New Things Grade 8 Australian Students Will Learn in English
In Year 8, students need to focus on mastering the structure of paragraphs. They also need to use examples, quotes, and other evidence to support their claims on any given topic. Year 8 English students also need to learn how nominalisation and rhetorical devices are used in persuasive and informative texts.
Grade 8 students also begin to question the credibility of information sources and the validity of the content. Humour, wordplay and innuendo are other themes that students explore this year.
Overcome Your Learning Challenges with Year 8 English Tutors
Years 7 and 8 are the foundation for success in HSC English. Hence, students need to iron out any problems they are facing in the subject right now. The main problems students in this grade have are that they take mastery for granted and don't like to practise. Since there is no NAPLAN assessment in Year 8, they ignore the immediacy of learning.
They also find it difficult to plan things logically or to prioritise work. This is where our English tutors come in. They are experts at teaching study methods and time management skills to help your child cope with the demands of Junior High School.
What Our Grade 8 English Tutors Help You Achieve?
CrunchGrade offers Year 8 English Australia tutors that help students understand the selection of text structures and language features depending on the purpose and audience of the text. With their help, Grade 8 students can easily learn to interpret texts as well as question the reliability of information and idea sources.
Our classes are lively where children contribute actively to group discussions. This develops their ability to communicate their ideas confidently. We also focus on preparing students for exams and assessments so that they can score well in higher classes.
Important Topics in Year 8 English Syllabus
Year 8 is the time when students need to consolidate and master concepts they have learned earlier before they move to Stage 5 of learning. Instead of learning new things, they need to focus on applying their existing knowledge in more complex ways.
They also need to do more homework in Year 8 to practise their skills. Our English tutors can help your child with both - learning new topics and revising old ones.
Challenges in Tutoring English to Year 8 Students
For many students, Year 8 is the first time they come across Shakespeare. It can be a challenge to understand his plays without any prior exposure. Our tutors can help your child get over this hurdle by breaking down the language and making it easy to understand.
They can also help with other tough topics like poems and wordplay. If your child is struggling with any particular topic, our tutors can focus on that and make sure they understand it before moving on.
Some students find it difficult to write complex analytical paragraphs. In such cases, our tutors guide them through the analytical procedure step-by-step so that they can master it. This makes it easy for them to complete the assignment and get good grades.
