English language proficiency is developed over time and requires consistency. TF’s Secondary English tuition programme aims to develop the following skills, strategies and dispositions (attitudes and behaviours) in students:
Using Thinking Routines to analyse a variety of issues, eg.
Think-Pair-Share
See, Think, Wonder
Circle of Viewpoints
Tug-of-War
Annoting:
– To improve close reading skills (e.g. find connections/trends, discover relationships between characters, make inferences) and increase vocabulary through guided reading and annotating exercises – To increase grammatical awareness in order to tackle the Editing component and reduce grammatical errors in writing
Checking Soundness of argument:
– Has PEEL structure (scaffolding) been used? – Is the Explanation clear and logical? – Is the Example/s given strong and convincing? – Are there any loopholes in the argument? / Is it easily refuted (proved untrue)?
Checking for Precision, Completeness, Relevance (for the Comprehension & Summary component)
– Precision: accuracy of words and phrasing – Completeness: no excess or lack of information – Relevance: addressing the terms of question
Develop ease and confidence in writing through weekly writing exercises
