(Errors must still be indicated.)  If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined, disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise. However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an answer, this will be acceptable.  For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be considered.  No marks should be awarded for TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION questions. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be considered.  When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence, mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted.  When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first two/three.  Accept dialectal variations.  For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the correct answer AND the answer written out in full.

(2) 1.8 OPEN-ENDED Yes, I AGREE with the writer. Learners are more technologically active than educators. This exposes them to the advancement of technology and would thus make them better technology users than their educators. Nonetheless, the writer presents this notion as a probability rather than a definitive as the word ‘may’ is used in the conclusion.  OR No, I DISAGREE with the writer. As much as learners are technologically savvy, so are educators too; hence are they in a position to advise and guide learners on safe use of technology, especially social media and/or the internet. So, it would too naive for one to assume that learners are at a more advanced technological stage than their educators.  [Use global marking to assess this question] (3) 1.9 ‘Making all schools ‘smart’’ means helping learners and educators in schools achieve their academic goals  in an improved way.  (2) 1.10 Smart School Pilot Project  / Computer Labs  / Teaching of Science and Mathematics in English  / Educational TV  / SchoolNet  (ANY ONE) (1) 1.11 A ‘pilot project’ is a project which is made to introduce and test  the (2) feasibility of a new programme. 

Downloaded from hlayiso.com ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE/P 1 7 NW/June 2018 NSC PARAGRAPH-FORM NOTE: What follows is merely an example. It is not prescriptive and must be used very carefully. Technology in education improves learners’ understanding of lessons and better prepares pre-scholars for school. Furthermore, learning is not confined to the classroom environment as learners are able to innovatively develop presentations on their own with computers. They also use the internet as a broad source of information for research and studying. On the other hand, technological classes expose learners to world standard technology thus becoming technologically prepared for the work environment. Additionally, exposure to work-related technology makes learners more competitive in the workplace whilst their educational opportunities multiply.
