Malay Language
The Malay Language Unit
designs an engaging and meaningful curriculum that focuses on providing real
world and authentic experience for students to learn the language. As such, our
academic outline and enrichment programmes aim to educate and empower students
to create their own learning experience in acquiring language skills and
cultural exposure. Our various types of enrichment programmes enable students
to ‘read the word and the world’.
Through the learning of the language, we also
aim to equip students with the relevant skills and knowledge needed to adapt to
the changing needs of the society. In addition, participation in
language-related competitions and engagement with the community hopes to
nurture our students to be critical readers, creative writers and reflective
thinkers.
