FOREWORD

The National Education Blueprint (PPPM) 2013-2025 aims at producing students with bilingual proficiency. As stated by the Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin bin Yassin, “English will be made a mandatory passing subject for all students sitting for their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) from 2016.” To address this, Johore State Education Department (JPNJ) has taken the lead to come up with ‘Everyone Can Pass’ (ECP) Module to help improve the students’ language acquisition level. In view of this, the teachers need to ensure that all the students will be able to pass their English Language Papers and secure an SPM certificate. Hence, the effort to produce this ECP module by JPNJ and the Engjlish Language Teachers from Segamat District is praiseworthy. To meet this demand, the ECP module aims to provide supplementary resources for the teachers to help their students. I sincerely hope that teachers will use this module to constantly guide the students to achieve the target to pass in the subject. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Johore Department Language Unit and the ECP module writers for all their effort in producing this module.

Tuan Haji Aminuddin bin Adam Johor State Education Director

FOREWORD

English Language has been announced as a must pass subject in the SPM examination by the year 2016, thus making it a critical subject for all candidates facing the examination. Therefore, much needs to be done in order to help these candidates, especially those with a weaker grasp of the language, to maintain and further improve the percentage of overall passes in Johore. The weak students face difficulties, particularly in the areas of grammar and writing. Although it cannot be denied that the teachers are trying their best to help the students improve themselves, there is still room for more. Hence, this module has been specially designed to assist the SPM students in the areas of grammar and writing, as well as targetting information transfer, comprehension and summary as part of the package. As the adage goes, ‘Practice makes perfect’. So, with this in mind, it is hoped that the extra practice provided by the module will benefit the students and they would be able to perform well in the SPM examination. I take this opportunity to thank the teachers involved in producing this module. They have worked tirelessly and sacrificed their time and energy to get the module ready for the students. Thus, I sincerely hope the students will appreciate all that these teachers have done for them and make good use of this module to improve themselves. Last but not least, I would also like to thank the Segamat District English Language Officers for the unending co-operation given by them. With their continued support, I am sure that our English Language results will improve.

En. Shanmuganathan A/L Suppiah Principal Assistant Director of English Language Johor State Education Department

GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS This ‘Everyone Can Pass’ (ECP) Module is prepared to cater for low language proficiency students.

Error Identification



Information Transfer



Reading Comprehension and Summary



Directed Writing

The exercises given are graded to help students to progress gradually through repeated practice. This module is a guide for teachers to develop their own teaching materials based on their students’ ability. As further practice, teachers can use past-year examination questions to enrich the writing techniques of their students. It is hoped that with constant guidance and practice, all students taking the SPM English Language 1119 paper will be able to pass. We believe this ECP module is a beneficial supplementary resource to complement the English Language teaching in the classroom. It is our sincere hope that teachers will make full use of the module and adapt where necessary.
