2018年O水准考试英文大纲


AIMS OF TEACHING SYLLABUS

By the end of Secondary education, pupils will be able to communicate effectively in English as a result of their development in the following areas:

1. Listen, read and view critically and with accuracy, understanding and appreciation, a wide range of literary and informational/functional texts from print and non-print sources.

2. Speak, write and represent in internationally acceptable English (Standard English) that is grammatical, fluent, mutually intelligible and appropriate for different purposes, audiences, contexts and cultures.

3. Understand and use internationally acceptable English (Standard English) grammar and vocabulary accurately and appropriately as well as understand how speakers/writers put words together and use language to communicate meaning and achieve impact.

These aims, taken from English Language Syllabus 2010: Primary & Secondary (Express/Normal [Academic]), p.10, form the broad basis of a course of study; they may not all be translated into Assessment Objectives for formal examination.

In this English Language examination, candidates will be assessed on their ability to:

• speak and write using appropriate register and tone

• speak and write clearly, effectively, relevantly and coherently

• plan, organise and show development of ideas

• use varied sentence structures and a wide and appropriate vocabulary with clarity and precision

• use correct grammar, punctuation and spelling

• show understanding of a variety of written, spoken and visual texts at the literal, inferential and evaluative levels

• identify main ideas and details in written, spoken and visual texts
