Native Speakers and Expatriate Teachers

Native Speakers and Expatriate Teachers

_________________________________________________

The Native Speaker and Expatriate Teachers Programme is designed to enhance students’ English language proficiency by providing direct exposure to native or expatriate teachers in the classroom. In this programme, English is the primary medium of communication, encouraging students to develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in an immersive environment.

Key Features of the Programme:

• Taught by Native or Expatriate Teachers: Students learn directly from teachers whose first language is English or who have extensive experience teaching English internationally.
• English-Only Environment: Since most native and expatriate teachers do not speak Bahasa Indonesia, students are required to communicate in English at all times, helping them build confidence and fluency.
• Interactive Learning Approach: Lessons include discussions, presentations, role-plays, storytelling, and real-life simulations to make learning more engaging and practical.
• Cultural Exchange: Students gain insights into different cultures, customs, and perspectives, fostering global awareness and cross-cultural understanding.
• Pronunciation and Accent Exposure: Learners develop better pronunciation, intonation, and listening skills by interacting with teachers who use natural English expressions.

This programme provides an excellent opportunity for students to experience an authentic English-speaking environment within their school, preparing them for real-world communication and international academic or career opportunities.

Why this programme?

In many schools, students spend years learning English, yet many still struggle with confidence when it comes to speaking. Despite having knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, they often hesitate to communicate in English due to a lack of practice and exposure to real-life conversations. This challenge highlights the need for a different approach—one that encourages active speaking and immerses students in an English-only environment.

English is becoming increasingly important in today’s world. Whether for higher education, career opportunities, or global communication, proficiency in English is a key skill for success. In the future, this importance will only grow, making it essential for students to develop strong communication skills from an early age.

Additionally, competition among schools is becoming more intense. To stand out and provide the best service to students and parents, schools must offer high-quality educational programmes that ensure real progress in English learning. The Native Speakers and Expatriate Teachers Programme is one such initiative, giving students the opportunity to learn from experienced teachers who use English as their primary language. This approach not only improves fluency but also helps students gain confidence, preparing them for future academic and professional success.
