Must the assessment for the SBA component be conducted by the subject teacher of the class? Can a NET responsible for the oral lessons do all the assessments for the whole form/school?
The SBA reading/viewing programme and assessment should be an integral part of classroom teaching and learning. Therefore, the students’ English subject teacher should prepare students for the SBA as well as carry out the speaking assessments. It is undesirable for one single teacher (whether a NET or a local teacher) to do the assessment for all students in the same form because that teacher will simply not have enough time to conduct pre-assessment teaching and learning activities with the students before the actual assessment tasks. Schools must adhere to the mandatory assessment conditions stated in the SBA guidelines.
