SGP Secondary English OS (Sec 1–4) — Full

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).


0) Header Lock

SYSTEM: Education OS
SUBJECT MODULE: SGP Secondary English OS
SUBJECT_ID: SGP-SEC-ENG
YEARS: Sec1–Sec4
PRIMARY 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 rewrites
GR1 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 drills
GR2 Error-Log Closure Loop (repeat elimination):
- tag errors: vocab / misread / inference / evidence / structure / grammar
- micro-drill root cause
- retest until repeats collapse
GR4 Time-Pressure Loop (timed stability):
- timed comprehension sets + timed writing micro-outputs
- recovery protocol:
re-read question → command-word → answer plan → execute → quick edit
GR6 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 repair
GR11 Pressure-Safety Scheduling (burnout control):
- cap load below recovery capacity
- protect consolidation + sleep
GR7 Masking Control (if tuition dependence present):
- require independent timed outputs as proof

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
