ONLINE CERTIFIED INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAMME

Yes! We are aware that there is a difference in the way teachers and students interact in a virtual classroom and in a physical classroom. Some of the measures we have implemented to maintain the quality of online classes include:

• having a maximum class size of 12 students
• scheduling daily Customised Learning Support (CLS) where students can get additional help and practice for their areas of weaknesses. CLS has a maximum class size of 6 students
• making sure that teachers and staff are available online from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm should the students need more help or further consultation
• providing more interactive and guided learning materials that students can use for additional practice and self-study.
