Strong exam technique starts in primary school; and one powerful habit is teaching students to underline where they find each answer. This simple strategy supports active reading; improves focus; and helps children link questions to evidence in the text. Research shows that annotation and visual text-marking significantly boost comprehension; retention; and critical thinking (Duke & Pearson; 2002; Pressley; 2006). By building these skills early; we prepare confident; independent learners who perform better in exams and understand texts more deeply. 📚✏️

🎯 Revising with Games in ESL! 🧠🎲

Who says revision has to be boring? 😄
Using games in English lessons isn’t just fun ;it’s scientifically proven to boost learning! 🧩

🧃 Research from Cambridge University (2021) found that game-based learning increases student engagement and long-term retention; especially in language acquisition. When students play, they process language actively, build confidence, and remember vocabulary up to 40% more effectively. 💡

👉 Remember: when students play, they learn without even realising it! 💬💪

🌟 Every mistake is a chance to grow. When learners correct themselves, they turn errors into progress and doubts into confidence. 💪✍️ Self-correction isn’t just about fixing writing—it’s about building independent thinkers and resilient learners. 🚀✨

✨🎤 It was a special week at Columbia Private Institute! Our students got creative (or so we thought 😉) and hosted their very own Talent Show! 🌟

From singing 🎶 to comedy 🤹‍♀️ to surprises we didn’t quite expect 😂 … some acts were more successful than others, but one thing is certain: the English practice was exceptional! 💬👏

We’re so proud of their confidence, creativity, and courage! 💡💖

🚩💫 Today our kids became flag designers! They created their own flags to show who they are — full of colour, dreams, and personality. 🌈⭐ We’re so proud of their imagination and big ideas! 🧒👧
