Entering the fifth week of PACE programme. Every week, students will be given a set of worksheets with different topics and learning aspects.
English itself has a very wide learning scope. From tenses to sentence structure to adjectives to... you named it. I understand that it is hard to brush up a person's proficiency in English in a short span of time.
Seeing the worksheets changes every week, targeting at different aspects every time, I began to think about how does this really helps to polish the students' English proficiency.
Just a little background of me. My mother gives tuition to primary school children since I entered kindergarten. Having a mother being a tuition teacher, I was exposed to various ways of teaching and learning. Having more than 10 years experience in teaching, she has many students who are doing great now. Her secret recipe of teaching are strengthened their base and repeat. Just these two. She would ensure that every children has a strong basic before she exposed the students to their actual academic scope. For example, a primary 4 student who can't even write number 1-10 in words will be taught on this area before moving to number 11-20 and so on. Next, repeat and repeat. Once a while, she will let her primary 5 students some primary 1 worksheets to do. It's surprising that there will still be mistakes. Hence, repeating is really important to freshen a person's memory.
Therefore, I would like to suggest those two methods used by my mother to PACE programme. Strengthened their base and repeat the exercise as frequent as possible.
