Abstract
The curriculum emphasizes the importance of reading, writing, and comprehension in various contexts. Language and communication skills are divided into three categories: injonctive, narrative, and descriptive texts. Injonctive texts involve giving instructions or making requests, while narrative texts tell stories and describe events. Descriptive texts provide detailed descriptions of people, places, and objects. The curriculum outlines specific objectives and activities for each category of text. For injonctive texts, students are expected to learn how to follow instructions and give orders. They will learn to identify and use vocabulary related to instructions, such as "prendre" (take) and "mettre" (put). Students will also practice writing short texts that provide instructions, such as a recipe or a set of directions. In narrative texts, students will learn to tell stories and describe events. They will practice reading and writing short stories, identifying characters, settings, and plot. Students will also learn to use vocabulary related to narrative texts, such as "avant" (before) and "après" (after). Descriptive texts involve providing detailed descriptions of people, places, and objects. Students will learn to use vocabulary related to description, such as "grand" (big) and "petit" (small). They will practice writing short texts that describe people, places, and objects, such as a description of a person's appearance or a description of a place. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of comprehension and critical thinking skills. Students will learn to identify and analyze the main ideas and supporting details in texts. They will practice making inferences and drawing conclusions based on the information provided in the text. Throughout the curriculum, students will engage in various activities, such as reading, writing, and speaking. They will also participate in group discussions and debates to develop their critical thinking and communication skills. The curriculum is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of individual students and classrooms. The curriculum is divided into several levels, each with its own set of objectives and activities. The levels are designed to build on previous knowledge and skills, with each level becoming increasingly more challenging. The curriculum is intended to be completed over a period of several years, with students progressing from one level to the next as they demonstrate mastery of the skills and knowledge. Overall, the curriculum for primary education in Senegal is designed to develop students' language and communication skills in a variety of contexts. By emphasizing comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills, the curriculum prepares students for success in a rapidly changing world.
