My son’s school hasn’t started yet. They said will start for SA2 this year. SA1 is still using the old format.

I asked the tuition teacher about it and was shocked she didn’t even know about the new oral format! -

New format. Can explain briefly from the news. Thanks.

Just came back from Teachers-Parents meeting.
His Chinese teacher said that they just taught the kids this new format, hence for SA1 oral, it will still be old format. New format to be tested in SA2.
Do they have time to learn? My Dc said the school doesn’t teach oral that much for the past few years.
Is the new format difficult? -

For past years PSLE papers, any recommendation on which publisher's answer sheet is better?
raisintan, i bought the psle books recently...did not compare the answers...just go for the cheaper ones. haha! -
On the new Chinese oral format, my son’s school gave them a lecture 2 days ago and showed them a sample video. Other than that, there is no practice of such oral format.
O levels Chinese oral is also introducing videos from this year and my elder girl is in Sec 4. She already has the video format of oral last year.
I see the following challenges:
1. In the past, PSLE students memorised the model oral picture conversation. During my girl’s PSLE time 4 years ago, we had 30 such pictures (past PSLE oral pictures) and written answers from the school teachers. Now, the students cannot do such memorisation for videos.
2. The video is to be viewed during the 5-10 mins preparation time. During the preparation time, the student has to read the reading passage too. Time management is important.
3. I understand that the video will not be shown again when the student goes to the examiner’s table. This means that the students have to remember the content of the video. This is not easy under exam condition.
4. The students need to think on their feet and respond to the oral examiners. This is not easy for students too.
Schools do not have the time to prepare the students for oral as 1-1 preparation is very time consuming.
I have no solutions. Sigh! -
Yes…read that this new video format is much tougher.
