Speaking
and Listening
Students are given many opportunities to interact, develop and
express ideas orally and to think creatively. Discussions, debates,
presenting ideas, defending opinions, identifying and solving problems
verbally, conducting interviews, pronunciation activities, listening
comprehension and so on, help develop fluent speech, strong verbal
communication skills and confidence. Specific guidance is given
to ensure that students become effective communicators.
 Writing
Skills
Our Secondary programs are designed to help students master the
subtleties of the written language and experiment with different
writing styles. Using a wide range of themes and various text types
as a springboard, the students are given the opportunity to write
on many different subjects and in many different styles.
Reading and Thinking Skills
Students are encourage to read and understand a wide range of
challenging written texts to foster good reading habits, to increase
knowledge and to develop creative thinking skills, including Classic
Literature and Poetry. Extensive practice is provided on reading
comprehension, reading aloud with expression, skimming and scanning
for information, deducing word meanings from contextual clues, and
so on. Students are placed on individual reading programs which
aim to challenge and expand reading skills through literature exposure.
Specific activities are incorporated to improve a student’s
ability to receive, process and make inferences from information.
Expanding Vocabulary and Knowledge of Grammar
Structure
Our Secondary programmes build a student’s vocabulary so
that he can express himself more clearly and accurately. Students
are taught connotation of words, idiomatic speech and phrasal verbs,
and how to understand meaning of new vocabulary through context.
Students are given a sound knowledge of the rules, functions and
structures of the English language and are taught to use grammatically
accurate English in increasingly more complex speech and writing.
....where children learn to
read, speak and write English well....!
