Click below for our schedules and further details on each of the 7 groups:
Learner and Explorer
Apart from the usual class activities, students are encouraged to use English through storytelling, journaling, oral presentations and outing experience.
Transformer and Inquirer
A cognitive approach is used to enhance students’ awareness in how they learn English as a second language and how they can reflect the experience they gain from daily life in English. Through reflective journaling, oral presentations, contrastive studies and outing experience, students are explicitly taught to use English to communicate.
Performer and Achiever
Students learn grammar from a functional approach and are given ample opportunities to practise and apply their language skills. Authentic tasks are designed so that students are encouraged to communicate in English proficiently. Through reflective journaling, oral presentations, contrastive studies and continuous assessment, students are explicitly taught to monitor their own learning.
