| Language Policy |
A diversified MOI arrangement is adopted to cater for the diverse learning needs of students. In junior forms, Mathematics is taught mainly in EMI. Other subjects adopt mother-tongue teaching with extended learning activities in English with a view to enhancing students’ exposure to English and the use of English in school. In senior forms, our NSS curriculum allows students to choose from a wide variety of EMI and CMI subjects.<br>Enabling students to become biliterate (in written Chinese and English) and trilingual (in Cantonese, Putonghua and spoken English) is one of our concerns. Apart from recruiting native English teacher and teaching assistants, a wide variety of activities, for example, extensive reading schemes in both Chinese and English languages, publication of students’ newsletter, and participation in inter-school speech festivals and public speech competitions in Cantonese, English and Putonghua etc. are organized so as to enhance students’ proficiency in both written and spoken languages. Moreover, volunteers from churches, universities and colleges of the USA have been serving our students and helping them to improve their English through the 'International Interface Program'. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
1. Small group teaching is implemented in English Language to strengthen specifically students’ learning effectiveness in English.<br>2. The implementation of multifaceted teaching, which let students learn via observation, excursion, interview, project-based learning, competition and service, can enhance students’ motivation to learn, and strengthen their independent thinking, problem-solving, and self-learning skills.<br>3. The implementation of all-round education seeks to provide formal as well as informal teaching with the values of spiritual, moral, civil, health, sex, environmental, and emotional education.<br>4. School-based curricula have been implemented in some subjects to cater for learner diversity and strengthen the effectiveness of teaching and learning.<br>5. The school-based award scheme is to encourage students to proactively develop their potential in a balanced way, to take the initiative to participate in school activities, and to eventually unleash their full potential.<br>6. In order to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning, teachers will constantly improve the methodologies in lessons by professional exchanges among peers via collaborative lesson planning and peer lesson observations. |
