Learning Objectives(學習目標)
The subject target of English Language is for students to develop an ever-improving capability to use English to:
• think and communicate;
• acquire, develop and apply knowledge; and
• respond and give expression to experience;
and within these contexts, to develop and apply an ever-increasing understanding of how language is organised, used and learnt.
Curriculum Highlights(課程特色)
Our English school-based curriculum focuses on the use of English and a meaningful connection with the daily life. Co-curricular and cross-curricular activities are designed in our curriculum to enhance the teaching of English Language in our school.
Two native-speaking English teachers co-teach in different levels to provide an authentic environment for students to learn English and increase students' exposure to English. Our NET has developed a school-based phonics programme to enhance the self-learning abilities of our students. Primary One and Primary Two students will have 1 lesson on phonics by our NET teacher each week.
The following elements are valued and enhanced in our curriculum:
- learning motivation
- learner autonomy and independence
- self-directed learning strategies and peer-assessment
- IT in education (e-learning)
- reading to learn and reading across the curriculum
- teaching across disciplines
- higher order thinking, critical thinking and creativity
- meaningful homework
