The proficiency of the Mother Tongue Language is progressively built up with strong emphasis in speaking and listening at the lower primary, and subsequently reading and writing in the upper primary. For all levels, the department adopts a systematic approach in developing the student’s proficiency in speaking to lay a strong foundation in the subject through various strategies such as show and tell, dramatization and oral presentation in class. The department focuses on using authentic and real-life scenarios to better engage students and develop their communication skills. Students who need additional support for learning of Mother Tongue are supported through our Mother Tongue Support Programme for P3 and Subject Remediation.
