Daily English Learning Lesson: Sunday, July 13, 2025 – Review
Theme: Review
Why it matters for English learning: Review is essential in the PSLE English syllabus to consolidate weekly progress, reinforce retention, and address gaps in understanding. For Singaporean students, regular reviews help integrate standard English skills across themes while reflecting on Singlish influences, ensuring holistic preparation for exams and confident language use in everyday contexts like school discussions or family chats.
What students will learn: Students will revisit and integrate key PSLE concepts from the week’s themes (grammar through speaking), practice mixed exercises, and self-assess their progress to build a stronger foundation in English.
AI Prompts for Students to Use with ChatGPT
These prompts combine elements from the week’s themes for comprehensive PSLE review with Singaporean relevance:
