Yesterday all Year 8 Mandarin students went on a language learning activity to the Singapore Polytechnic canteen.

The objective of this outing was to provide an opportunity for the students to apply what they have learnt through spoken form. We were very happy to see that all students used all the target language learnt in class and that they could apply it in buying their food and drinks in the community. The students participated actively to speak Mandarin during this excursion and enjoyed being able to use the language, just around the corner from our school.

Mr. Jonathan Leow
Head of Mandarin

Insights From Mr Hasanagic and Giulia on Language Learning at Dover Court

At Dover Court, we encourage a positive attitude towards language learning as we believe it provides students with the opportunity to develop a global citizen mindset and an appreciation for different cultures. We recently spoke with Fuad Hasanagic, the Subject Lead of French and Spanish at Dover Court, and Giulia, a Year 11 student who excelled in the IGCSE Languages early entry examinations, to gain valuable insights into learning foreign languages.
