A. Aims of English Language Teaching

The aims of English language Teaching in our school:

• to provide every learner of a second language with further opportunities for extending their knowledge and experience of the cultures of other people as well as opportunities for personal and intellectual development, further studies, pleasure and work in the English medium; and
• to enable every learner to prepare for the changing socio-economic demands resulting from advances in information technology; these demands include the interpretation, use and production of materials for pleasure, study and work in the English medium.

The Subject Target for English Language is for learners to develop an ever-improving capability to use English

• to think and communicate;
• to acquire, develop and apply knowledge;
• to respond and give expression to experience;

And within these contexts, to develop and apply an ever-increasing understanding of how language is organized, used and learned.

B. An extensive curriculum

We set students on the path to success through a stimulating and comprehensive curriculum. We focus on practical language skills and hands on activities. Our curriculum includes the following:

• PLPRW (P.1-P.3): Incorporates instruction of phonics, reading strategies and writing skills by NETs and local teachers to build students into proficient readers
• DTS/ RAC (P.1-P.3): Broadens students’ horizons by introducing other subjects through the use of text sets
• SuRE (P.4-P.6): Enhances students’ abilities through instruction in advanced reading strategies and critical literacy
• Show and Tell (P.4-P.6): Fosters confidence and develops public speaking skills needed for secondary school success by allowing students to practice with a NET

C. Innovative learning through IT

We unleash students’ potential by embracing technology. Exciting IT activities make learning fun and inspire pupils. Here are a few examples of our initiatives:

• Established BYOD for all students
• Launched Highlights Library to give students a vast selection of online books and develop their love of reading
• Incorporated a variety of apps into our daily lessons such as Padlet, Flipgrid and Nearpod to motivate and prepare students for the future
