1. Overview of the Schemes of Work and Documentation List

The purpose of this Teacher Support Document is to provide teachers with the necessary information and
guidance to deliver lessons using the provided Schemes of Work and syllabus. This document will not only
give teachers detailed information on the specific lesson procedures to be followed within the Schemes of
Work (see Sections 2 – 6), but also offer teachers more general pedagogical support and hopefully
contribute to on-going professional development (see Sections 7 – 10).

In conjunction with this Teacher Development Document, there are:

 Schemes of Work for Preschool 4+ and Preschool 5+
 various support materials for teachers
 syllabus document.

The Schemes of Work have been divided into eight topic areas for 4+,(e.g. my weather, my classroom,
my body) and eight topic areas for 5+, (e.g. my school, my world, my clothes).Full details of the selected
topics and the accompanying target lexical items and language structures (both productive and receptive)
can be found within the 4+ and 5+ syllabus document. The 5+ syllabus document also provides three
additional topic areas (i.e. transport, my town and occupations) that teachers may wish to use.

Each topic consists of eight lessons with each lesson lasting a total of 30 minutes. Each topic therefore
will cover a total of 4 hours (8 lessons x 30 minutes). The eight topic lessons are broken down into the
following lesson types:

 Lesson 1: Listening
 Lesson 2: Listening and Speaking 1
 Lesson 3: Listening and Speaking 2
 Lesson 4: Listening and Speaking 3
 Lesson 5: Listening and Speaking 4
 Lesson 6: Reading 1
 Lesson 7: Reading 2
 Lesson 8: Reading and Writing
The Scheme of Work provides teachers with lesson outlines for four of the eight topic areas. Each of these
four topic areas are accompanied by a set of support materials which teachers can use or adapt according
to their local context.

Teachers will be required to create lesson outlines/lesson plans for the remaining four topic areas. The
lesson outlines are based on the ‘EEE model’ of Encounter, Engage and Exploit. Full details of this EEE
model can be found below in Section 2 of this document (see p.6 – p.20).

Each lesson is divided into 3 stages:

 Pre-lesson routines (see Section 4)
 Lesson development (see Section 2)
 Post-lesson routines (see Section 4)

Each of the lesson outlines will show teachers which activities are to be used for each stage of the lesson.
For example, the Lesson development stage will include a number of Encounter, Engage and Exploit
activities. Full details of these activities can be found in Section 2 of this document. Also included within
each of the lesson outlines are suggested materials and additional resources that teachers may wish to
use and/or adapt.
