Phase 2 of the English for the Teaching of Mathematics and Science (ETeMS) course has been developed especially for those mathematics and science teachers who have completed Phase I of ETeMS. As in Phase 1, there will be 90 hours of face-to-face interaction supported with self instructional materials.

There are 3 modules in Phase 2 (Alpha, Beta and Gamma). These modules are intended to further develop the teachers' English language competence, specifically in relation to the practical aspects of the teaching of mathematics and science.

Module Alpha focuses on Note Making and Task Design, while developing Grammar and Vocabulary concurrently.

The Beta module deals with the use of courseware supplied by the Ministry of Education to supplement the teaching of Mathematics and Science. It also builds on the teachers' experience and knowledge in writing test items for mathematics and science.

Module Gamma emphasizes classroom presentation skills with attention given to pronunciation.

Throughout Phase 2 teachers will also develop a portfolio of materials that have practical applications in their own teaching contexts.

It is hoped that through their participation in Phase 2 of the ETeMS course the mathematics and science teachers will have developed the confidence to further extend their mastery of English on their own. This will contribute effectively towards the success of the Government's policy to teach mathematics and science in English at all levels.
