    Understanding Simple Instructions

    Response & Communication

    • During the interview, a teacher will often toss a question out to the group of children to see who will respond. Some kids will be quiet, while others will be very excited trying to get their answers heard.
    • Children are asked,  in some cases about their family members, where they live, when their birthday is and the puzzle or activity they are playing with.
    • Our programme is designed to help encourage children to develop confidence, fluency, and better speaking and communication skills through engagement in stories, pictures and theme-based learning, putting them ahead of the class!
    • Our TDP programme can be considered as a complementary course to the interviewing skills programme.
