Designing the curriculum
Strategies for English Language Learning and Reading (STELLAR) is used in designing the English Language curriculum in our school. Through STELLAR, we strongly believe our students will develop into wholesome individuals who are confident and curious, having a great desire to learn. They will also be able to communicate clearly and work well with in groups and across cultures.
Exposure. Experience. Environment.
-
The 3Es approach in designing lesson experiences for each STELLAR theme in our curriculum provides the rich exposure to meaningfully engage our students in building a strong foundation in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar and vocabulary with an increased emphasis on the development of 21st century competencies.
In addition, the STELLAR programme aims to cultivate the love of reading as well as to build a strong language foundation. It involves using age-appropriate resources and research based teaching strategies to engage our students in their learning of the language.
