Conversation Classes
Our conversation classes are designed to be engaging and interactive, providing a supportive environment where your child can flourish in their conversation and social skills.
So how does our programme facilitate learning in children?
- Effective Communication Skills: Through lively discussions, games, and activities, children practice expressing themselves confidently. They learn to articulate their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations, laying a strong foundation for effective communication.
- Vocabulary Enrichment: Each conversation session introduces children to new words and phrases in context. By exploring various topics and themes, children expand their vocabulary naturally, enhancing their language proficiency and comprehension.
- Active Listening Development: Our classes emphasize the importance of active listening. Children learn to listen attentively to their peers and teachers, honing their listening skills and improving their ability to understand different accents and speech patterns.
- Boosting Confidence: We believe that confidence is key to language acquisition. In our supportive environment, children are encouraged to speak up, make mistakes, and learn from them. This cultivates a sense of confidence in their language abilities, empowering them to communicate effectively in any situation.
- Cultural Understanding: Our curriculum integrates cultural elements related to the language being learned. Through discussions on culture, traditions, and customs, children gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the language in its cultural context.
- Critical Thinking and Collaboration: Our activities promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Children engage in debates, discussions, and collaborative tasks, fostering their ability to analyze information, formulate opinions, and work effectively with others.
- Social Skills Development: Interaction with peers in our classes enhances children’s social skills. They learn to communicate respectfully, collaborate with others, and navigate social dynamics, laying the groundwork for positive interpersonal relationships.
As your child progresses through our programme, you can expect to notice changes in their day-to-day interactions with others. Below are examples:
- Ordering food at a restaurant: Confidently communicating their meal preferences and any dietary restrictions to the waiter.
- Asking for directions: Effectively asking for help and understanding directions when navigating unfamiliar places.
- Reading books: Encountering new words and phrases while reading books and expanding their vocabulary as they explore different genres.
- Watching educational videos: Learning new words and concepts while watching educational videos on topics of interest.
- Following instructions: Attentively listening to instructions from teachers or parents and understanding what is expected of them in various tasks or activities.
- Participating in group discussions: Listening to their peers' perspectives and contributing to discussions by building on what others have said.
- Giving presentations: Confidently presenting their ideas or projects to their classmates, teachers, or parents.
- Introducing themselves: Confidently introduce themselves and engage in conversations with new acquaintances or adults.
- Solving problems: Critically analysing problems and developing creative solutions in various situations, such as resolving conflicts with friends or finding ways to improve a school project.
- Making decisions: Weighing different options and considering the consequences before deciding, such as extracurricular activities or deciding what to do during free time.
- Working in teams: Collaborating effectively with classmates or siblings to complete group projects or tasks.
- Resolving conflicts: Using effective communication and negotiation skills to resolve conflicts with peers or siblings constructively.
In these real-life examples, the skills acquired and practiced in our conversation classes become invaluable assets that your child can apply in various everyday situations, which will help them navigate and succeed in their personal, academic, and social lives.
