We like this new PSLE model, as this section opens up a wide array of discussion topics, not confined to giving model answers. It is time for students to think on their feet and give their own opinions instead of being spoon fed with automated responses. However, we like to caution students that whilst being given the freedom to speak, they should speak respectfully, thoughtfully and within the boundaries too, which we teach in details in our classes. There is a right way to speak, and a wrong way to speak as well.
As a short summary for this teaching resource, we encourage our students to brainstorm possible questions examiners will ask, be bold in their assumptions and think broadly (which we cover in details as well). Aim for the moon, even if you have missed, at least you will not miss the stars.
Although the PSLE Oral comprises of a small percentage for the overall score in English, there is definitely no harm in aiming to score the maximum marks, as the conversion to the percentage makes a big difference.
