Thiru. K. Devarajan Director, SCERT, Chennai- 06 Foreword If literacy increases stupidity shall diminish
State Government has decided to implement continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation in Std VI to VIII from the academic year 2012 - 2013. The State has taken its first step towards quality education by integrating CCE with the Trimester Pattern reducing the burden of learning. Tamil Nadu is the only state to have introduced CCE along with Trimester Pattern across the country. Savoring the pride, SCERT has designed brought out guidelines for the implementation of CCE, Guidelines for implementation of Trimester Pattern and subject wise activity book for Primary and Upper Primary teachers. There teacher manuals indicate student assessment activities. They not only illustrate the activities but also provide necessary information to the teacher as to how he / she can measure the quality of learning achieved by every child in the school. CCE, when implemented as per the suggestion of this manual, shall help teachers identify the individual talents of the students but also their multiple skills. This shall help the teacher to do the assessment all through the year comprehensively. Under this innovative evaluation system, students scholastic activities, co-scholastic activities, physical education, Yoga, behaviour, wellness and lifeskills are also assessed. As assessment is done covering all the above it is easy for the teacher to assess the personality development of the students. Besides, there is enormous scope for evaluating differently abled children according to their learning pace and by consciously allowing some flexibility. In pursuance of changes in State-sponsored learning styles for the first time the state has heralded a major change in evaluation system. This change shall not only encourage teachers but also improve students and delight them. Teachers are hereby requested to assimilate the concepts illustrated in this manual to bring about welcome changes in the teaching learning processes. This shall facilitate the growth of young children into confident individuals who can design a great future for the country. Everyone expects teachers to conduct themselves in such a way realizing the fact that the destiny of a nation is shaped in its classrooms. So, I request all the teachers to carryout their responsibilities with utmost commitment and dedication.

With warm wishes Director

Introduction to Teachers Manual

Examination reform is a catchword these days. It has many foci, promoting stress-free and holistic learning being the major one among them. The evaluation system moves beyond assessing students for their content knowledge. The concept of CCE was introduced mainly to offset this deficiency in our external examination system. With the ever-increasing importance of life skills, there is now greater realization that students performance should be assessed in both scholastic as well as co-scholastic aspects. CCE refers to school-based evaluation covering both scholastic and co-scholastic areas to make the evaluation comprehensive. CCE is a system of school-based evaluation. In an effort to ease the stress and anxiety involved in the completion of a course of study, C.C.E has been evolved to evaluate a child in a non threatening environment. It is child-centered and activity based learning, promotes cognitive abilities and a variety of skills in the formative ages. It aims at a holistic development of a child with a focus on communal harmony, coexistence, growth and development. Evaluation has been built sensitively into the teaching-learning process. This leads to enhancement of quality of pedagogy permits diagnosis and remediation. Continuous evaluation reveals the strengths and weaknesses of learners periodically and helps learners to improve their learning and teachers to modify teaching strategy. It encompasses formative and summative assessments.
CCE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING:

in classrooms. The learning of languages can occur both in the formal and informal contexts. The focus has to be on empowering the learner through vocabulary, phonetics, grammar and creativity. The CCE provides ample opportunities for all the four dimensions at the same time empowering learning through role- play, debates, peer learning, group discussions and the like. All these activities facilitate both formative and summative modes of assessment. The manual aims to bring home to the teachers the objectives of language teaching in the context of CCE. Adequate exercises have been suggested to enable the teachers to understand and appreciate the meaning and spirit of CCE in order to make classroom teaching learning process effective, interesting and enjoyable. The activities listed are only suggestive and the teachers can plan similar activities in their own school environment to make learning contextual and relevant.

INTRODUCTION
Language is the most vital and basic tool for communication. Mother tongue is considered as the most powerful and convenient mode for effective communication. English, both as second language has always been considered as a language for effective communication both at the national and international level. In the Indian context, the content and pedagogy of teaching English as second language has been examined critically at various levels.

The four important dimensions of language learning include: Listening Speaking Reading Writing

The communicative approach to language teaching has emphasized on the integration of the above four components into the pedagogy of language teaching in classrooms. The learning of languages can occur both in the formal and informal contexts. The focus has to be on empowering the learner through vocabulary, phonetics, grammar and creativity. The CCE provides ample opportunities for all the four dimensions at the same time empowering learning through role-play, theatre, debates, peer learning, group discussions and the like. All these activities facilitate both formative and summative modes of assessment. This manual aims to bring home to the teachers the objectives of language teaching in the context of CCE. Adequate exercises have been suggested to enable the teachers to understand and appreciate the meaning and spirit of CCE in order to make classroom teaching-learning process effective, interesting and enjoyable. The activities listed are only suggestive and the teachers can plan similar activities in their own school environment to make learning contextual and relevant. It is also suggested that the teachers can facilitate the learners to enhance their language competency through extended learning.

A NOTE TO THE TEACHER FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT This teachers manual is a guide for the teachers. Teachers must know the difference in the activities of F.A. (a) and F.A. (b). F.A(b) activities are abundant in the text book. So, this manual high lights the activities of F.A(a) F.A(a) activities have been illustrated with examples. Model Question papers also have been annexed. Teachers are requested to make use of this manual and enrich their professional development. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT Summative Assessment is for sixty marks. It is a formal, individual, blue print based written test. It is a time scheduled test that tests knowledge, understanding, comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation and creativity. Individual activity: Each learner is evaluated. Such activities promote ones competitive spirit. Peer Group Activity: promotes team spirit. Group Projects can be given as group activities. It

Class Activity: All the children in the class may be asked to take roles in role play or drama. Class activities develop positive behaviour and strengthen social competence of children. Remedial Teaching: As per the needs of children, and as per the resourcefulness of the teacher, remedial teaching must be planned and executed. Teachers can give separate work sheets for remedial teaching or they can have retesting method. Period Allotment: In a month, minimum twenty periods are allotted to the subject, English. In the first term primary classes have two or three units only. For a month they usually have only one unit in the syllabus. So, the teachers will have enough time to have CCE in their regular functioning.
