Teaching Methodology
Lessons are delivered using the student-centred approach, where there is more emphasis placed on students’ active participation in engaging others and applying their learning in practical and meaningful ways.
Lessons are carefully planned to ensure students are equipped with the right mix of language, skills and confidence boosting to become independent and communicatively competent throughout their studies and ongoing careers.
The strategy for assessing the achievement of learning outcomes involves a combination of continuous formative and summative assessments, regular feedback, and structured moderation and validation processes.
Formative assessments, such as weekly quizzes, essays, presentations, and class participation, provide ongoing insights into student progress and areas needing support.
Summative assessments, including mid-term and final exams, are conducted every five weeks to evaluate knowledge and understanding of the course material. This approach ensures that students receive timely and actionable feedback, helping them stay on track and improve continuously. Clear assessment criteria, regular feedback, and additional support for students who are not progressing satisfactorily are key components of this strategy.
