Mother Tongue

Vision: Nurturing Active Learners and Proficient Users of their Mother Tongue Languages.

About the Department:

The Mother Tongue Languages (MTL) Department offers Chinese Language, Higher Chinese Language, Malay Language and Tamil Language for studies.

In Christ Church Secondary, learning MTL is beyond textbook knowledge and the four walls of a classroom. We integrate experiential programmes into the MTL curriculum to make MTL a living language. A structured 4-year plan is drawn up with specific focus on developing students’ language skills through innovative and fun-filled activities.

Objectives

a) Develop students effectively in 4 language skills, namely Aural-oral, Reading, Writing and Thinking Skills through structured MTL teaching.

b) Inculcate appreciation of the Languages and Cultures through enjoyable experiential learning.

c) Cultivate self-directed and active learning of MTL through ICT-infused Teaching and Learning.
