2. Scheme of Work Template: Supporting Information

1. Lesson
Each lesson within the Scheme of Work is given a number followed by the lesson type. For
example, Lesson: 6 (Listening 2); Lesson: 21 (Language Arts 4).

2. Main Skill Focus

Each lesson has one main skill focus. If the focus of the lesson is not on language skills
(Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing), then the main skill focus will reflect the focus area of
the lesson (e.g. Language Awareness, Language Arts, Project-Based Learning lesson).

3. Theme

The three given themes are:
 World of Self, Family and Friends

 World of Knowledge

 World of Stories

4. Topic

Topics are taken from the textbook in textbook-based lessons. Topics for non-textbook lessons
are either suggested for these lessons, guided by CCL content or decided by the teachers.

5. Cross-Curricular Elements

Each cycle of lessons has been assigned one Cross-Curricular Element or more. Teachers
will need to refer to the section on Cross-Curricular Elements in Standards-Based Curriculum
and Assessment Document (DSKP) for further guidance. Teachers are encouraged to link to
other Cross-Curricular Elements within a lesson cycle, in addition to the suggested one given,
if they identify opportunities where relevant cross-curricular connections can be made.

6. Language/Grammar Focus

This is related to the grammatical structure/function (for example, Present Simple and Past
Simple) that is the focus of the lesson. This language/grammar is usually presented and
practised using a skill (Listening, Speaking, Reading or Writing). It is not expected that
language is taught explicitly or formally.

7. Content Standards and Learning Standards
The given Content and Learning Standards are taken from the Standards-Based Curriculum
and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the Curriculum Framework document. These should
be followed as they appear in the lessons to ensure the Learning Standards are covered
as intended.
