Form 5 Alim
There were only 5 students who managed to bag Grade A in the
2014 SPM examination compared to 2013 with 12 As. 10
students who were expected to score Grade A in the 2014 SPM
examination, scored Grade B instead. One student expected to
get Grade B got C+ instead. 3 students scored Grade C+. During
the SPM examination, students did mentioned Section D in
Paper 2 being the hardest.
As for Paper 1 Section B (Directed Writing), students were
happy with the titles given to them as it was easy.
Nevertheless, regardless of the titles given to them, students
would still have to write essay with minimal grammatical errors
to score better Grades.
Suggestion 5 Alim 2015
Paper 2 – Section B (Directed Writing)
 Essay writing should be carried out in class at least once
every 2 weeks and markings by teachers should be done
meticulously.
 Discussion on students’ errors must be highlighted on the
whiteboard and copied by students as future references so
as they won’t repeat the same mistakes when writing the
next week.
 Before composing essay the next week, teacher should
direct students to their previous essay to remind them of
the errors they’ve committed. Hopefully it will help to
minimize students’ errors.
 A copy of the table of tenses must be provided early in the
year to students for references when composing essays.
 Teachers provide good and interesting sample essays to
trigger students creativity in writing.
Paper 1 – Section D (The Curse-Novel)
 Cover to cover understanding of the Novel is vital. This will
prepare students to face any questions thrown to them
especially in SPM examination.
 Sample questions in plenty should be provided to serve as
practice.
 When answering, students must write short summary of
the Novel for paragraph 1 before attacking the given
question. This will help them to secure marks for
Language. Get students to write the same short summary
every time in class so when they enter the exam hall, it is
already planted in their brain.
Form 5 Amal and 5 Adil
Two students score As. this students was able to bag Grade A
because his English level was quite good. He proved to be
better than few of the candidates in 5 Alim last year. His good
literacy and proficiency in the language helped him score A in
the paper seventy students passed in the exam. Two students
score B, three students score C in this class and fifty two other
score a pass in the paper. In this class, the methods used were
as mention below
i Implementation of The Program –MBMMBI (teachers &
students)
ii. Tactical Planning- intensive class, revision, vocabulary
program, motivational Talk-tips and techniques answering
questions.
iii. Lesson study – Teacher, modules for students.
Form 5 Arif, 5 Adib & 5 Aman.
Even though there were no students from these form 5 got
Grade A or B for English paper, however the passes students,
were 47.
Drilling like exercises, questions, reading, enrichment and
remedial activities helped the students to focus on this subject.
Moreover full usage of dictionaries, workbooks, reference book
also contribute to the passes percentage.
We found that the weaknesses more on common problem
such as grammar error, spelling error, sentence and
vocabularies.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO SPM ENGLISH RESULT 2014
ACHIEVEMENT
(INCLINE AND DECLINE)
STRENGHT
PAPER 1 SECTION 1 (ESSAY)
Students were introduced with different format of sample
essays.
Students learn ways to earn easy marks.
Students learnt the technique of writing in this section.
SECTION B (CONTINUOUS WRITING)
Students had written sample essay that they will use in the
exam regardless of the topic or titles.
Students just needed to memorize their essay and put any one
word title or topic.
PAPER 2
SECTION B (INFORMATION TRANSFER)
A lot of drilling in class because this is the easiest section to
obtain marks.
Students just needed to be meticulous in how they transfer the
information into spaces provided.
Students learn different types of question in Information
Transfer.
Students learn vocabularies that were usually used in the
questions
B SECTION C ( COMPREHENSION& SUMMARY)
Students were told to write any answer regardless whether
they understood the question or not.
They just have to lift any sentences from the paragraph
because each question was based on a paragraph.
As a summary part, students were asked to lift any sentence
from the lines mention in the rubric. Once again students were
advised not to leave any question.
SECTION D (POEM)
A lot of drilling and revising took place in class. Even though
students were taught in class, in the end, students need to rely
on their ability to comprehend the demand of each question.
Failure to do so, cost some of them to fail. Throughout the
beginning till the end of the year, this section proved to be very
challenging not only to lower literacy and proficiency students
but also those who were in 5 Alim class.
SECTION C (NOVEL)
We taught students to memorize the synopsis of the novel.
Regardless of the question asked, students were to write what
they have memorized to at least obtain more than 5/15 marks.
This only applies to students who have lower literacy and
proficiency levels.
