Learning / Teaching approach and activities
To develop bi-literate and tri-lingual abilities of children, Integrated Theme-based Curriculum and Whole Language Natural Learning Approach are adopted. Children’s ability to listen and talk, and to apply used language will be strengthened through Shared Reading Approach, Phonemic Awareness and extended language activities. It is through songs and stories to increase children’s exposure to Putonghua. Children are also encouraged to write stories and songs. Project Learning Approach is also adopted to enhance the problem solving skills and creative thinking of children.
