and have improved their English Skills with the help of our teachers.

[Study English /School in Cebu, Philippines] SMEAG Capital Days June 19, 2015

[Study English /School in Cebu, Philippines] SMEAG Capital Days June 19, 2015

In celebration of SMEAG Capital Days, Teachers & Staff have their "Crazy Day" or "Theme Day".

On Fridays for the whole month of June, they need to wear something related to the agreed

theme of the week.

Last week, the theme was "Retro", which means they had to wear something "Retro" style.

Something that displays the characteristics of the past.

One of the reasons for this is to tighten the good relationship between teachers & staff. Each week,
different theme which means, Teachers & Staff will wear different styles on Fridays for this month.


This shows that SMEAG Teachers & Staff are flexible enough to handle things in a fun and memorable way.

[Study English /School in Cebu, Philippines] SMEAG Red Diary 2015

RED DIARY?

All new incoming students will receive the "Red Diary" before their orientation at SMEAG.

It is a tool to help students to improve their writing & listening skills. It is called "Red Diary" because

the student's individual teachers will correct the diary using a red pen.

The student's teachers correct grammatical errors and motivate the student to do more

and always put their best foot forward for a great improvement.

Every entry needs to be filled up to 75% of the page. Daily written diaries are submitted

to the student's Reading & Writing teachers for corrections. As for dictation pages,

it will be conducted with the Listening & Speaking teachers.

After 20 entries, students will be able to grab a souvenir or freebie from SMEAG.

INSTRUCTIONS IN USING THE RED DIARY (FOR STUDENTS):

1. Write according to the theme or title given by the teacher. It is important that you understand

    what you are going to write.

2. Write with a minimum number of words (150- ESL,/ 250-IELTS). Much better if you write more.

3. It is nice if you write legibly with 8-10 words per line and write within the grey lines.

4. Kindly avoid writing too large letters larger than a single letter or two from the very edge

    of the left margin to the right margin.

5. Avoid making erasures and use pencil so you can make erasures then writing

    down your thoughts.

6. Do not use diary for any other purposes.

(LISTENING-DICTATION)

1. Listening entries are located at the bottom of each page with 10 missing words.

2. The dictation part will be conducted in the LS class with the teacher.

3. Fill out the missing words as you listen to the record and checking will be done after.

4. A question should be answered after every dictation for listening comprehension.

*Students who are done with all tasks, they can get a freebie from the Academic Office. Red Diary will help students to improve their writing and listening skills.

Next in line: SMEAG AIRS IN THAILAND!

YES! You read it right!

SMEAG was featured in Thailand as the chosen Academy by many Koreans, and other nationalities

for its high-quality of teaching, facilities and approachable teachers and staff.

One of the reasons why many students choose SMEAG and experience SEPANX (separation anxiety)

when they have to go back to their own country is because of its friendly, happy and energetic environment.

Teachers and students have the chance to interact with each other regardless of the nationality and culture differences.

Even that way, the respect for each other still remains no matter what.

It's the friendship and memories here in SMEAG that count.

Lastly, let us keep everyone posted regarding the population of students per nationality.
The picture above shows that the population is gradually increasing because it's peak season,

which means more and more students from different countries are coming to study English with us.

So let's study English together because it's more fun learning English in SMEAG.
