International curriculums such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) or the Cambridge IGCSE necessitate learning a foreign language such as Spanish or French to instil international-mindedness, intercultural understanding and multiculturalism as most students aspire to pursue higher education abroad. However, when students start learning a foreign language in schools, their learning remains confined to the classroom.
One of the primary reasons students struggle with foreign languages in school is the complexity of grammar and vocabulary. Learning a new language involves mastering a completely different set of rules, sentence structures, and a wide range of vocabulary. For many students, this can be overwhelming, and they may find it challenging to keep up with the pace of their language classes.
Foreign language classes in school often prioritize reading and writing skills over speaking. While these skills are essential, students may struggle with pronunciation, fluency, and conversational skills because they lack adequate speaking practice .
Foreign language classes in school typically have limited time allocated to each session, leaving teachers with only a finite amount of time to cover a vast curriculum. This often results in teachers rushing through lessons, leaving some students behind. As every student has a unique learning style and pace, our teachers adapt their teaching methods to suit the student's specific strengths and weaknesses, making the learning process more efficient and enjoyable.
Every student has a unique learning style and pace. In a classroom setting, it can be challenging for teachers to cater to the individual needs of each student resulting in some students feeling left out, demotivated and unconfident in foreign languages.
