Triplican 在設計及製作課程時,參考了很多著名、具影響力的學術理論 (涉及教學、心理、記憶、學習等等的範疇),並將理論實踐及融合在課程當中,優化學習體驗,務求使學生牢牢記住所學的東西,從而獲得最高的學習成效。以下是其中幾項具重要的教學理念 :
任何的學習一旦沒有複習,就會開始遺忘。但 及時的複習 可以將遺忘的速度降低,並延長其記憶的時間,甚至逐漸將學習過程中的短期記憶轉為永久記憶。
Triplican 很有計劃地加入複習,助你把學過的東西轉為長期記憶。
人類的長期記憶以多種不同的形式展現﹕外顯記憶的情節記憶以及語意記憶,亦有內隱記憶的程序記憶、經典條件反射以及觸發。
Triplican 運用不同的方法去促進這 5 種長期記憶,務求減低遺忘的機會。
合適的難度可以使表現達到頂尖狀態,但難度過高或過低卻使表現下降,例如在毫無難度的情況下,人們通常會較為懶散及無效率,同樣困難重重的時候,卻無法令人保持專注,表現會自然每況愈下。
Triplican 精心衡量恰當的難度,令學員能夠在最佳的狀態中學習,自然就會事半功倍。
擁有"成長心態"的人追求挑戰與學習機會,相信自己擁有無限的可能性,亦相信能力本身是可以經由努力去改變和塑造。相反"固定心態"局限了學習的能力,因為他們害怕失敗,不敢嘗試,認為能力是固定及天生的。
Triplican 不斷幫助學員培養"成長心態",讓他們取得更理想的學習成果,從而闡明"心態致勝"的道理。
英國特種部隊是英國軍隊中最精銳的部隊。他們深信 - 平日堅持對部隊進行艱苦而嚴格的訓練,才能使部隊於上陣時表現得更輕鬆。
Triplican導師會配合學生的程度/需要,為其提供具挑戰性的練習,鞏固所學的內容。透過平日艱苦的操練,才能幫助我們的學生迅速地提高英語水平。例如,Triplican所提供的聆聽練習,所用的語速是外國人平日說話的速度,絕對不會減慢,因為這才能真正訓練學生的「英文耳」。遇上外國人時,不再會覺得「明明識所有字,但硬係聽唔明」。
One philosophy in education is to force children to sit through difficult, boring and apparently purposeless tasks, usually repetitively, in order to cultivate discipline. This is one valid approach to learning and has been used by billions of people for thousands of years. An alternative philosophy is to reveal the natural beauty of every topic by carefully structuring the learning materials so that they are naturally enjoyable to consume. We use authentic, real-world movie clips to provide relevance and context to the English concepts that we teach. This instantly makes the content at least a little bit meaningful. It also helps students remember the English that we teach along with our videos, because the English appears inside a context, and there are moving visuals that the brain naturally remembers. Students often tell us they see words and phrases in the real-world that they remember seeing in the videos they have watched with us. They also remember the meanings from the contexts of these same scenes.
Discipline is a critical life skill. Success demands it. However, when a child loves a subject, discipline becomes less critical to their success. A child who enjoys a subject feels they are motivated internally by their own choices, rather than externally via the threat of punishment or the prospect of rewards. Intrinsic motivation unleashes powerful, sustained ability to persevere with a subject. Forcing children to sit through boring exercises that do not have clear explanations given within a wider framework of true understanding, robs the child of purpose, meaning, and relevance in their learning. This kind of approach very often leads to strained relationships between parents and children. You can either choose to push a boulder uphill your entire life, or push it once downhill, and let it roll with gravity. When you fight nature, you may win some battles along the way, but the risk is that you may eventually lose the war.
Another matter that often restricts students' progress is that they usually want exam tips and hacks to try and trick their way to better performance in school assessments. This can give you a small boost in performance, perhaps increasing your exam scores by 5 to 10 marks out of a 100. But how can you expect to achieve good results without understanding the language? Would you expect a native English speaker to perform well on a Chinese exam with just exam tips and hacks? Our tutoring services build your fundamental understanding of real English so that you will actually understand what you are reading, writing, hearing and speaking. You cannot write and speak properly in English without understanding grammar, yet many students try to succeed by simply speaking and writing a lot. They are usually just repeating the same mistakes over and over again, and reinforcing incorrect habits in their own minds. You cannot expect to succeed without a solid foundation of proper grammar.
Many parents want to know whether a tutoring service will follow the school's curriculum, yet the vast majority of people in Hong Kong complete 13 years of schooling and still can't understand or use English properly, especially when interacting with native English speakers. So, do you think the Hong Kong education system and the school curriculum is preparing your child effectively? There is no point in mastering textbook English if you don't know real English. Most ten-year-old native English speaking children can complete the Hong Kong DSE with ease, simply because they understand the patterns of English usage and how English actually works. When you learn English properly from the fundamentals, it doesn't matter whether you follow the school curriculum or not. These are the fundamentals we teach. We employ teaching tools that quickly build real English proficiency, and this delivers faster grade improvements than the school curriculum, which cannot be found anywhere else in Hong Kong.
