VCE Tutoring

English is one of the essential requirements for completing VCE in Melbourne, and students can choose to take on English Language or conventional VCE English, depending on their preferred learning styles and strengths. The main goal of this subject is to enable students to develop and refine their reading, writing, English literature and spoken English and get a great study score.

Students will understand the culture, values, and context used in texts and how this affects the content’s meaning and interpretation. They are also required to learn about personal and public discourses in social, workplaces, and trades groups. The subject will also provide students with the opportunity to use their analytical skills and improve their knowledge and understanding of linguistics. Also, students are expected to study public commentary, publications, and various form of VCE English literature.

Therefore, this will widen their knowledge of how the English language functions and how it is related to other fields like arts, sciences, law, trades, politics, and education, while also improving their study score. Lastly, students will learn how to use English literature in another communication-related field, including communication and information technology programs and solutions.

Tips To Help Your Child With Reading, Writing, and Speaking English

When it comes to helping your child with English, you must assess your child’s language proficiency level. This provides you with all the relevant information on what type of beginner materials will work based on their learning needs.

Here are additional tips on how you can help your child learn English more effectively.

Keep it simple

If you are teaching beginners, you need to start with the basics, like reading simple words and phrases. It is important to give them as many examples as possible so they will retain the lessons you are teaching them.

Check if they understand what you taught them

When teaching English, you need to read your student’s body language and know whether they really understood the lesson. You can check by asking them subtly and directly if they got it or not.

Give them time to practice

Don’t expect your child to get the lessons immediately, you will need to give them lots of examples and give them time to practice reading and writing. This will ensure that they have learned all the letters and sounds. In fact, practising regularly will develop their proficiency in using the language in both oral and written communication.

Always use positive reinforcement

You also need to create a friendly atmosphere by praising your child often, especially if they give you the right answer, and you must correct them calmly and respectfully since this will encourage them to learn more about the English language.
