This programme is crafted to enhance students' writing skills and unleash their creative potential. It nurtures creative thinking and encourages students to approach composition topics from diverse perspectives. The teacher imparts various writing techniques to address picture, narrative, descriptive, and expository compositions (the type of writing skill taught varies with the level). Students will learn to employ alternative words and phrases, as well as integrate metaphors, hyperboles, idiomatic expressions, and other literary elements into their writing.
Students will be guided through each step of executing the composition with detailed verbal explanations. Throughout each lesson, students are urged to raise any doubts or questions and actively participate in discussions. Each student's written work is evaluated and critiqued, and homework is assigned moderately to prepare for the next lesson.
Students are also encouraged to communicate with the teacher through email or other networking tools regularly. This ensures the teacher can provide them with more comprehensive assistance.
