| Language Policy |
Our school is dedicated to cultivate competent language ability for our students; in Chinese and English language subjects, we will allocate more resources for our senior students by implementing small-group teaching based on student's language abilities, in order to meet different learning needs among students. To create a better English language learning environment, our school has an 'English Day' every week', 'English Morning Assembly' hosted by our students, 'English Song Dedication', 'English Movie Appreciation', and many other English activities during lunch time. Also, with the support from our school sponsoring body, one extra NET (native English teacher) and one English teacher are hired this year. Our school believes that through more speaking practices with the help of two NETs, and substantial manpower provided to English teaching team, a rich and effective English learning environment can be well established for implementing small-group teaching. |
