1. Learner centredness
   The learner is at the centre of the learning process. Teaching approaches, lessons and curriculum materials are differentiated according to learners’ needs and abilities.
2. Process orientation
   Language skills are process skills. Teaching and modelling the processes of reading, writing and oral communication are as important as testing the acquisition of these skills.
3. Integration
   The integration of reading, writing and oral communication as well as the integration of language materials and areas of language use in a lesson or context contribute to meaningful learning.
4. Contextualisation
   Language skills, grammatical items and structures are taught and learnt in the context of language use. Contextualisation demonstrates how purpose, audience, context and culture determine the register or appropriateness of speech and writing in both formal and informal situations.
5. Spiral progression
   Language skills, grammatical items and structures, text types and other language components are taught and revised at increasing levels of difficulty and sophistication.
6. Interaction
   Learners’ participation and interaction are important in language learning, and in fostering self confidence and social relationships among pupils from different cultural backgrounds and religions.
7. Language use
   Pupils need to know how to communicate fluently, appropriately and effectively in internationally acceptable English. They need to understand how the language system works and how language conventions can vary according to purpose, audience, context and culture, and apply this knowledge in speech and writing in both formal and informal situations. Language learning and teaching are organised around three major areas of language use:
   1. Language for information
      As speaker, writer, reader, listener and viewer, the learner will access, retrieve, evaluate, apply and present information derived from print, non-print and electronic sources.
   2. Language for literary response and expression
      As speaker, writer, reader, listener and viewer, the learner will respond creatively and critically to literary texts, relate them to personal experience, culture and society, and use language creatively to express self and identity.
   3. Language for social interaction
      As speaker, writer, reader, listener and viewer, the learner will use English effectively, both in its spoken and written form, to establish and maintain positive interpersonal relationships, taking into account purpose, audience, context and culture.
8. Learning outcomes
   The learning outcomes are the expected attainment targets for pupils at the end of each two-year period. This two-year period for the attainment of each set of learning outcomes will give teachers time and flexibility to cater to the different learning needs and abilities of their pupils.
9. Text types
   The choice of text types is determined by purpose, audience, context and culture. The variety of text types from print, non-print and electronic sources that pupils listen to, read and view will ensure that they learn English from many models of language use. This will help them to speak and write effectively.
10. Grammar
    Knowledge of grammar and how it functions contributes to effective language use. The study of grammatical features and lexis is closely related to the study of text types. Grammar and lexis contribute to the meaning of a text.
