1. Introduo A Transformao Curricular do Ensino Secundrio Geral (TCESG) um processo que se enquadra no Programa Quinquenal do Governo e no Plano Estratgico da Educao e Cultura e tem como objectivos:
Contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade de ensino, proporcionando aos alunos aprendizagens relevantes e apropriadas ao contexto socioeconmico do pas.
Corresponder aos desafios da actualidade atravs de um currculo diversificado, flexvel e profissionalizante.
Alargar o universo de escolhas, formando os jovens tanto para a continuao dos estudos como para o mercado de trabalho e auto emprego.
Contribuir para a construo de uma nao de paz e justia social.
Constituem principais documentos curriculares:
O Plano Curricular do Ensino Secundrio (PCESG) documento orientador que contm os objectivos, a poltica, a estrutura curricular, o plano de estudos e as estratgias de implementao;
Os programas de ensino de cada uma das disciplinas do plano de estudos; O regulamento de avaliao do Ensino Secundrio Geral (ESG); Outros materiais de apoio.
1.1. Linhas Orientadoras do Currculo do ESG O Currculo do ESG, a ser introduzido em 2008, assenta nas grandes linhas orientadoras que visam a formao integral dos jovens, fornecendo-lhes instrumentos relevantes para que continuem a aprender ao longo de toda a sua vida. O novo currculo procura por um lado, dar uma formao terica slida que integre uma componente profissionalizante e, por outro, permitir aos jovens a aquisio de competncias relevantes para uma integrao plena na vida poltica, social e econmica do pas. As consultas efectuadas apontam para a necessidade de a escola responder s exigncias do mercado cada vez mais moderno que apela s habilidades comunicativas, ao domnio das Tecnologias de Informao e Comunicao, resoluo rpida e eficaz de problemas, entre outros desafios.
Assim, o novo programa do ESG dever responder aos desafios da educao, assegurando uma formao integral do indivduo que assenta em quatro pilares, assim descritos:
Saber Ser que preparar o Homem moambicano no sentido espiritual, crtico e esttico, de modo que possa ser capaz de elaborar pensamentos autnomos, crticos e formular os seus prprios juzos de valor que estaro na base das decises individuais que tiver de tomar em diversas circunstncias da sua vida; Saber Conhecer que a educao para a aprendizagem permanente de conhecimentos cientficos slidos e a aquisio de instrumentos necessrios para a

compreenso, a interpretao e a avaliao crtica dos fenmenos sociais, econmicos, polticos e naturais; Saber Fazer que proporciona uma formao e qualificao profissional slida, um esprito empreendedor no aluno/formando para que ele se adapte no s ao meio produtivo actual, mas tambm s tendncias de transformao no mercado; Saber viver juntos e com os outros que traduz a dimenso tica do Homem, isto , saber comunicar-se com os outros, respeitar-se a si, sua famlia e aos outros homens de diversas culturas, religies, raas, entre outros. Agenda 2025:129
Estes saberes interligam-se ao longo da vida do indivduo e implicam que a educao se organize em torno deles de modo a proporcionar aos jovens instrumentos para compreender o mundo, agir sobre ele, cooperar com os outros, viver, participar e comportar-se de forma responsvel. Neste quadro, o desafio da escola , pois, fornecer as ferramentas tericas e prticas relevantes para que os jovens e os adolescentes sejam bem sucedidos como indivduos, e como cidados responsveis e teis na famlia, na comunidade e na sociedade, em geral. 1.2. Os desafios da Escola A escola confronta-se com o desafio de preparar os jovens para a vida. Isto significa que o papel da escola transcende os actos de ensinar a ler, a escrever, a contar ou de transmitir grandes quantidades de conhecimentos de histria, geografia, biologia ou qumica, entre outros. Torna-se, assim, cada vez mais importante preparar o aluno para aprender a aprender e para aplicar os seus conhecimentos ao longo da vida.
Perante este desafio, que competncias so importantes para uma integrao plena na vida? As competncias importantes para a vida referem-se ao conjunto de recursos, isto , conhecimentos, habilidades atitudes, valores e comportamentos que o indivduo mobiliza para enfrentar com sucesso exigncias complexas ou realizar uma tarefa, na vida quotidiana. Isto significa que para resolver um determinado problema, tomar decises informadas, pensar crtica e criativamente ou relacionar-se com os outros um indivduo necessita de combinar um conjunto de conhecimentos, prticas e valores. Naturalmente que o desenvolvimento das competncias no cabe apenas escola, mas tambm sociedade, a quem cabe definir quais devero ser consideradas importantes, tendo em conta a realidade do pas. Neste contexto, reserva-se escola o papel de desenvolver, atravs do currculo, no s as competncias viradas para o desenvolvimento das habilidades de comunicao, leitura e escrita, matemtica e clculo, mas tambm, as competncias gerais, actualmente reconhecidas como cruciais para o desenvolvimento do indivduo e necessrias para o seu bem-estar, nomeadamente:
a) Comunicao nas lnguas moambicana, portuguesa, inglesa e francesa; b) Desenvolvimento da autonomia pessoal e a auto-estima; de estratgias de aprendizagem e
busca metdica de informao em diferentes meios e uso de tecnologia; c) Desenvolvimento de juzo crtico, rigor, persistncia e qualidade na realizao e apresentao
dos trabalhos; d) Resoluo de problemas que reflectem situaes quotidianas da vida econmica social do pas
e do mundo; e) Desenvolvimento do esprito de tolerncia e cooperao e habilidade para se relacionar bem
com os outros; f) Uso de leis, gesto e resoluo de conflitos; g) Desenvolvimento do civismo e cidadania responsveis;

