Teachers will focus on English listening and speaking courses for Grade 10 and Grade 11 students, while also supporting students with English reading and academic writing. Lessons would be designed to foster a positive English-learning environment and provide students with more opportunities to improve their spoken English, confidence, and communication skills.

English teachers to support students’ progress.
