Express Yourself Creatively!

We have learned that writing and speaking are connected - working on one will help the other. In fact, this is true of all language skills.

Receptive skills, such as listening and reading provide input. From listening and reading, you learn new words or language structures. Then, writing offers an initial chance to practise these new words and structures - with no rush and no pressure.

Finally, you will feel comfortable using new language items in conversation.

This is how all language skills are connected and our writing and speaking program is specially designed for students aged 11-14, aimed at enhancing their abilities in both written and spoken communication.

Our program helps students learn to organize their thoughts clearly, articulate their messages persuasively, and engage their audience—whether in a written essay or a classroom presentation.

By joining our program, your child will not only improve their academic performance but also build essential life skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.
