Content audit (what to check)
Title & description: clear product name, intended level (e.g., Primary 3–6 / Secondary 1–4), syllabus mapping (MOE syllabi), learning outcomes. Components listed: student book, teacher’s guide, audio files, transcripts, worksheets, assessments, digital platform access, sample pages. Pedagogy: explicit skills targeted (listening for gist/detail, note-taking, transactional/dialogue practice, pronunciation, discussion prompts), lesson structures, differentiation strategies. Evidence of quality: sample lesson plans, scope & sequence, assessment rubrics, alignment to formative/summative assessment. Copyright/permissions: licensing for classroom photocopying and digital use.
Actionable content fixes
Add a prominent “What’s included” bullet list with file formats and durations for audio. Provide a one-paragraph syllabus mapping: explicitly map each unit to MOE learning objectives and exam task types. Include 2 downloadable sample pages (student + teacher) and 1 full sample audio clip. Add teacher-facing extras: lesson timings, differentiation notes, formative assessment checklist, sample rubrics. Display testimonials / case studies from at least 3 local schools with measurable outcomes (e.g., improved class average).
Pedagogical rigor checklist
Clear learning objectives per lesson (SMART). Scaffolded activities: pre-listening, while-listening, post-listening with explicit cognitive demands. Authentic input: varied speakers, accents, speeds, registers. Interactional practice: pair/group speaking tasks with assessment rubrics. Formative checks: quick comprehension probes and exit tickets. Progress tracking: cumulative skill progression across units. Add rubrics for speaking (fluency
Actionable pedagogical changes
Mark each activity with skill focus, difficulty level, estimated time, and assessment criteria. Add rubrics for speaking (fluency, coherence, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary) and sample teacher comments. Include low-prep alternative activities for mixed-ability classes.
