Mother Tongue

The subjects Chinese, Malay and Tamil are offered from the Mother Tongue Department.

The Mother Tongue curriculum in Temasek Academy aims to instill in students a love for the respective languages and cultures. The department has designed a broad based curriculum, which includes the Ministry of Education Mother Tongue Syllabuss and a school-based syllabus to suit the many learning needs of our TA students. Furthermore, students who go through the Mother Tongue programme are also groomed into confident communicators in their respective languages.

To achieve such aims, students are engaged in creative and exciting activities such as film-making, staging drama productions, outdoor classroom experiences and creative writing. Songs, movies and other forms of multimedia are used to enrich the classroom experience.
