ACARIYA ACADEMY, MALAYSIA is running special holiday edu-camps for summer and winter holidays for learners from 9 to 18 years old.
Coming soon:
acariya, 2nd Holiday Edu-Camp will be held from November 30 - December 18, 2009.
In this programme, we are offering a 3-level literacy programme with the theme "AROUND THE WORLD" targetted at improving a learner's core proficiency and competency in the 4 basic skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Learning will be further enhanced with the introduction of "viewing skill" as a complementary skill to the existing 4 main skills. Seating arrangement will be varied accordingly to cater for the diversified approaches of teaching and activities. Mini-workshops will be introduced to encourage hands-on experience to build confidence in aural-oral skills and promoting healthy teamwork and effective peer learning.
Learners will do a placement test to gauge their proficiency level before being divided into their respective groups. Learners will be given ongoing reviews (mini-assessments) during this period to gauge their progress. Early intervention in the form of mini-tutorials or lectures will be held should the need arises so that quality education which is our forte can be sustained. By the end of the camp, learners will do an online assessment on their overall achievement and be awarded a certificate of achievement.
