The Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies (PELC)

The PELC is a listing of expected outcomes in the four phases of Communication Arts, namely, listening, speaking, reading and writing. The expected outcomes are stated in behavioral terms hierarchically arranged from the simplest to the most complex. The expected outcomes (skills) for each component are in matrix form per grade level.

With this arrangement, teachers can easily pick out objectives from each phase in preparing his/her lessons to show integration within learning areas. The teacher is free to decide whether to have the four components or only two or three components integrated in a day’s lesson.

Here is a sample lesson plan showing the four components integrated in a day’s lesson for 100 minutes. Science concepts are integrated in this lesson.

I. Objectives

Tell what the story heard is about (Listening)

Use of this/that with singular form of nouns (Speaking)
