  SIS Instructors


As this age is so important for developing a native like accent students in these classes will spend time working on pronunciation skills. This will be done through games, competitions, drills and activities. We want our students to complete our courses not only with the ability to communicate in English but to do so with an accent that resembles a native English speaker.

Each class will be directed by a Cambodian instructor and be supported by a native-English speaking  teacher.

 
  Effective Communicative Teaching Methodology


Students who complete the 16 levels of the programs will have had almost 1920 hours of English tuition, and will be able to function in many settings and situations. This will give them the knowledge, skills and confidence to go on and complete the rest of SIS's intensive English program..

Students will learn English through:

  • Songs and activities
  • Games
  • Role-plays
  • Team orientated activities
  • Discussions
  • Mingling activities
  • Brainstorming sessions
  • Use of multi media facilities
  • Arts and craft

    Students who complete  the 16 levels in the immersion Programs and who are eligible for intensive English program,  may then go on to a suitable level within the intensive program.

  Learning and Teaching Materials


The immersion Programs at SIS currently uses the enormously successful series of books- Mr. Bug, Backpack and Friends

Each book is adorned with vibrant eye-catching illustrations which presents topics that appeal to, stimulate and challenge young children. Along with their textbook, each student receives a student book and a workbook. This material forms the core of the syllabus and is supplemented by teachers from an extensive range of additional material available to our teachers in our teachers’ office.

 
  Regular Feedback Between Staff and Parents


SIS understands that parents have invested considerable time and money into the education of their children. We at SIS take our responsibilities extremely seriously and are in constant touch with parents and concerned parties. Contact is initiated and maintained through our teachers who are in class at all times and, as part of their role, serve as a communicator between parents and the department administrators.

At the end of every 2 month term, parents receive a detailed assessment of their child’s performance in the form of individualized student observation book written by the class teacher.

Parents can follow the progress of their child throughout the course and be kept up to date with any news relating to their child’s progress.

 
  Regular Assessment


As part of SIS’s assurance to guarantee quality and ensure our students progress, we regularly assess our students performance using both in program tests and end of term examination.

Core English skills are tested throughout the term using regular progress checks and end of term examinations. This allows us to provide parents immediate feedback on their child’s performance in addition to identifying students that are experiencing difficulties with particular skills. This affords the teacher the opportunity to individualize methods and ensures all students are achieving to their full potential.
