Course Overview

Young Reporter: Life Explorer is a fun and interactive language programme designed for primary school students to build strong listening, speaking, and writing skills through real-life exploration. Children step into the role of "young reporters", learning how to observe their surroundings, capture interesting moments, and share their ideas confidently. Through storytelling, discussions, and creative tasks, students discover that language is not just a subject - it is a powerful tool to express the world around them.

This course nurtures curiosity, confidence, and communication skills in a lively and supportive environment.
