English Language

Mission

We empower every student to become a critical reader, confident communicator, and purposeful writer. Through our vibrant EL & SS curriculums, we nurture curiosity and literacy, equipping learners to express ideas with purpose, clarity and intent. We inspire a lifelong love for the English language and humanities, preparing every child to navigate the world with confidence.

Why English Language matters

The acquisition of English Language skills play an important role in developing students to communicate with empathy, read with discernment and inquire with creativity, as well as equip them to use standard English effectively to engage with others, generate meaning, develop critical thinking, and contribute to society.

The Yu Neng Difference

At Yu Neng Primary School, the English Language curriculum distinguishes itself by shifting the focus from classroom theory to meaningful real-life application. Our approach ensures that every skill learnt is immediately put into practice within authentic contexts.

By grounding the curriculum in the PACC framework (Purpose, Audience, Context, and Culture), we move beyond textbook exercises. Whether it is through the Flat Stanley and Project Pen Pal initiatives—where writing becomes a tool for genuine social connection—or the Say it in 90s platform that develops real-world oratorical confidence, our students learn that language is a powerful vehicle for influence. This emphasis on "learning by doing" transforms students into purposeful communicators who can navigate diverse audiences and real-world challenges with ease.
