Z0–Z3 Directory Table: Skills → Failure Modes → Sensors → Repairs (Almost-Code v1.1)
Publishing role: This is the language spine page for Singapore secondary.
English is not “a subject”; it is the wrapper-decoder for every other subject (Science, Humanities, even Math word problems).

SYSTEM: Education OSSUBJECT MODULE: SGP Secondary English OSSUBJECT_ID: SGP-SEC-ENGYEARS: Sec1–Sec4PRIMARY VERIFICATION GATE: - O-Level OS (Singapore)SECONDARY PORTS: - Vocabulary OS (language substrate) (optional link) - Singapore City Education OS (SGP-SIN)REFERENCE: CivOS (P0–P3, Z0–Z7)PRIMARY PURPOSE: Convert reading + thinking + writing into stable exam performance by: - stabilising comprehension under time - enforcing command-word compliance - stabilising writing structure and language accuracy - improving transfer across unseen texts/prompts - achieving timed reliability with low volatility (P3)
1) P3 Mastery Definition (Secondary English)
P3 (SGP SEC ENGLISH): The student can: - comprehend unseen texts accurately under time (retrieval + inference) - answer exactly what the question asks (command-word compliance) - write coherent, structured responses with stable quality under time - transfer across genres/prompts without collapse - self-check and correct language errors reliably - recover after mistakes using a recovery protocol (GR4)
V1.1 note: English mastery is stable output quality under time + unseen prompts, not “reads a lot.”
2) Z0–Z3 Directory (Core Table)
How to read this table
- Z0 Skills = execution primitives
- Z1 Failure Modes = what breaks at O-Level
- Z2 Sensors = early detection instrumentation
- Z3 Repairs = loops that fix the failure reliably
Z0–Z3 Directory Table (Secondary English)
Z0: Skills (Execution Primitives)
Z0 SKILL DIRECTORY (ENGLISH):EN-Z0-01: vocabulary retrieval (precise meaning, not vague “sense”)EN-Z0-02: sentence parsing (grammar + structure decoding)EN-Z0-03: comprehension accuracy (literal + implied meaning)EN-Z0-04: inference and evidence linking (quote→claim validity)EN-Z0-05: command-word compliance (explain/describe/infer/compare/justify)EN-Z0-06: summary extraction (signal vs noise)EN-Z0-07: writing structure (thesis→points→evidence→link)EN-Z0-08: paragraph engineering (topic sentence + development + closure)EN-Z0-09: tone/register control (formal vs narrative)EN-Z0-10: language accuracy (grammar, punctuation, spelling)EN-Z0-11: editing/checking discipline (self-correction under time)EN-Z0-12: timed endurance stability (quality does not collapse late-paper)EN-Z0-13: transfer across unseen prompts/genres (exam signature)
Z1: Top Failure Modes (what breaks)
Z1 FAILURE MODE DIRECTORY (ENGLISH):EN-Z1-01: vocabulary drift → comprehension errors (GF1)EN-Z1-02: question misread / command-word failure (GF1 signature)EN-Z1-03: evidence mismatch (answers not supported by text) (transfer+discipline)EN-Z1-04: inference fragility (cannot justify or link) (GF9 in language form)EN-Z1-05: summary collapse (cannot extract; copies irrelevant parts)EN-Z1-06: writing structure instability (rambling; no marks coverage) (GF6)EN-Z1-07: language accuracy collapse under time (GF6)EN-Z1-08: prompt/genre transfer collapse (unseen topic) (GF9)EN-Z1-09: timed execution collapse (quality drops sharply) (GF6)EN-Z1-10: practice without model (writes a lot, doesn’t improve) (GF2→GF9)EN-Z1-11: late repair trap (GF7) (no runway)EN-Z1-12: continuity fragmentation (GF11) (reset cycles)EN-Z1-13: burnout tail (GF12) (fatigue → volatility → regression)
Z2: Sensor Pack (how to detect early)
