EATW Philosophy

- To lure the interests of students in learning ESL through effective, fun teaching.
- To prepare students in meeting the challenges of English learning through structured training with comprehensive handouts.
- To focus on the fundamental needs of all students in helping them pass respective English language tests/exams both oral and written with confidence.
- To stimulate students' aggression to have a persistant habit in reading more English on their own initiative.
- To create a yearning desire amongst students where learning good English is simply natural, spontaneous and distinctive.

EATW - A Multi-Faceted Approach
- Classes kept small - restricted to a maximum of 7 students.
- Phonics, pronunciation, intonation, diction and elocution through interactive activities, word games
(e.g. word search, puzzles, bingoes, dominoes, flash cards… etc.), where students gradually grasp the vital fundamentals necessary for good oral and written English.
- Grammer, sentence structure, use of words, essay writing, sentence making, reading comprehension and impromptu dictations incorporated in the curriculum.
- Topics covered in EATW classes supplementing school works, with emphasis placed on verbal communication.
- English mock papers drilling all students during school test/exam periods.
- Older students (P.4 +) frequently engaged in composition and creative writing while all classes are supplemented with worksheets.
- Students encouraged to speak up, thus be able to engage in small talks as well as converse confidently in English in different settings e.g. in a restaurant, school interviews, at a stationery shop, at the doctor's… etc.
- Attention given to special words which deviate from normal phonetic approach e.g. debut, debris, debt, doubt, depot, subtle, quay… etc.
- Common English errors,English idioms, synonyms, antonyms, homophones... etc. widely covered.
- Students assimilating proper English through a variety of songs, poems and rhymes, read n' draw, story-telling/story reading, conversation and dialogue, VCDs, making the classes more enjoyable and interesting.
