1 hour per week. Depending on the skill in focus that day, the students might have to practice what they have learned for about an hour outside of class. This could be reading comprehension questions to be submitted to the teacher, or writing an essay etc.Assessment
The teacher will use rubrics and share them with the students, so they can understand what they need to work on.Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
Each class is independent and it is divided into three parts: presentation, practice, and production. In the presentation stage, the teacher will present the material, and then the students will practice by doing with guidance from the teacher. In the last stage, the students will apply what they have learned independently and get feedback from the teacher and other students. The following are the weekly topics: Week 1 - Writing Informative Texts Week 2 - Writing Arguments Week 3 - Writing Narrative Texts Week 4 - Conducting research projects Week 5 - Reading Strategies Week 6 - Speaking Skills (Oral presentations - Interpreting Information) Week 7 - Listening Comprehension Week 8 - Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
