 Foreign Language Training Course For Secondary & Junior
College Students
Objectives 
Spring College International offers conversational courses for all 3 mother-tongue languages – Chinese, Malay and Tamil. The course is specially designed for students who wish to pick up another race’s mother tongue, and will provide one of the most effective, practical, affordable and fun ways to learn a new language. This course aims to introduce the proper speech and pronunciation to enable the students to carry out conversations in another mother-tongue language, since we are living in a multi-racial society. We will guide students to engage in conversations by training them to form sentences with proper structures. The course places much emphasis on improving the ability of the learners to use the newly-learned language to converse with their friends of other races.

WHY STUDY WITH US? 
-
Spring College International is registered with the MOE and only employs MOE-approved teachers.

-
Our teachers are not only committed to their work and have a strong sense of responsibility, but also very amiable. This allows students to accept them easily, thus being more co-operative and attentive in class, making the lesson more effective.
-
Our teachers have high academic qualifications and vast teaching experiences. They are equipped with the necessary teaching skills and adopt creative teaching methods so that students can benefit more from the classes.
-
We also have our very own course materials for the students that are properly and carefully designed by our teachers according to the curriculum.
-
We have about 6 years of experience in conducting enrichment classes and language courses at various well-known schools island wide.

We have received good feedback from our past Mandarin and Malay courses customers. One good example would be from Raffles Institution (RI).
