There has been a new blueprint given by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for classes IX and X. The changes will be made in English communicative, language and literature.
In its first announcement on its website, CBSE declared that there students of class IX and X will be asked only multiple choice questions (MCQs) in their English Communicative and Language, and Literature paper, but later it changed its pattern where no MCQs will be given, rather long questions will be asked.
In a new circular (number 68), CBSE has said the question papers will also comprise long answer type question and the weightage of MCQs has been reduced.
Lalita Nandel, English teacher, said, “This changed examination pattern will help students in using their creativity while attempting the examination, since these long answer type question will give them a chance to express themselves better.”
Heena Mehra, an English teacher in a private school, said, “This will boost the creativewriting skills of students, because it is with subjects such as English that the students can harness and hone their writing skills and expression. Also, going through a detailed answer, makes it easy for an examiner to gauge whether the student has understood the subject well.”
