Characteristics |
-
In line with the English Language Education curriculum framework,
our school has constructed a balanced and coherent school-based
English language curriculum which enhances students’ four
language skills. Reading workshops, school-based writing curriculum
(Little Writers), e-teaching
and learning resources and self-directed
learning are the core components throughout the 6-year English
teaching and learning.
-
PLP-R/W has been implemented in P1 to P3 since 2013. Both LETs
and
NET are familiar with the programme and adaptations have
been made.
In order to cater for learners’ diversity, book leveling
is conducted yearly
so that students can read books according to
their reading abilities.
-
We joined the SCOLAR Drama Scheme in primary four to promote
creativity in 2009-2010. The established school-based drama
curriculum
is continued in P4 every year.
-
A variety of life-wide or cross-curricular learning activities are developed in order to further promote experiential learning, such as interclass role-play and mock interview with tourists in P.4, Water Rocket Experiment in P.5 and study and presentation of endangered animals in P.6…etc.
-
Thinking tools and visuals tools are used in all levels to enhance students’ thinking skills, writing skills and self-directed learning ability.
-
In order to cater for learners' diversity, the enrichment curriculum
such
as Bright Sparks for P4, P5 and P6 students enhance the
standard of
the more able students through different meaningful
activities like
publishing our school newspaper, puppetry and drama.
-
“English Week”, which is a yearly programme, provides
students
with opportunities for reading some famous classic
stories and
doing some language arts activities like songs,
rhymes and role-plays.
-
SCHOLASTIC e-library programme and PLP-R/W programme are carried
out so as to facilitate the development of a reading culture and to
expose students to a wide range of text types in order to enhance
their reading proficiency.
-
Our school has employed a NET to form a collaborative workforce
with local teachers and to develop our school-based English
language
curriculum. Co-planning meetings are held every week for
teachers to discuss the teaching of reading, writing, speaking
and language activities.
-
Tuesdays have been allotted as “English Speaking Day” in order
to cultivate students’ speaking habit.

- This school-based reading programme will be implemented in P4 – P6. It aims to promote reading across the curriculum (RaC) and to
incorporate values education in the core English Language curriculum.
- Through reading various printed and multi-modal texts that thematically align with the textbook units, students will extend their knowledge base and learn various reading strategies
- To promote self-reflection and self-directed learning by engaging students in the assessment process
- In order to engage students in reflecting on and monitoring their progress of learning through their roles and responsibilities in relation to their learning, assessment as learning will be gradually carried out throughout P1-P6 in the coming three years.
- Revised writing checklists for different levels with particular foci in each level will be adopted. In addition, a revised peer evaluation form for presentation will be used.
- To promote self-reflection and self-directed learning by engaging
students in the

- Apart from the literal questions, more higher-order thinking questions especially related to values education are asked during lessons.
