Workshops for teachers

Service Description

A 5-Session Professional Development Programme for Teachers & Tutors A good teacher knows what the examination requires. An exceptional teacher understands why an answer succeeds, where it falls short, and most importantly, how to teach a student to improve it. This intensive 5-session professional development programme has been designed for teachers and tutors who want to develop a deeper, more systematic understanding of Cambridge IGCSE English 0500 and translate that understanding into effective classroom practice. MOVE BEYOND THE MARK SCHEME Why does one student identify an implicit idea while another merely paraphrases the passage? Why does a Writer's Effects response sound intelligent yet remain superficial? What separates competent Directed Writing from a genuinely perceptive response? Why can a beautifully written narrative still fail to reach the highest band? These workshops examine such questions from both an assessment and teaching perspective. Participants will learn not merely how to recognise strong responses, but how to teach the thinking, language and writing processes that produce them. ACROSS 5 INTENSIVE SESSIONS, YOU WILL EXPLORE: 01 | Understanding the Examination 02 | Reading, Inference & Writer's Effects 03 | Summary & Extended Response to Reading 04 | Directed Writing 05 | Descriptive & Narrative Composition FROM KNOWING THE ANSWER TO KNOWING HOW TO TEACH IT Throughout the programme, we will examine common student weaknesses, compare different levels of response and consider practical intervention strategies. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Designed for Cambridge IGCSE English 0500 teachers, private tutors, learning-centre educators and homeschooling teachers, including those beginning to teach the syllabus and experienced practitioners who wish to sharpen their examination methodology. 5 SESSIONS | 10 HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING Programme Fee: RM1,200 ENQUIRE NOW · LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE
