課程特色

Our school-based English curriculum helps improve students' basic English competency by learning phonics, sight words and reading high-quality reading materials. Through reading the high-quality readers, students are exposed to authentic English and this cultivates students' sense of language and mastery of phonics skills.

Reading across curriculum is also promoted in our classrooms to broaden students’ knowledge base, help them connect their learning experiences and provide opportunities for integrating and applying knowledge and skills developed in different subjects. It also provides opportunities for students to develop a wide range of reading skills, extend learning of the content and connect their learning experiences across Key Learning Areas.

Furthermore, our English curriculum also focuses on the development of students' speaking skills and the ability to respond to questions with elaboration. Effective student-student interactive learning activities, such as pair-work, show and tell, presentation, and group work are designed for students to have more opportunities to speak as to increase students’ confidence in speaking English and communication skills.

In the implementation of e-learning, our English teachers use multimedia (such as songs, online videos, etc.) in the classroom, use electronic whiteboards or iPads to teach to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching.

In promoting students' interest in learning English, we provide students with different English activities to improve their English proficiency, such as Spelling Bee and Creative Writing Competition to promote students' interest in learning English. Students are encouraged to participate in different types of competitions, such as Speech Festival, Puppetry Competition, etc. to broaden their horizons with higher English proficiency in order to fully develop their potential.