h) Adopo de comportamentos responsveis com relao sua sade e da comunidade bem como em relao ao alcoolismo, tabagismo e outras drogas;
i) Aplicao da formao profissionalizante na reduo da pobreza; j) Capacidade de lidar com a complexidade, diversidade e mudana; k) Desenvolvimento de projectos estratgias de implementao individualmente ou em grupo; l) Adopo de atitudes positivas em relao aos portadores de deficincias, idosos e crianas.
Importa destacar que estas competncias encerram valores a serem desenvolvidos na prtica educativa no contexto escolar e extra-escolar, numa perspectiva de aprender a fazer fazendo.
(...) o aluno aprender a respeitar o prximo se tiver a oportunidade de experimentar situaes em que este valor visvel. O aluno s aprender a viver num ambiente limpo se a escola estiver limpa e promover o asseio em todos os espaos escolares. O aluno cumprir as regras de comportamento se elas forem exigidas e cumpridas por todos os membros da comunidade escolar de forma coerente e sistemtica.
PCESG:27
Neste contexto, o desenvolvimento de valores como a igualdade, liberdade, justia, solidariedade, humildade, honestidade, tolerncia, responsabilidade, perseverana, o amor ptria, o amor prprio, o amor verdade, o amor ao trabalho, o respeito pelo prximo e pelo bem comum, dever estar ancorado prtica educativa e estar presente em todos os momentos da vida da escola.
As competncias acima indicadas so relevantes para que o jovem, ao concluir o ESG esteja preparado para produzir o seu sustento e o da sua famlia e prosseguir os estudos nos nveis subsequentes.
Perspectiva-se que o jovem seja capaz de lidar com economias em mudana, isto , adaptar-se a uma economia baseada no conhecimento, em altas tecnologias e que exigem cada vez mais novas habilidades relacionadas com adaptabilidade, adopo de perspectivas mltiplas na resoluo de problemas, competitividade, motivao, empreendedorismo e a flexibilidade de modo a ter vrias ocupaes ao longo da vida. 1.3. A Abordagem Transversal A transversalidade apresenta-se no currculo do ESG como uma estratgia didctica com vista um desenvolvimento integral e harmonioso do indivduo. Com efeito, toda a comunidade escolar chamada a contribuir na formao dos alunos, envolvendo-os na resoluo de situaes - problema parecidas com as que se vo confrontar na vida. No currculo do ESG prev-se uma abordagem transversal das competncias gerais e dos temas transversais. De referir que, embora os valores se encontrem impregnados nas competncias e nos temas j definidos no PCESG, importante que as aces levadas a cabo na escola e as atitudes dos seus intervenientes sobretudo dos professores constituam um modelo do saber ser, conviver com os outros e bem fazer. Neste contexto, toda a prtica educativa gravita em torno das competncias acima definidas de tal forma que as oportunidades de aprendizagem criadas no ambiente escolar e fora dele contribuam para o seu desenvolvimento. Assim, espera-se que as actividades curriculares e co-curriculares sejam suficientemente desafiantes e estimulem os alunos a mobilizar conhecimentos, habilidades, atitudes e valores. O currculo do ESG prev ainda a abordagem de temas transversais, de forma explcita, ao longo do ano lectivo. Considerando as especificidades de cada disciplina, so dadas

