[Sun_2010]

Hi,


U can see this thread http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10829

i had enrolled DD in the foundation course, she liked it and did seem useful. I would like DD to continue but dont have much time for her noe, so will probably think in abt it next year.
But i think the kids have to be a little older 7+ But you can check with Academy IG .

Hi Vlim & Sun_2010,


both my 2 girls (6 & 8yrs old ) started (half yr-20lesson, 1 semester) NAFA preparatory BILINGUAL(meaning 10lesson Mandarin+ 10lesson Eng) COMPERE course since Jan 2010,

after passing their test at end of 20lesson (1 semester), ( i believe so long as you memorise & speak in front of the whole class of 15 students, you will pass).

For more info, you could surf NAFA website http://www.nafa.edu.sg/in_courses/youngtalents/2010/_JDR_PreparatoryBilingualCompereClass.htm

or call nafa 65124168

Hope this helps.. before I chance upon NAFA, i almost wanted to go for academy IG, but i find it too expensive & usually not enough students to start a class. When I reg both girls last nov (for Jan10 intake), I met another parent, who switch her girl from AcademyIG to nafa. He said her girl (cant remember her age,is it 7yrsold now) is the only student in AcademyIG, so they paid alot for that private lesson.


nafa 20lesson(each semester) cost $642+reg $32?



both enjoyed their lesson very much. Next both will proceed to Formal Bilingual compere class (2 semesters each 20 lesson - 1 yr time)

I am a BO-CHAP mummy, never revise their compere notes, they just \"rattle off \" those eng peoms & chinese tongue twisters/peoms..

Hi Guys, thanks for the reply. I will check out the one nearer to town as I am staying in the central part of Singapore. Appreciate your sharing.

Let me know if anyone find a other good course that will help build up a confident and outspoken child. In today’s school environment, this is also part of the curriculum thus am worried that she will fail in this.
Thks once again!

Hi Steven, I called up the school but was told they do not conduct classes for 5-6 years old. Preferably ard 9 years old.

Thanks for sharong though.

All the lessons for public speaking at Academy IG is conducted in groups of 8 students. Starting from 6years old. Their prices are not expensive, as it depends on when you sign up. If you sign up early during their early bird special promotion, the lessons are much cheaper. I think their November holidays early bird special ends September 30. Called the school and they said very few places left. Also their programme is ongoing and students can earned an International Certification in Communication Skills from Grade 1 to Grade 8. They have UK examiners coming twice a year to conduct the exams. You can call them for more information. This is their number 67372700

Hi, I would like my DD and DS to be comfortable with public speaking from a young age. But I am not looking for a 'serious course' but something more fun like those 'speech and drama'. Do anyone have any suggestions for a fun way to speech and drama? pls advice thanks

There are some in the market as well where some people feel it is quite good.
