Canadian Teaching Excellence: Literacy Centres at Maple Bear Kyiv

Posted in Education on Friday, October 06, 2023

Proficiency in the English language includes the ability to comprehend written text, communicate ideas fluently in both spoken and written forms, effectively express oneself, and apply problem-solving skills in various real-life scenarios.

Maple Bear Kyiv employs modern Canadian teaching methods, and one of them is the use of Literacy Centres within the English Language Art subject, enabling students to achieve expert-level English proficiency.

Students are divided into groups, and each one works in one of the three workshops; upon completion of one, they transition to another workshop:

 

1️⃣ Reading Workshop (Independent Reading and Reflecting, Guided Reading)

2️⃣ Writing Workshop

3️⃣ Word Study/Working with Words/Grammar Practice

This pedagogical approach ensures that lessons are not only informative but also engaging and interactive. It enhances the overall effectiveness of the learning experience by providing a well-balanced focus on developing language competencies.

As a result, students at Maple Bear Kyiv have the opportunity to not only achieve a high level of English proficiency but also develop the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to excel in a globalized world.