indicaes para a sua abordagem no plano temtico, nas sugestes metodolgicas e no texto de apoio sobre os temas transversais. O desenvolvimento de projectos comuns constitui-se tambm com uma estratgias que permite estabelecer ligaes interdisciplinares, mobilizar as competncias treinadas em vrias reas de conhecimento para resolver problemas concretos. Assim, espera-se que as actividades a realizar no mbito da planificao e implementao de projectos, envolvam professores, alunos e at a comunidade e constituam em momentos de ensino-aprendizagem significativos. 1.4 As Lnguas no ESG A comunicao constitui uma das competncias considerada chave num mundo globalizado. No currculo do ESG, so usados a lngua oficial (Portugus), lnguas Moambicanas, lnguas estrangeiras (Ingls e Francs). As habilidades comunicativas desenvolvem-se atravs de um envolvimento conjugado de todas as disciplinas e no se reserva apenas s disciplinas especficas de lnguas. Todos os professores devero assegurar que alunos se expressem com clareza e que saibam adequar o seu discurso s diferentes situaes de comunicao. A correco lingustica dever ser uma exigncia constante nas produes dos alunos em todas as disciplinas. O desafio da escola criar espaos para a prtica das lnguas tais como a promoo da leitura (concursos literrios, sesses de poesia), debates sobre temas de interesse dos alunos, sesses para a apresentao e discusso de temas ou trabalhos de pesquisa, exposies, actividades culturais em datas festivas e comemorativas, entre outros momentos de prtica da lngua numa situao concreta. Os alunos devero ser encorajados a ler obras diversas e a fazer comentrios sobre elas e seus autores, a escrever sobre temas variados, a dar opinies sobre factos ouvidos ou lidos nos rgos de comunicao social, a expressar ideias contrrias ou criticar de forma apropriada, a buscar informaes e a sistematiz-la. Particular destaque dever ser dado literatura representativa de cada uma das lnguas e, no caso da lngua oficial e das lnguas moambicanas, o estudo de obras de autores moambicanos constitui um pilar para o desenvolvimento do esprita patritico e exaltao da moambicanidade. 1.5. O Papel do Professor O papel da escola preparar os jovens de modo a torn-los cidados activos e responsveis na famlia, no meio em que vivem (cidade, aldeia, bairro, comunidade) ou no trabalho.
Para conseguir este feito, o professor dever colocar desafios aos seus alunos, envolvendo-os em actividades ou projectos, colocando problemas concretos e complexos. A preparao do aluno para a vida passa por uma formao em que o ensino e as matrias leccionadas tenham significado para a vida do jovem e possam ser aplicados a situaes reais.
O ensino - aprendizagem das diferentes disciplinas que constituem o currculo far mais sentido se estiver ancorado aos quatro saberes acima descritos interligando os contedos inerentes disciplina, s componentes transversais e s situaes reais.

