[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.
