The ‘ENGLISH MANIA’ programme is designed to align with the broader theme of SCOLAR’s English Alliance 2023/24 and 2024/25 theme ‘Authentic and Creative use of English’.

This programme is designed to develop creative writing, speaking, articulating, and presentation skills through comic book making centred around a STEAM-paired story theme and its related language arts activities encompassing reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary building.

The objectives of this programme are:

1. To improve creative writing and thinking skills in English through comic book making activity;
2. To enhance the visual, auditory and comprehension skills by following instructions and responding to concept checking questions during the lesson;
3. To build confidence and fluency in language use by motivating students to narrate and present their comic book in English to their peers;
4. To strengthen vocabulary by raising phenomics awareness and exploring language pattern through lesson-based reading and writing activities.
5. To stimulate critical thinking skills, interpret inputs and understand inferences by engaging in lesson-based problem solving and decision-making games; and
6. To activate schema and build connections through engaging in designing and creating their own lesson-based project.
