1. The Western Cape Education Department has produced a CD containing the following supporting documents for FET English First Additional Language (FAL) teaching: electronic mark sheets, examination guidelines, 2014 NSC exam papers and memos, exemplar tasks, Mind the Gap Study Guides, examples of writing and assessment and the Department of Basic Education (DBE) Writing Guidelines Document.
2. Do not print the Mind the Gap Study Guides for learners; instead select only the pages required for consolidation/revision purposes.
3. Use the e-Study Guides as a teaching tool, appropriately integrating them into lessons. A data projector and computer can be effectively utilised for this purpose.
4. Kindly note: Copies of the CD will be sent to English subject advisers, who will distribute them to schools.
5. If the CD has not been received by 22 May 2015, please direct enquiries to the Head: Curriculum Co-ordination and Advice at the district office.
6. Principals are kindly requested to bring the content of this minute to the attention of the head of department/subject head for English FAL.
