什么是Power up加强英语？
What is “Power Up”?
Power Up加强英语是青苗昆明今年新开的针对学习英语困难、或之前接触英语有限的学生，所提供的课程。目标是帮助学生尽快提高英语水平，以便TA们不仅能够最终跟上主班级的进度，同时有机会以较好的成绩通过各项考试。Power up英文加强不仅帮助每一位学生建立语言基础，也帮助学生们所有在学习理解中简历自信心。
目前Power up加强英语包含3个要素的学习：必备英语单元，特定学术用于英语单元及正念&创造性英语单元。
Power Up is a course offered to students who are either struggling with the language, or new learners who have had little contact with English until now.The purpose of this course is to help struggling students to improve their English in order that they can not only eventually join the higher level English classes, but also stand a better chance at passing their exams with good grades. The course aims to not only build the language base of each student, but also their overall confidence as they learn and understand more from all of their classes.
Power Up currently incorporates 3 elements: English Language, Sciences and Emotional Development.

正念及创造性英语单元
重点是用英文培养学生的情商、自尊及身份认同；
使用创意项目进行教学，比如：绘画、角色建模、创意写作等等......
我们会带领学生创建了一本故事书，其中的内容是学生自己的短篇故事，学年结束将把这本书定制成实物送给学生。它不仅仅是一本书，也是学生进步实物印证。
The focus is on the Emotional Intelligence of the students, improving self -confidence, self -esteem and identity;
We use creative projects that includes for example, drawing, role modelling, creative writing and more;
We created a storybook, consisting of the students own short stories. This book is presented to the students at the end of the year and is a wonderful acknowledgement of their progress and a boost for their self-esteem and confidence.

正念及创造性英语单元，用实践证明了增强自信的学生在学习新语言中会更快得到进步。当学生无法使用新语言表达自己或分享知识时会产生极大的挫败感，这一情况可能会导致英语学习逐渐困难，而在Power Up加强英文课程中设置这一板块就显得尤其重要了。
It has been proven that students who increase in self-confidence, progress much faster in acquiring a new language. We understand the frustration students feel when they are unable to express themselves in a new language or share their knowledge and understanding with teachers and fellow students. This could lead to behavioural difficulties. By providing this support as part of the program, we ensure a holistic wellbeing for our students.
