Markmið

Stefnt skal að því að nemendur:
• Geti hlustað á margvíslegt efni sem ekki er endilega ætlað til enskukennslu (raunefni), dregið út upplýsingar og tileinkað sér ný orð.
• Geti tekið þátt í almennum samræðum á ensku, t.d. innan kennslustofunnar við skólafélaga og kennara sem og við enskumælandi fólk eftir því sem tækifæri gefst til
• Geti lesið margvíslegan texta, t.d. óstytta bókmenntatexta ætlaða enskumælandi fólki, aðgengilega fræðitexta af ýmsum sviðum og almennt efni í blöðum, tímaritum og á Netinu.
• Geti skrifað um fjölbreytt efni, t.d. í formi rökfærsluritgerða og ýmissa styttri ritaðra texta.
• Kunni skil á grundvallaratriðum enskrar málfræði.
• Geti notað orðabækur sér til gagns og ekki einungis til að komast að merkingu orða heldur einnig varðandi notkun þeirra, orðflokk og framburð.

Námsfyrirkomulag

Í beinu framhaldi af námi í grunnskóla eru undirstöðuatriði enskrar málfræði, sérstaklega þau atriði sem reynast íslenskum nemendum erfið, rifjuð upp í efnislegu samhengi við aðra þætti námsins. Áhersla er lögð á vandlegan lestur texta með það fyrir augum að byggja upp virkan og hagnýtan orðaforða. Hraðlesið efni valið við hæfi nemenda. Markvissar hlustunaræfingar. Enskt talmál æft m.a. í tengslum við lestrar- og hlustunarefni. Skriflegi þátturinn þjálfaður með fjölbreyttum æfingum í tengslum við þá efnisflokka sem unnið er með. Nemendum leiðbeint í notkun orðabóka. Lesnar eru smásögur og skáldsaga sem hæfa getustigi nemenda. Ýmis önnur verkefni sem sameina eiga alla færniþætti tungumálsins og byggja upp almennan og sérhæfðan orðaforða eru unnin jafnt og þétt á önninni. Námsmat fer fram í formi prófs í lok annar ásamt ýmsum verkefnum og prófum á önninn.
