1.1 Standards for Graduate Teachers
Language proficiency – Teachers must have strong command of the target
language, being able to use it accurately in both spoken and written forms.
Pedagogical knowledge – Teachers should understand how to teach reading,
writing, listening, and speaking effectively.
Classroom practice – Teachers are expected to plan lessons, use appropriate
teaching resources, and adapt methods for diverse learners.
Assessment skills – They must be able to evaluate learners fairly, provide
constructive feedback, and use results to improve learning.
Professional conduct – Teachers should display ethical behaviour, lifelong
learning, and reflective practice in order to improve their teaching continuously.
In essence, the standards emphasise proficiency, pedagogy, assessment,
classroom management, and professionalism.
1.2 Speaking Component (5 marks)
Clear pronunciation ensures that learners can be understood by others, building
their confidence.
Incorrect pronunciation may lead to misunderstanding, poor communication, and
lack of confidence in real-life interactions.
Good pronunciation supports reading and spelling, since learners connect
sounds with written words.
In the Foundation Phase, children are still developing speech patterns; early
correction prevents fossilisation of errors.
