Syllabus for A1 Starter level

The current syllabus is based on the coursebook “Empower” and subject to amendments based on the individual style of a teacher. Teacher still has to
follow the coursebook even though they can add supplementary materials. Each lesson must have a lesson plan and be conducted with a power point
presentation (alternative presentation tools are also applicable). Also, teachers should not evade from the main goal of acquiring a language, which is
communication. Students should not go home without practicing their speaking skills every lesson. Meanwhile, teachers are required to use ‘Google
classroom’ for uploading homework and checking assignments along with tracking student progress. The content of homework will be provided but
teachers will upload to ‘Google classroom’ on their own.
