Inter-school English Day
The Net and local English teachers co-plan regularly for co-taught lessons. In these lessons the NET and local English teacher will be teaching together. The co-taught lessons cover P.1 through to P.6. The lessons are designed to follow closely the current theme of the textbook. However the use of activities, songs and big books are used wherever possible to compliment the textbook material. These lessons also expose the students to a language rich environment as English will be the medium of instruction and interaction as far as it is possible.
This class has around 5-8 students. It is intended for the more able students. This lesson includes P.1-P.6.The content of the lesson will be related to the current unit of work within the student's textbook, but will focus on extending the students knowledge of the topic. The students will be asked to participate in reading, writing, speaking and listening activities.
This class is aimed at students who stay in school after the main school day has finished. The target students are P.4 - P.6. This class will use games and activities to help the students develop the English skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Students will be encouraged to interact with each other in English.
TSA is an EMB organized assessment. All students in P.6 and P.3 will be assessed for reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. The main purpose of this period is to give students exposure to the format of the assessment, especially the speaking section. This period gives students the opportunity of one-to-one time with the NET, and aims to build their confidence in this skill.
