The Tamil Department of TPS aims to nurture pupil’s love for Tamil Language using different Teaching Strategies. Pupils are exposed to songs, listening to stories and many different language games. Role plays, story telling and Show-and-Tell are some strategies used effectively to arouse the pupils’ interest and engage them in learning the language.

“I Love Reading” is a strategy that is used to encourage pupils to read Tamil Stories and develop their language. Pupils plan and organize role plays and quizzes for their fellow friends to motivate them to read. The teachers also designed their own Oral and Composition packages to further aid pupils in their development in language. Listening Comprehension package is also designed to further equip pupils in language skills. Pupils are exposed to SAIL and Mind Mapping tools to aid them in self-directed learning.

 

P1 and P2 pupils are also exposed to a Show and Tell and this has been a tool to nurture their oral skills. Portfolio Assessment has also been introduced to the Lower Primary as a form of Formative Assessment. Apart from all this, our students are often sent for external competitions to showcase their talents. We aim to inspire pupils to have a life-long passion for Tamil language.
