Advanced English Enrichment +
Knowledge of grammar brings the desired structure and meaning to the language. This knowledge is best achieved when the grammar system of the language is applied into reading, writing and speaking. The Advanced English Enrichment Program encourages the students to apply what they already know about grammar, and use it in their own speech and writing. When learning begins early, the fundamentals are consolidated better. The learning curve smoothens and results in a strong foundation.
