Course Description
The Grade 2 English program strengthens foundational skills and develops students’ ability to communicate in English with greater confidence. Students listen to short stories, follow simple dialogues, describe daily activities, and provide personal information such as where they live and their hobbies.
Reading skills expand to include sentences and short paragraphs, while writing progresses from copying dictations to composing guided simple sentences. Students begin to read and write more independently, gaining confidence in understanding and forming complete English sentences.
By the end of Grade 2, they can use basic grammar to describe routines, recognize and understand the meaning of English commands, and write short, simple sentences about themselves.
🔹 Learning Content
Language:
The Grade 2 English program expands students’ vocabulary to include topics such as emotions, weather, transportation, homes, and daily routines. Students begin using the present simple tense to describe repeated actions, learn to form Wh– questions, and apply basic prepositions to describe location.
Reading Skills:
Students are introduced to short stories and other informational text types such as character description charts and simple forms. They practice predicting content from pictures, locating specific details, and matching information with illustrations, gradually improving reading comprehension.
Listening Skills:
Listening practice focuses on understanding short dialogues of 2–3 exchanges, simple descriptions, and commands. Students work on identifying true/false information, finding specific details, and connecting audio to visual cues, preparing for longer listening comprehension tasks.
Speaking Skills:
Students practice extending speaking structures to describe emotions, present preferences, routines, and daily activities. They continue to form complete sentences with correct use of pronouns and main verbs, aiming for clear and accurate communication.
Writing Skills:
The Grade 2 English program guides students to write simple sentences, fill in personal information on forms, and create basic greeting cards or messages. Assessment criteria include correct grammar structure, accurate use of learned vocabulary, and clear sentence organization.
🔹 Learning Methodology
The Grade 2 English program is designed to develop core language skills through a combination of direct guidance and interactive, student-centered learning. The curriculum follows a step-by-step approach, helping students improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills using interactive video tools, storytelling, illustrations, mind maps, and quick knowledge-check question sets.
Learning is reinforced through practical activities and communicative tasks that encourage students to express their ideas, ask questions, and engage in meaningful exchanges. Writing projects are integrated throughout the course, giving students opportunities to practice sentence construction, organize ideas, and express themselves clearly in various forms such as personal narratives, descriptions, and simple instructions.
In this learning model, the teacher acts as a facilitator rather than a daily instructor. Instead, the teacher supports students through scheduled meetings, provides clarification and feedback, and encourages them to apply language skills independently and effectively in their learning tasks.
