English Language Arts Level 3, Semester 1, Facilitator’s Manual (Field Test Version)

The curriculum is divided into six modules, with each module building on and reinforcing language skills learned in previous modules. The first two modules, A and B, review skills taught in Level 2 Literacy for Work, while subsequent modules introduce new concepts and skills. The ELA curriculum focuses on developing reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, as well as research skills. Learners are guided through a range of skills needed to become proficient in using the language, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The curriculum also provides opportunities for learners to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as work-related writing skills. The curriculum is designed to prepare learners for further education, such as junior secondary school or vocational training, and to improve their livelihoods. It also aims to help learners become better readers and writers, communicate more effectively at work and in their community, and develop a wider range of texts. Additionally, the curriculum encourages reading for pleasure and enjoyment. The Alternative Basic Education Curriculum in Liberia is based on the September 2013 Alternative Basic Education Curriculum. The curriculum is designed to be implemented in a field test version, with the goal of assessing its effectiveness and making necessary adjustments before widespread implementation. The curriculum includes 37 lessons, divided into two modules: Language Arts Module A and Language Arts Module B. Module A covers topics such as introduction to folklore, characters in folklore, and traditions that change. Module B focuses on agriculture and nation-building, with lessons on farmers as nation builders, growing crops in Liberia, and planning for the future. The curriculum is designed to be implemented by facilitators who will teach practical reading and writing skills to learners. The facilitators will guide learners through a range of skills needed to become proficient in using the language, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The curriculum also provides opportunities for learners to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as work-related writing skills. The Alternative Basic Education Curriculum in Liberia is an important step towards improving the literacy and education outcomes of Liberian learners. By providing learners with essential ELA skills, the curriculum aims to prepare them for further education and improve their livelihoods.
