General Achievments At the end of Phase D, students in Islamic boarding schools use oral, written, and visual texts in English to interact and
communicate in various contexts, both formal and informal, incorporating elements of compassion. They are able to
use various types of texts such as narratives, descriptions, procedures, special texts (short messages, advertisements),
and authentic texts as the main references in learning English in this phase, while considering the values of kindness
and empathy in their communication.
Students use English to discuss and express their desires/feelings, paying attention to sensitivity towards the feelings
and needs of others. Their understanding of written texts continues to develop, and they begin to use inference skills to
understand implied information, including understanding and responding with empathy to the experiences of others.
They are also able to produce structured written and visual texts in English with a wider range of vocabulary, while
considering sensitivity to the values of compassion in their message delivery. They understand the purpose and
audience when producing written and visual texts in English, as well as considering their impact on the well-being and
common good.
Learning Objectives Listening-Speaking:
Per Elements
By the end of Phase D, students use English to interact and exchange ideas, experiences, interests, opinions, and views
with teachers, peers, and others in an increasing variety of familiar formal and informal contexts. With some repetition
and rewording, they comprehend the main ideas and relevant details of discussions or presentations on a variety of
general interest topics, demonstrating empathy and understanding towards others' perspectives. They engage in
discussions such as giving opinions, making comparisons, and stating preferences, with a compassionate approach that
considers the feelings and viewpoints of others. They explain and clarify their answers using basic sentence structure
and verb tenses, ensuring their communication is clear and respectful, reflecting the values of kindness and empathy
fostered in the environment of the pesantren.
Reading-Viewing:
By the end of Phase D, students independently read and respond to familiar and unfamiliar texts containing predictable
structures and familiar vocabulary. They locate and evaluate main ideas and specific information in texts of different
genres. These texts may be in the form of print or digital texts, including visual, multimodal, or interactive texts. They
identify the purpose of texts and begin to make inference to comprehend implicit information in the text. Additionally,
they demonstrate the ability to show empathy towards the characters and themes presented in the texts they
read and sensitivity towards the perspectives and experiences of others when evaluating ideas and information
in the text.
Writing-Presenting:
By the end of Phase D, students communicate their ideas and experiences through simple, organized paragraphs,
demonstrating a developing use of specific vocabulary and simple sentence structures. Using models, they plan, create,
and present informative, imaginative, and persuasive texts in simple and compound sentences to structure arguments
and to explain or justify a position. They include basic information and detail, and also vary their sentence
construction in their writing. Students express ideas in the present, future, and past tenses. They use time markers,
adverbs of frequency, and common conjunctions to link ideas. Their attempts to spell new words are based on known
English letter-sound relationships, and they use punctuation and capitalization with consistency. Additionally, they
demonstrate the ability to show empathy towards others in their communication process and conveying their
ideas, and consideration towards the perspectives and experiences of others when writing and presenting texts.
