Aims

The English Language Curriculum aims at:
 

  • developing students’ confidence and competence in communicating through English
  • providing an interesting and authentic learning environment for students
  • empowering students’ self-directed learning abilities

Overview

Our English Language Curriculum is learner-centered. We emphasize the use of English for communicative purposes and offer a lot of exposure and learning opportunities both inside and outside classrooms.

Teaching Strategies:

  • Phonics skills taught explicitly
  • Promote self-directed learning by engaging students in their own learning process (e.g. show and tell, role-plays, presentations, etc.)
  • Use multisensory approaches (e.g. games, songs, etc.)
  • Provide ample opportunities for quality exposure and meaningful application from listening and reading to speaking and writing in different contexts
  • Nurture generic skills by designing different activities such as pair work and group work
  • Promote peer and self-assessment

Reading to Learn:

  • P.1-3: Involve the native English speaking teacher (NET) and local English teachers to work collaboratively to develop students’ English Language abilities through Primary Literacy Programme – Reading and Writing (PLP-R/W)
  • P.4-6: Incorporate reading workshops into the school-based English Language curriculum and  reading skills are taught explicitly
  • Launch regular reading activities (e.g. School-based Reading across the Curriculum Programme, Home-Reading Programme, etc.)
  • Promote e-Reading platforms (e.g. Kids A-Z, Epic)
  • Use a wide spectrum of reading materials to enhance students’ exposure

e-Learning:

  • Empower pedagogy by using e-Learning in pre-lesson, in-lesson and post-lesson stages
    (e.g. Quizlet, Nearpod, Padlet, Edpuzzle, Kahoot, etc.)

Creating a Language-rich Environment:

  • Launch thematic activities (e.g. Story Alive, Spelling Bee, Talent Quest, etc.)
  • Incorporate English Language learning into extra-curricular activities (e.g. Drama Team, English Debate Team)

Catering for Learner Diversity:

  • Launch enrichment programmes to extend the more able students
  • Launch intervention programmes to provide timely support for students who have difficulties

  • Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival
