Syllabus for Communicative English – Std XII
Background
The curriculum for Communicative English attempts to espouse the modern theories of second language acquisition
and recent trends in English Language Curriculum design. Language is not only a means of communication, it is also a
medium through which most of our knowledge is acquired. Language acquisition involves processes of scientific enquiry
such as observation of data, classification and categorization, hypothesis formation and its verification. The curriculum
aims to move from the system of language education based on rote learning, linguistic correctness to a system of
communicative competence.
Objectives:
To develop the use of English for social interaction, academic achievement and cultural enrichment.
To develop thinking skills, study skills and promote autonomous learning
To develop linguistic proficiency.
To enable the leaner to access knowledge and information through reference skills.
To build competence in the different registers of English.
Outcomes:
By the end of the course, the students should be able to
i) Integrate the skills of language
ii) Use English fluently, accurately and effectively with spontaneity.
iii) Read English extensively and explore sources.
