2. Communicative competence, which refers to the synthesis of knowledge of grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competencies in a language.
  3. Cultural identity, which refers to the feeling of pride in belonging to a cultural group that is fully accepted and appreciated by all other
    cultural groups of the nation. This sense of pride in belongingness contributes in part to one’s self-concept, self-esteem, and position of equal standing in society.

Q

It aims to develop appropriateness, accuracy, confidence, and efficacy first in L1 and later in Filipino and English.

A
30
Q

Literacy development

A

Involves conscious attention and focused learning and is cognitively demanding in L2.
This requires different levels of support through scaffolding according to the learner’s needs. Literacy development across the learning areas involves extending literacy development in both L1 and L2.

31
Q

Language

A

A tool for communication and the foundation of all learning and of all other literacies.
It anchors one’s cultural identity while learning multiple languages promotes cultural awareness.
Culture is enriched by the distinct features of its language.

32
Q

Language domain

A

learners learn about languages and how they work.
As they learn about language and learn through language, they develop communicative skills, grammatical knowledge, and cultural understandings to interact with others, appropriately and accurately, and with cultural sensitivity.
They learn about vocabulary and the patterns of the language as they draw on knowledge and awareness of multiple languages and their
functions.

33
Q

Language from the first to the last key stage…

A

is introduced and developed through exposure to various texts ranging from simple to complex.
This ensures gradual acquisition and learning of the knowledge and skills required for the learner’s academic requirements and beyond.

34
Q

Learners need to be…

A

explicitly and systematically taught foundational knowledge about the sounds, symbols, words, structures, meaning and usage from their knowledge of L1.

35
Q

Teaching grammar should help learners…

A

“meet the demands of reading, understanding, speaking, and writing texts that describe, narrate, analyze, explain, recount, and argue.

36
Q

Text

A

refers to written, spoken, or multimodal forms of communication used in meaningful contexts.

37
Q

Multi-modal texts

A

Combine language with
other systems for communicating, for example, print with visual images, animation, soundtracks, and spoken word as in film or computer
presentation media.

38
Q

Texts provide opportunities for learning about…

A

Important aspects of human experience and about aesthetic value.

39
Q

Many of the tasks that learners undertake in and out of school involve…

40
Q

2.3.2. PROGRESSION ACROSS KEY STAGES

A
41
Q

As the grade level progresses, the focus in domain shifts –

A

• Literacy in the first key stage (Kindergarten to Grade 3),
• Language in the second key stage (Grades 4-6),
• Text in the third key stage (Grades 7 to 10).

42
Q

This means that there is a certain focus domain for each key stage but does not discount the other domains. Instead, it allows the other domains
to support the learning and development in the focus domain, which in turn supports learning in the next domain.
Hence, the focus of instruction
shifts from one key stage to another, enabling a spiraling of the curriculum which builds on the previous stage/s.

A
43
Q

2.3.2.1.
KEY STAGE 1

A
44
Q

The languages curricula offered in Key Stage 1 (KS1) primarily develop learners’ literacy by focusing on different literacy domains. It consists of three reading stages:

Q

At the end of Key Stage 1, learners are expected to be able to…

A

Use their conversational language skills in day-to-day activities and
their academic language in understanding and discussing various specific contents and in the learning areas.

The following are the essential subdomains for developing literacy in KS1:

A

• Oral Language
• Phonological Awareness
• Phonics
• Word Study
• Grammar Awareness
• Vocabulary
• Comprehending and Analyzing Texts
• Creating and Composing Texts

The latter three continue to develop throughout the school years as learning in the content areas becomes more specialized.

48
Q

A salient feature of the revised curriculum for Key Stage 1 is its emphasis on…

A

Fluency in all macroskills or the ability to listen, speak, read,
and write accurately, quickly, smoothly, and with appropriate expression. This is illustrated through the integration of learning
competencies that develop fluency in all the subdomains.

49
