Description
Summary:<p>The purpose of this study was to develop The Common European Framework of Reference</p><p>for Languages aligned English Listening and Speaking Skills Module for Preschool</p><p>Teachers using the Design and Development Research Approach. The study was conducted</p><p>in three phases, namely the needs analysis, design and development, and evaluation. For</p><p>the need analysis, a questionnaire was distributed to 368 Ministry of Education preschool</p><p>teachers. The findings concluded that there was a need to develop a CEFR aligned English</p><p>Listening and Speaking Skills Module. The second phase was to design and develop a</p><p>CEFR aligned English Listening and Speaking Skills Module using Fuzzy Delphi Method</p><p>(FDM). The 14 expert panels reached the agreement on the module objectives, teaching</p><p>strategies, teaching techniques, activities, teaching resource materials, and assessment</p><p>methods. The findings of this phase have resulted a prototyped module. The third phase</p><p>was the usability evaluation which involved 50 experienced preschool teachers evaluating</p><p>the module using a questionnaire. The findings showed that the preschool teachers reached</p><p>the consensus on the suitability and usability of the CEFR aligned English Listening and</p><p>Speaking Skills Module. In conclusion, this module helps preschool teachers to plan and</p><p>deliver their teachings in CEFR aligned English focusing on listening and speaking skills.</p><p>The implication of the study suggests that the module can be used as a guide which aligns</p><p>with CEFR for teaching listening and speaking skills to preschool children.</p>
