Struggling with Chinese Oral? Your child isn’t alone. In Primary 5–6, most students only practice oral 2–3 times a year in a class of 40. With a lack of a good environment to practice, those few minutes simply aren’t enough.
At Tanglin Education, we turn oral anxiety into oral excellence — in small classes of max 6 students where every student speaks, practices, and improves.
Why Chinese Oral Isn’t Just Another Subject — It’s 1/4 of the PSLE Chinese Grade
- Unlike in school, where large class sizes limit individual practice, our small-class model ensures:
- Personalised feedback after every oral attempt
- Weekly structured practice — not just once a term
- Safe, encouraging environment to build fluency and confidence
- We don't just repeat school lessons — we complement and complete them. That’s the Tanglin difference.
Here’s How We Do It: The Tanglin Oral Framework
In a typical PSLE oral exam, students face:
Reading Aloud — scored on pronunciation, fluency, expression Video Conversation — tested on description, personal experiences, opinion, and suggestions
Most students struggle because they lack structured response techniques.
- Example: Video Conversation Question
Video shows students cleaning a community garden. Q: What are the benefits of such activities?
“It keeps the place clean… and people will be happy.” (Vague, lacks vocabulary and structure.)
- Our trained response:
“这类社区活动有多方面的好处。首先，它能培养青少年的责任感，让他们学习爱护公共环境。其次，集体协作可以增进邻里之间的感情，促进社区团结。最后，一个干净美观的环境也能提升居民的生活素质，让大家心情更加愉快。”
We teach:
- A clear response structure (首先…其次…最后…)
- Topic-specific vocabulary (责任感，集体协作，社区团结，生活素质)
- Confidence to elaborate with personal examples

How We Teach: The 4-Pillar Approach
1. Oral Communication (口试)
- Picture Discussion, conversation skills: Learn to describe scenes using rich vocabulary and clear sentences. Learn to speak smoothly without pauses.
- Prepare for tricky questions: learn to quickly react to thought provoking questions that are not frequently asked
- Example:
2025年 PSLE 华文口试 Day 2 题：家庭出游去动物园 问题： 除了动物园，你还会向你的外国朋友介绍新加坡的哪个景点？为什么？ 面对这些冷门话题如何回答？

2. Composition Writing (作文)
This part is more of a race against time than a skills and content check, but with ample preparation it will be a breeze.