Z2 SENSOR PACK (ENGLISH):GLOBAL PHASE SENSORS: P-S1 retrieval reliability (esp. vocab + common structures) P-S2 error histogram (comprehension vs writing vs language accuracy) P-S3 time-to-answer distribution (compre + writing segments) P-S4 transfer under wrapper variation (unseen texts/prompts) P-S5 timed stability variance (quality volatility)ENGLISH SUBJECT SENSORS: EN-S1 vocabulary precision score (meaning + usage) EN-S2 comprehension accuracy under time (literal + inference) EN-S3 command-word compliance rate (answers match prompt) EN-S4 evidence linkage validity rate (quote→claim alignment) EN-S5 summary extraction score (signal capture) EN-S6 writing structure stability score (marks coverage) EN-S7 language accuracy rate under time (grammar/punct/spelling) EN-S8 prompt/genre transfer score (unseen prompts) EN-S9 endurance drop index (late-paper quality collapse) EN-S10 editing compliance rate (actually checks and corrects)O-LEVEL PROOF HOOKS: OL-S3 timed vs untimed gap (quality under time) OL-S4 transfer gap under novelty (unseen texts/prompts) OL-S5 error-repeat density (language + structure repeats) OL-S6 repair latency vs horizon OL-S8 burnout risk proxy
Z3: Repair Loops (what fixes it)
Z3 REPAIR DIRECTORY (ENGLISH):GR5 Language-Base Loop (core): - vocabulary precision building - sentence parsing drills - command-word training + compliance rewritesGR1 Buffer Build Loop (spine mastery): - comprehension primitives + inference patterns - writing structures as reusable templates (not memorised essays)GR3 Transfer Loop (unseen robustness): - weekly unseen text audits (different genres) - prompt/genre variation sets - evidence-linking verification drillsGR2 Error-Log Closure Loop (repeat elimination): - tag errors: vocab / misread / inference / evidence / structure / grammar - micro-drill root cause - retest until repeats collapseGR4 Time-Pressure Loop (timed stability): - timed comprehension sets + timed writing micro-outputs - recovery protocol: re-read question → command-word → answer plan → execute → quick editGR6 Continuity Loop (anti-reset): - weekly minimums + consolidation windows - prevent missed-week drift (English regresses silently)GR8 Early-Warning Thresholds: - if EN-S2/EN-S3/EN-S6 collapse → immediate repairGR11 Pressure-Safety Scheduling (burnout control): - cap load below recovery capacity - protect consolidation + sleepGR7 Masking Control (if tuition dependence present): - require independent timed outputs as proof
3) Failure Mode Trace (Required)
FAILURE TRACE (ENGLISH): EN-Z1-01 vocabulary drift → EN-Z1-02 question misread → EN-Z1-04 inference fragility → EN-Z1-06 structure collapse → EN-Z1-07 language accuracy collapse under time → EN-Z1-09 timed volatility → EN-Z1-11 late repair trap → O-Level underperformance
REPAIR TRACE (ENGLISH): GR5 language base (vocab + command words) → GR1 comprehension + structure spine → GR3 unseen audits + evidence-linking verification → GR2 closure of repeats → GR4 timed stability + edit protocol → GR6 continuity + GR11 pressure safety → P3 reliability across unseen papers
4) Early-Warning Thresholds (English Gate Protection)
EARLY WARNING (ENGLISH): Trigger repair immediately if any are true: - EN-S2 comprehension accuracy under time below threshold - EN-S3 command-word compliance low (misread persists) - EN-S4 evidence linkage validity low (unsupported answers) - EN-S6 writing structure stability low (marks coverage inconsistent) - EN-S7 language accuracy drops sharply under time - OL-S3 timed gap widening (untimed ok, timed collapse) - OL-S4 transfer gap persists (unseen texts/prompts) - EN-S9 endurance drop index high (late-paper collapse) - OL-S6 repair latency exceeds remaining runway
5) Proof of Fix (What counts as English “done”)
P3 PROOF (ENGLISH): - EN-S2 comprehension accuracy high across 3 unseen texts - EN-S3 command-word compliance high across 3 papers - EN-S4 evidence linkage validity high (answers supported) - EN-S6 writing structure stable (marks coverage consistent) - EN-S7 language accuracy stable under time - OL-S3 timed gap small; P-S5 volatility low across 3 timed papers - OL-S4 transfer holds across 3 genre families - EN-S10 editing compliance high (errors corrected)