Tendo presente que a tarefa do professor facilitar a aprendizagem, importante que este consiga:
Organizar tarefas ou projectos que induzam os alunos a mobilizar os seus conhecimentos, habilidades e valores para encontrar ou propor alternativas de solues;
Encontrar pontos de interligao entre as disciplinas que propiciem o desenvolvimento de competncias. Por exemplo, envolver os alunos numa actividade, projecto ou dar um problema que os obriga a recorrer a conhecimentos, procedimentos e experincias de outras reas do saber;
Acompanhar as diferentes etapas do trabalho para poder observar os alunos, motiv-los e corrigi-los durante o processo de trabalho;
Criar, nos alunos, o gosto pelo saber como uma ferramenta para compreender o mundo e transform-lo;
Avaliar os alunos no quadro das competncias que esto a ser desenvolvidas, numa perspectiva formativa.
Este empreendimento exige do professor uma mudana de atitude em relao ao saber, profisso, aos alunos e colegas de outras disciplinas. Com efeito, o sucesso deste programa passa pelo trabalho colaborativo e harmonizado entre os professores de todas as disciplinas. Neste sentido, no se pode falar em desenvolvimento de competncias para vida, de interdisciplinaridade se os professores no dialogam, no desenvolvem projectos comuns ou se fecham nas suas prprias disciplinas. Um projecto de recolha de contos tradicionais ou da histria local poder envolver diferentes disciplinas. Por exemplo:
- Portugus colaboraria na elaborao do guio de recolha, estrutura, redaco e correco dos textos;
- Histria ocupar-se-ia dos aspectos tcnicos da recolha deste tipo de fontes; - Geografia integraria aspectos geogrficos, fsicos e socio- econmicos da regio; - Educao Visual ficaria responsvel pelas ilustraes e cartazes.
Com estes projectos treinam-se habilidades, desenvolvem-se atitudes de trabalhar em equipa, de anlise, de pesquisa, de resolver problemas e a auto-estima, contribuindo assim para o desenvolvimento das competncias mais gerais definidas no PCESG.
As metodologias activas e participativas propostas, centradas no aluno e viradas para o desenvolvimento de competncias para a vida pretendem significar que, o professor no mais um centro transmissor de informaes e conhecimentos, expondo a matria para reproduo e memorizao pelos alunos. O aluno no um receptculo de informaes e conhecimentos. O aluno deve ser um sujeito activo na construo do conhecimento e pesquisa de informao, reflectindo criticamente sobre a sociedade.
O professor deve assumir-se como criador de situaes de aprendizagem, regulando os recursos e aplicando uma pedagogia construtivista. O seu papel na liderana de uma comunidade escolar implica ainda que seja um mediador e defensor intercultural, organizador democrtico e gestor da heterogeneidade vivencial dos alunos.
As metodologias de ensino devem desenvolver no aluno: a capacidade progressiva de conceber e utilizar conceitos; maior capacidade de trabalho individual e em grupo;

entusiasmo, esprito competitivo, aptides e gostos pessoais; o gosto pelo raciocnio e debate de ideias; o interesse pela integrao social e vocao profissional.

5. Methodology
The general teaching approach adopted for both primary and secondary education in
Mozambique, is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). The present syllabus is,
therefore, based upon this approach.
To allow teachers flexibility, the teaching methods, procedures and techniques will be
selected according to the specific goals, conditions and resources available to the teacher and
students. Considering that our classrooms are heterogeneous, it is also accepted that the same
lesson can be taught using different procedures and techniques by different teachers.
The syllabus contains some innovations such as the introduction of projects and portfolio
(appendix 1) as both teaching and assessment tools that foster learners independence.
Aiming at achieving the general and specific unit objectives and basic competencies, each
unit contains suggestions for activities, critical thinking and crosscutting issues, which can be
explored by the teacher in the classroom. It is therefore urged that teachers implement them.
Some activities are specific to a certain unit but others are repeated in every unit.
The balance of skills and activities in this grade should be 60 percent oracy (Listening and
Speaking) and 40 percent writing (Reading and writing).
6. Assessment
Assessment can be defined as the formal or informal process of collecting evidence about
students progress, analyzing and evaluating progress, communicating about progress, and
adjusting teaching practice based on reflection on a teachers practice. There are various
forms of assessment, including formal measurement tools such as tests. Informal assessment
can occur throughout the school year, and includes evaluating data from multiple sources,
such as exercises, portfolios, homework or assignments that enable you to measure student
progress.

There are two main ways in which assessment is important in learning - formative and
summative.
Formative assessment is an assessment carried out by teachers during the learning process
with the aim of using the results to improve the learning and teaching process. It relates to
how the student has been learning. It can use both formal (tests) and informal measurement
tools whether group work, projects, portfolios etc
Summative assessment is carried out in predetermined periods and at the end of term or
school year often for purposes of providing aggregated information on learning outcomes to
educational authorities and parents. It relates to what and how much the student has learnt.
This is usually done through tests, quizzes and exams (ACSs and ACPs).
The New Curriculum emphasizes formative assessment, which gives scope for the inclusion
of informal assessment also known as classroom assessment The inclusion of classroom
assessment is also in line with the general teaching philosophy of the constructivist approach
to learning.
Formative assessment includes the evaluation of any activity related to learning process such
as participation, homework, pair and group work, portfolio, projects, presentations and
posters. This type of assessment allows the student to be an active participant in the process of
learning and assessment. The aim of this type of assessment is to involve the students in
thinking about how they learn and encourage them to take control of their learning. Thus, by
assessing all the above aspects will not only provide data on the quantitative knowledge but
also the qualitative aspects.
As put forward by this new syllabus, teachers are strongly recommended to include and use
formative assessment to cater for the qualitative aspect. Assessment is an important part in the
teaching and learning process and it cannot be disassociated from the activities, procedures,
methods and learning materials used in the classroom.

