​A group of nine-year-olds surprised me in the course of this semester, as we worked on language play using a variety of books, stories, and storytelling resources. What intrigued me was how they were able to pick up nuances in language use, such as understanding metaphors, without excessive explicit teaching. Immersion in a rich and stimulating language environment has proven to be the best way to get young learners started on any language of their choice.

In one of our sessions together, the students attempted generating metaphors of their own. No Google, no ChatGPT, no standard answer sheets. Just the students, a short story we had read together showing samples of metaphor expressions, and our brains put together to explore endless possibilities. Amazing synergy!

All of us should structure regular intervals for a digital detox and to get back to basics.

Thanks to the renewed excitement of international travel, we have some precious friends back in Singapore for a holiday. They have been enjoying English lessons with Teacher Libing for a few weeks.

The children are 7 and 5 years old, and they are learning together. Teacher Libing has put together various storybook units for them to keep in touch with the English Language. The younger learner is focused on phonics and reading, while the older learner is working on grammar and sentence construction. They also do some activities together, such as reading instructions for craft making and playing language games. 

Click to contact us for more details if you'd like your kids and friends to learn together this holiday. Teacher Libing is based in Bukit Panjang. Travel to your home is also possible should the schedule fit.

​Modern day learning provides students with many different tools. Yet the quality of learning does not always improve. Why is this so?

Perhaps there are too many tools out there and the students are lost? Maybe students think that they can check the Internet anytime anyway, so they end up not checking when they really should be?

I have been encouraging my students to go back to the dictionary. Be it a physical or digital dictionary, students have to get into the habit of checking words they partially or entirely don't understand. Sometimes we do pre-reading / pre-writing activities like Meaning Matching to help build a vocabulary bank.

Check it once and get a clear understanding. You can remember much better.
