Implementation of modular approach for P2 CL:

There is no modular approach for P1 CL. Differentiated

teaching will be carried out instead.

Students who can cope with more content Core Enrichment



Assessment

No Continual Assessments (CAs) and Semestral Assessments (SAs) for P1

P2 is the same as P1 except for SA2 at end of P2.

Bite-sized assessments assessing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills will be conducted.

All dates of the bite-sized assessments will be announced to pupils at least one week in advance.

Pupils will be tested only after the relevant

lessons are taught.
