Morning Class

Started today, DEC has pioneered a new program called "Morning Class". You might be familiar with school schedule which begins at 08.00 or 07.30, but Diniyyah Puteri students start their school activity at 06.30, for English Morning class. That's right! Even when the morning dew hasn't found the first light of the sun, our students have been ready with bags packed and passions set to meet their English instructors.


"I personally hope this program will help the students achieve higher TOEFL score, and also their English skill for daily life and school need," commented Miss Melia Febrianti, one of DEC English tutors. She continued, "Because the lessons mostly come in the form of vocabularies (and sample sentences), students get more easily to forget. This is a challenge for them, but the diligent students have proven to success as long as they do their best to succeed."

TOEFL-Integrated Class in Diniyyah Puteri


Diniyyah English Center as the foreign language learning center in Diniyyah Puteri Padang Panjang, has awarded a big responsibility to help students improve their TOEFL® scores for two reasons:
(1) the score will be one of the requirements to graduate from Diniyyah Puteri, and
(2) as international opportunities are more on open access, it cannot be denied that TOEFL® score plays a crucial role to succeed in being a global citizen.

Beginning this educational year, Diniyyah Puteri has integrated TOEFL® materials to formal classes. Designed by DEC team and collaborated with school teachers, TOEFL® classes prepare the students for a high score on their TOEFL®  exam by focusing on test-taking strategies and highlighting the academic English skills needed.

The classes include listening, structure and written expression reading, plus practice exam questions and simulation tests. By becoming accustomed to the test-taking environment, DEC expect the students will get used to the test and succeed in their TOEFL® exam.
