Facilitator’s Guide G04 ~ English Home Language
GENERAL
It is a good idea to start each lesson with a discussion on the theme. Have conversation around the theme, the illustration and the puzzle/question (if applicable) on the opening page of each lesson.
Keep a list of high-frequency errors each time you control or check learners’ spoken or written work. Have a remedial session each two-week lesson to focus on correcting these errors. Allocate time during each two-week lesson to reinforce language structures and conventions covered in previous weeks.
Where questions form part of an activity, as a general rule 10 questions have been set (this is not the norm, however.) If a learner works slower than others, you may allocate certain questions for them to answer. Do not simply choose questions 1 – 5 but rather select a range of five questions from the activity. Learners must enjoy what they do. Make each activity as light and as much fun as possible.
ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS
Each unit contains activities that form part of the formal assessment. Refer to the portfolio book for these activities, as well as all information relating to examinations.
