DSA – ALP IN HUMANITIES AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE

EYE ON THE WORLD: STORIES THROUGH JOURNALISM

Our Applied Learning Programme in Humanities and English Language aims to develop you to be an all-rounded student with a good knowledge of contemporary issues. In particular, we hope to nurture you as one who is a discerning reader and a critical thinker and inquirer of knowledge, with the ability to communicate your ideas effectively through journalism platforms such as radio podcasts and photojournalism.

You will discover the joy of learning English Language and Humanities subjects such as Geography, History, and Social Studies through exciting opportunities to explore and learn about real-world issues. Recent topics that have been covered in our programme include inter-generational relationships, sustainable living, and a cashless society. These topics will be covered in and outside class in an engaging way where students complete current affairs quizzes, analyse articles, watch relevant videos and provide their own personal responses, which will be featured in our very own #Ruminate Gallery. You will also have the opportunity to research and work on projects which make a difference to the community!

At the same time, we will also hone your skills in research, media literacy, writing, photography, visual text production, and oral presentation in the various projects that you undertake with your peers. Apart from that, there will be customised workshops where you will be equipped with relevant skills in dramatic expressions and media production. These activities will enable you to think broadly, appreciate multiple perspectives, and be more confident in the delivery and articulation of your ideas through creative digital platforms. You will also be part of our PRSS Morning Waves radio programme which is broadcasted once a week, where you can design a ‘radio show’ to share your opinions on real-world issues like Covid-19 and racial harmony with your teachers and schoolmates.

Join us too, on our learning journeys to media organisations such as production studios, SPH and MediaCorp and take part in exciting competitions and conferences such as model United Nations and poster, photo, and video-making competitions so that you can appreciate the relevance of what you learn and have an opportunity to spar with students from other learning institutions.

If you have an interest and passion for learning more about Broadcast Journalism, Photojournalism, or Media Production, we invite you to join our Pasirian family.
