Speak with Confidence!
(Oral Communication - `O' Level)
With the new format for Oral Communication, there is a lot of apprehension and uncertainty as to what is expected of the students and how one should conduct oneself during the examination in order to do well in it. Our `Speak with Confidence' workshop will prepare students to face the examination with confidence.
The first session of the workshop will be on Planned Response and the process to follow in order to do it well.
In the second session, you will be guided to take initiative in introducing ideas for the Spoken Interaction as well as to be spontaneous when expressing yourself.
​
Participants will receive a complimentary copy of a self-study booklet on Planned Response and Social Interaction.

Critical Thinking Skills
Critical Thinking is an important skill to attain not just for the exams but also in life.
​
Equip yourself with this very important life skill this holiday season as it will also help you in:
-
improving your reading comprehension skills;
-
creating interesting content for your essays;
-
enhancing the way you rationalise, which in turn, will assist you when you churn out essays in other subject areas.
The 4-day workshop starts off with an exercise on logic and logical fallacies, before applying logic to examine and assess different issues from current affairs.
During the final two sessions, students will have the opportunity to apply what they have learnt through researching and writing on a topic that is of interest to them.
