The Swot Shop

Avanced English Programme

The Swot Shop English Programmes are designed for students from Grades 2 to 10 and operate at six levels - Primary C, B and A; Secondary C, B and A. The classes cater for those students with natural talent as well as for competent students wishing to improve. Entry is determined by assessment and promotion from one level to another is determined by student's progress.

Teachers provide detailed feedback each week on writing activities completed by the students at home. In addition, parents receive statistical data about their child's performance in formal assessments/competitions held once each term.

Advanced English Primary C concentrates on developing the students' comprehension skills, vocabulary, grammar, oral and written communication skills.

Advanced English Primary B & A and Advanced English Secondary C students attend a single class which provides a focus on reading for understanding, oral discussion of passages and the appreciation of literature as well as the development of written communication skills within a variety of genre. Emphasis is placed on improving vocabulary and language, using correct grammatical construction and developing creativity.

Advanced English Secondary B & A students enrol in a single class which focuses on both writing skills and comprehension. The writing component prepares students for the types of writing required in secondary school. It does this by extending vocabulary, improving writing style, developing essay writing techniques and by providing guided practice in learning to write creatively. The comprehension component develops advanced comprehension skills through the analysis of writers and how they write.
