CBSE Class 10 Assamese Syllabus for 2026-27

The goal of the CBSE Class  Assamese curriculum is a thorough study of Assamese language, literature and culture. If focuses on detailed explanation of the grammar, syntax, vocabulary and other language elements to provide firm groundwork. Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading skills will be enhanced by the course to improve students' proficiency in the language on one hand, and at the same time deepen their understanding of it on the other hand. To make students grasp the depth of Assamese literature, we expose them to different genres such as verse, prose and drama. The syllabus also has questions that help in understanding as well as translating the given stories as they aid pupils in building their skills in comprehension and writing analysis.

Assamese as a language builds an important curriculum of CBSE. One of the major concerns of imparting Assamese language at the secondary stage is that this language should be taught as a tool for developing the creativity and imagination of learners as well as their ability to communicate through speaking, reading, and writing. It should not merely be taught as a way to read articles, stories, poetry, etc.

According to the CBSE, the learners will be able to achieve the following objectives by learning the Assamese language:

• To build greater confidence and proficiency in oral and written communication.
• To develop the ability and knowledge required in order to engage in independent reflection and inquiry.
• To use appropriate Assamese to communicate with various social settings.
• Equip learners with essential language skills to question and to articulate their point of view.
• To build competence in the different registers of Assamese.
• To develop sensitivity to and appreciation of other varieties of Assamese like any other Indian language and the culture they reflect.
• To enable the learner to access knowledge and information through reference skill(consulting a dictionary, library, internet, etc )
• To develop curiosity and creativity through extensive reading.
• To facilitate self- learning to enable them to become independent learners.
• To review, organise and edit their own work and work done by peers.

At the end of this stage, learners will be able to do the following:

• Give a brief oral description of events/ incidents of topical interests.
• Retell the contents of authentic audio text (weather reports, public announcements, simple advertisements, short interviews, etc)
• Participate in conversation, discussion, etc on topics of mutual interest in non- classroom situations.
• Narrate the story depicted pictorially or in any non-verbal mode.
• Respond in writing to business letters, official communications
