Classroom Solutions

to create a language school within a school

Just English Centre

Supplementary English Programme

The Supplementary English Programme is a structured programme designed to be conducted as an additional activity to improve students’ command of the language, in line with the Ministry of Education’s goals.
Starter (A1) – Advanced 3 (C1)

The Programme aims to concentrate on building and instilling interest in the language and extensive reading habits, as well as patterns of practice and usage in listening and speaking.

The Programme emphasizes student-centred activity-based learning that is enjoyable, while using computer-assisted language learning materials that focuses on essential communication skills.

Each classroom instruction forms part of a critical core of syllabus material that is correlated to the Malaysian school syllabus so that it is relevant to what the students learn during school hours, yet complements and goes beyond their textbooks.

Materials

  • Students will use learning materials provided by Just English in both printed and electronic format.
  • Just English will also provide an advanced online learning platform which will enable students to enjoy learning with their friends and interact with teachers if necessary.
  • Schools that have broadband Internet facilities can use them to access the platform, while students can access it at home or through mobile devices.

Teacher Training

  • Just English will provide intensive training and supervision of the teachers to use the Just English methods and materials for the Programme.
