development programme. Section 5 of these guidelines offers some
pointers relevant to the assessment of English language in the
curriculum. Together with the separate guidelines on assessment,
this section will help schools and departments to review and develop
existing assessment policies and build assessment procedures into
classroom programmes, so that they genuinely support learning
and inform next steps for individual pupils.
Section 6 of the guidelines addresses several specific
issues relating to the content and scope of English language
in the curriculum, about which teachers often express uncertainty.
The advice and ideas in this section should help to answer teachers'
questions and increase confidence in addressing these issues as
an integral part of classroom learning and teaching.
These guidelines for English Language offer advice about matters
as they relate specifically to this part of the curriculum. Some
of these issues, and other important matters, such as equal opportunities,
which should be considered in developing whole-school policies in
a cross-curricular context, will be developed and discussed in later
guidelines. |