Portfolio Student Portfolios: Classroom Uses What is it? Portfolios are collections of student work representing a selection of performance. A portfolio may be a folder containing a students best pieces and the students evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the pieces. It may also contain one or more works-in-progress that illustrate the creation of a product, such as an essay, evolving through various stages of conception, drafting, and revision. More teachers have recently begun using portfolios in all subject areas. Portfolios are useful as a support to the new teaching approaches that emphasize the students role in constructing understanding and the teachers role in promoting understanding. For example, in teaching writing, portfolios can function to illustrate the range of assignments, goals, and audiences for which a student produced written material. In addition, portfolios can be a record of the activities undertaken over time in the development of written products. They can also be used to support cooperative teaming by offering an opportunity for students to share and comment on each others work. Portfolios are valued as an assessment tool because, as representations of classroom-based performance, they can be fully integrated into the teaching. And unlike separate tests, they supplement rather than take time away from teaching. Moreover, many teachers, educators, and researchers believe that portfolio assessments are more effective than old-style tests for measuring academic skills and informing educational decisions. Why try it? Portfolios capitalize on students natural tendency to save work and become an effective way to get them to take a second look and think about how they could improve future work. As any teacher or student can confirm, this method is a clear departure from the old write, hand in, and forget mentality, where first drafts were considered final products. How does it work? Although there is no single correct way to develop portfolio programs, in all of them students are expected to collect, select, and reflect. Early in the school year, students are pressed to

consider: What would I like to reread or share with my parents or a friend? What makes a particular piece of writing a good product? In building a portfolio of selected pieces and explaining the basis for their choices, students generate criteria for good work, with teacher and peer input. Students need specifics with clear guidelines and examples to get started on their work, so these discussions need to be well guided and structured. The earlier the discussions begin the better. The content in portfolios is built from class assignments and as such corresponds to the classroom. Often, portfolio programs are initiated by teachers, who know their classroom syllabus best. They may develop portfolios focused on a single syllabus area-such as writing, posters, reading,-or they may develop portfolio programs that integrate more than one area, such as writing and reading. The age/grade level of students may determine how portfolios are developed and used. For example, in developing criteria for judging good writing, older students are more likely to be able to help determine the criteria by which work is selected, perhaps through brainstorming sessions with the teacher and other students. Younger students may need more directed help to decide on what work to include. Older students are generally better at keeping logs to report their progress on readings and other recurrent projects. Administrative contexts also influence the structure and use of portfolios. While the primary purpose of portfolios for most teachers is to engage students, support good curricula and instruction, and improve student teaming, some portfolio programs are designed to serve other purposes as well. Portfolios may also be used to compare achievement across classrooms or schools. When they are used for this purpose, fairness requires that standards be developed to specify the types of work that can be included and the criteria used to evaluate the work.

LESSON PLAN FORMAT/MODEL
Name of the school Teacher Material Unit Topic Duration of the lesson Objectives: (insert objectives from scheme of work, i.e. derived from the syllabus objectives for each unit.). The objectives state what Ss should be able to do by the end of the lesson in terms of language, functions, forms, skills, vocabulary and so on. . STAGES Warm up: (State time allowed and activities that Teachers (T) and Students (Ss) will do during the whole class) a phase where T prepares Ss to get started for the lesson, i.e. song, game, questions and answers, story telling, revision of previous lesson, etc. Presentation: (State time allowed and activities T and Ss will do during this stage and/or sub-stages). Here T introduces new grammar; vocabulary, pronunciation, etc. focus on communication and differentiation between forms (e.g. tenses) and functions (e.g. express opinions/points of view). Elicitation Invite Ss to answer voluntarily questions put by the Teacher. The questions should guide Ss towards the discovery of main points to be learnt. Explanation T explains the content/concepts/activities/focus topic/drills on new learnt issues, etc. Practice: (State time allowed and activities T and Ss will do during this stage and/or sub-stages). Students are asked to work on activities to practice language forms (e.g. grammar points, vocabulary old and new, pronunciation) presented by the Teacher in stage 2. This could be controlled or free practice. Controlled practice The teacher guides and controls the kind of expected responses; Free practice Ss are free to perform tasks to reinforce knowledge acquired earlier. This can be achieved through improvisation, communicative actives, presentations, writing, homework, portfolios and so on.
