Why Our Holiday Program in Singapore is Perfect for English Learners

Why Our Holiday Program in Singapore is Perfect for English Learners

Many parents in Singapore are always on the lookout for the best ways to keep their children engaged and learning during the holiday break. Whether you’re preparing your child for the PSLE, looking for holiday classes for your primary school child, or simply seeking to maintain their academic momentum, WRITERS AT WORK’s Holiday Programs offer the perfect solution. Our carefully crafted programs are designed to enhance your child’s English skills, making learning both enriching and enjoyable while addressing specific areas of need. Stick around until the end for a closer look at our program details.

It’s essential to recognize that prolonged breaks from academic activities can lead to a phenomenon known as “learning loss,” where students may forget previously acquired knowledge and skills. Research indicates that students can lose an equivalent of two months of academic progress over extended holidays, placing a strain on their education when they return to school.

To counteract this, our holiday programs are designed to keep students engaged in learning, ensuring they retain and build upon their skills during school breaks.

Tailored Programs for Every Level

Our holiday programs in Singapore cater to both primary and secondary school students, focusing on key English language components like composition writing, grammar mastery, oral examination skills, and comprehension strategies. These areas are vital in ensuring academic success, and we’ve structured our holiday programs to address the unique challenges each age group faces.

  • Primary School Students: If you’re preparing your child for the PSLE or seeking additional support in areas like composition, Paper 2, or the new PSLE format, our Holiday Programs are the perfect opportunity. Our classes are designed to help young learners refine their skills, build confidence, and stay ahead in their academic journey. Whether it’s improving writing techniques or boosting oral examination performance, our targeted approach ensures your child’s needs are met with precision.
  • Secondary School Students: For students in secondary school, our holiday programs cover a range of themes relevant to their syllabus. Whether they are reinforcing grammar, tackling complex compositions, or honing their comprehension strategies, we help students build a strong foundation for the next academic year. Our programs are designed to ensure secondary students maintain momentum and improve in areas they might find challenging.

Commonly Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why Is It Important to Attend English Enrichment Classes?

Students will be able to develop important skills such as critical thinking which will serve them well in all areas of life. Students will learn how to incorporate critical thinking and analysis skills when they read comprehension passages and plan their ideas and arguments out for essays.

2. Is It Worth Getting an English Tutor?

If your child needs help in school, it could be worth considering getting an English tutor as English is a compulsory subject at school. English is used in all areas of life and learning how to read critically and write essays are highly important skills which should be learned early. 

3. Why Do Students Have Poor Writing Skills?

Students often have poor writing skills as they do not have the knowledge of good exam habits to practise. For example, many students often do not plan their essays, which lead to a poor writing habit of rambling, going off on irrelevant tangents, and forgetting to list all good arguments.

4. How Can I Improve My Child’s Creative Writing Skills?

One way to enhance a child’s creative writing skills is by reading model compositions. After all, children cannot write about what they do not know. By reading how good essays are written and attempting to imitate them, children will pick up sentence mechanics and vocabulary they can use in their own exams. Reading more will also give students ideas about the various contexts they can write an essay about as they will be able to broaden their horizon of experiences.

 

5. What Do You Learn in English Writing Class?

At W@W, students are first taught to break down questions to understand what is being asked. Learning what the question wants is just as important as learning how to answer it. Next, students will learn how to use the Plot Curve to craft logical and coherent plots, and interesting, well-developed characters, all the while learning key phrases which broaden their vocabulary. Students will use ideas from all the lessons taught at W@W in the exam.
