Features of the Curriculum
Native English Teachers (NETs)
- We have three native-speaking English teachers. Our NETs help enhance students' exposure and experiences towards learning the English language. NETs work together to provide students with plenty of activities and practical opportunities to use English.
Reading Programme
- Introducing Rich Literature books to our students through 'Shared Reading' and 'Guided Reading' lessons are done by co-teaching between our English teachers and NETs.
- Books that are rich in moral education are chosen and included in the reading curriculum.
- Our online reading program gives easy access to reading. Each student's reading level is catered to their learning progress. This increases students' confidence while reading and opportunity to challenge themselves.
- In collaboration with our teacher-librarian on 'English Book Promotion' , students are introduced to different genres and quality literatures as a kind of self directed learning.
Writing Programme
- School-based writing practices include pre-writing and post-writing tasks are designed to cater for individual differences. Pre-writing tasks teach students different approaches to tackling main writing tasks. Post-writing tasks emphasize on improving 'class-based' grammatical knowledge.
- Various Higher Order Thinking Skills are introduced to help students brainstorm for ideas.
- Good works are shared and uploaded to recognize and celebrate student's achievements.
Speaking and Listening Programme
- Our School-based phonics programme helps develop students' awareness and sensitivity towards different letter sounds. Students are taught how to tackle reading new words using different strategic skills. This helps them to become confident in using English.
- To integrate e-learning with self-directed learning, students record their speaking tasks through a media sharing platform. The app helps students to easily record and upload their work as well as receive and provide feedback to their peers .
- Students play customized English games designed by our NETs during recesses. Our English Stars (Elite students in English) carry out these fun games to boost the use of English.
- Second tier English enhancement programs such as English Drama and, English Stars help build our student's self-esteem and performance (verbal and non-verbal). Students always feel accomplished witnessing their own production in front of audiences.
