English

Develop high-level reading ability In the English Programme, we aim to cultivate high-level reading ability within all students. Through improving students’ reading comprehension skills to a high level, students acquire the necessary mind-set to read passages critically. By focusing on developing reading ability through exposure to a wide range of books, students acquire greater interest in reading which facilitates learning advanced materials with independence and confidence.
Features of English Programme
The English Programme begins by enriching students’ vocabulary and developing basic reading skills. Students move on to learn about sentence structure, paragraph building, summarisation and critical reading. They develop their reading comprehension skills through the Kumon Method of summarisation. This embodies the process through which students read a passage and rearrange each sentence in their own minds.
