“... It is our job to empower students with English language tools to allow them                     
the freedom to explore their own paths of fulfillment and                  
development ... whatever they may be.”

(Flamingo English Mission)

ur Secondary English programs have been written by our curriculum developers to focus on the requirements of the Singapore Secondary School English language syllabus, supplemented with a firm grounding in grammar, vocabulary and idiomatic expression. Our Secondary programs are theme based and lay the foundations in reading, writing, speaking and listening for mature and accurate knowledge and use of the English language, including connotation and nuance, to empower these young adults with the skills needed to explore their own paths to their future. Our Pre-Toefl and TOEFL Programs cover all of the elements of Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression, Reading Comprehension and the Writing Component, with a proven record. Our course quality is evidenced by our first TOEFL student who scored a TOEFL Score of 650 and a perfect score in the writing section on the official TOEFL Test upon completing our TOEFL Prep Course.

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.
