🎤 Is the new PSLE Oral format just posters 𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬?🤔
Absolutely not. 🙅♀️
The 2025 PSLE Oral Stimulus-based Conversation has undergone a 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Yes, the posters are gone but so is the predictability. On the surface, some 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫. Do not be fooled. The moment the stimulus changed from static posters to authentic real-life scenarios, the 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒆𝒕𝒔 needed to excel changed completely. 🛠️⚙️
Where 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 often relied on 𝐨𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬 demand 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫-𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 often placed 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 such as a bold headline. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐬 are far more 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐭𝐥𝐞, important details may be tucked away in the background, expressed through natural interactions.
Take the 2025 PSLE Oral Day 1 stimulus as an example:
📷 An ice-cream man selling ice-cream outside a mall, with a long queue of customers. Some of the prompts include:
* Do you think it is a good place to sell the ice-cream?
* How do you think the people queuing are feeling? Would you queue up to buy something you want?
* Do you think Singaporeans queue up in an orderly way?
These questions go beyond the obvious. They require students to:
- Pick up subtle visual cues and analyse the context such as the suitability of the location
- Link and reflect on what they see to personal experiences with depth and relevance
- Pick up subtle visual cues, interpret emotions from body language and even comment on social behaviour in Singapore
🥷A whole new 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 is required.
🔎”I searched through Popular, but there is no oral book for the new format. I wish there were 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 that I can revise just before exams.”😭
Change can feel overwhelming, especially when there is no clear roadmap. However, at Writers' Guild, we understand. We listen. We act. 🦸♀️🦸♂️ The moment the new format was announced, our English Specialists leapt into action like superheroes on a mission. We did not just settle for 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 to the worksheets.

⭐️How has WG helped students score Full Marks ?⭐️
💕“Firstly, WG has taught me many different Oral strategies like ROFL and WOWFATB, which has helped me answer the oral questions more clearly and I feel more confident when answering the questions. Secondly, they also have given us many different oral practices during our classes, with either our classmates or teachers, to help us gain more confidence and be prepared when we face our PSLE Oral examiners on the actual day of the Oral exam."
