Well it depends if your HB and you speak mostly in English.hmm....all govt-schools in SG, all teachers (except for mother tongue teachers) adhere to EL mode of communication when comes to teaching.
teachers and students are not the only factors to consider. There are other internal and external factors that you have to take into consideration to ensure that the child picks up good command of EL.
Eg:
frequent oral/written practice at home,
lang. people use in the presence of the child,
setting up of home environment (like EL books for the child, EL tv prog)
IMHO, it is not to fair to put the sole responsibility on schools, school friends and teachers in educating our children to learn EL. A good foundation starts from home.
All schools in singapore uses English Language to teach, except mother tongue lessons. Singlish or not, i dunno.....but i oso speak Singlish (ley)....jialatz!I am thinking which school to enroll kid to next time.
How to tell if the school's students and teachers uses English in most conversation when speaking?
Hope to get the kid into a English speaking school.
ok ley~ coz last time got one girl in my class speaks and writes so good english ley~ and shes from british council de worh~Wah Cancan.... U want your kid to speak in Queen's English in Pri 1.... POWER leh u.... later in life when he go NS also convert to Singlish one lah... haha!
If relaxed pace.... later go Pri sch... streaming... end up last class... also diei wonx send my boy to every or too many enrichment classes because i do not think at so young an age they should be stressed by a packed schedule. I prefer to let my son learn at a relaxed pace. It really depends on individuals.
sending him to British Council is the only one that i hope i can provide him with. Other than this one if he really likes other classes i will leave it to him to choose.
