Course Introduction

The designed grammar materials will cover some foundational concepts in English grammar, such as identification, and the simple application of different parts of speech. Simple sentence structures, and four tenses will also be introduced to students. Apart from these, other basic grammatical rules like Subject/Verb Agreement, and Subject/Antecedent Agreement are also an important part. All of those will help students establish grammar awareness, and enhance their logical thinking ability at the same time.

​

In class, we will use interactive activities and interesting games to teach and practice grammar. For example, when we learn the comparative adjective, we will let students compete and incorporate in jeopardy games. They will gain different points according to the difficulty of the questions, and count the final points in the end. With the help of multimedia, and our interactive activities, students learn professional grammar in an enjoyable way.

Course Introduction

Grade 4  focuses on vocabulary, and the  differences between certain words, sentence structures and sentence elements. Students read a paragraph, point out the number of sentences,  name sentence elements in each paragraph, subject and predicate, compound predicate and so on. The teacher then provides visuals for students to describe using the sentence elemental structure taught.

Students also learn about parts of speech by reading passages, and pointing out vocabulary and identifying its part of speech. This is based on a list of definitions, comparative adjectives, regular adjectives and irregular forms, common vs proper nouns provided. Teachers also use stories to contextualize, and gage discussion before beginning the exercise. Homework is provided, taken up and followed up with a quiz to assess their progression.

Course Introduction

In grade 5, literacy focuses on developing English vocabulary, and grammar with an emphasis on understanding subject and predicate. Students identify and write sentences (in class and as part of their assigned homework) using particular words and parts of speech/sentences. They make connections to other parts of  their grammatical journeys.

As much as they learn the fundamentals of grammar in previous grades, grade 5 is meant to be the turning point for student grammar acquisition. It is during grade 5 students finally conceptualize grammar and punctuation, begin to write sentences outside their traditional use. As mentioned below, students begin using their imaginations by creating short stories and we encourage them to see language as a tool to communicate not just logical, tangible ideas, but abstract ones as well.

Homework/Exercises

• Identify creative writing, informative writing, summary, analytical writing
