Immersive English education to achieve an ideal future

H.K.R.S.S. Tuen Mun Primary SchoolSince its establishment, the school has been adhering to the spirit of the school motto of "Preaching the Word and Exhibiting Charity", providing high-quality whole-person education and cultivating talents, so that students can cultivate their self-learning spirit and develop their personal potential in the process of learning and self-practice. Principal Pang Minpei leads the teaching team to create a caring and positive learning environment. By promoting cross-curricular reading plans, designing appropriate school-based courses, organizing diversified learning activities, and making flexible use of electronic technology, students can comprehensively enrich their English learning experience and work hard towards their goals and dreams.

Interdisciplinary reading program to create a strong reading atmosphere

Reading is an effective way to consolidate and expand knowledge. To this end, the school has set up a Kids Reading Corner underground, which is open to students to borrow different English reading materials after arriving at school in the morning, during recess and after school. At the same time, the school will also place books in classrooms, corridors and other places, and invest resources in the library to provide students with rich reading resources, so that students can have more diverse ways to acquire knowledge and have more opportunities to be exposed to English in daily life. By reading different types of books, you can expand your knowledge areas, master writing skills in different styles, develop good reading habits and promote students' independent learning.

In addition, the school designs school-based cross-curricular reading for senior students, taking English as the main subject and combining topics and knowledge elements from general knowledge, visual arts, computers and other subjects. Principal Pang said: “During the course, the teacher led the fourth grade students to play a Fun Game with the theme of toys from the past, in collaboration with the general knowledge subject. Day; the fifth-grade students read books related to the principles of parachutes and started studying in the general knowledge class. They read and learned the procedures and steps of making a parachute in the English class. They tried to make a parachute in the visual arts class, and finally introduced and shared the creative results in the English class. For the sixth-grade students, we led them to read related books with the theme of caring for the world, so that students can understand the situations and needs faced by different groups. We hope that in addition to learning grammar and new English vocabulary, students will also know how to be content and grateful, and learn to benefit others and care for society. "

Diversified school-based courses to master writing skills

The teaching team designs hierarchical coursework for students in accordance with the course content, taking care of the learning differences of students in the class, and implements the concept of top-notch students. The school also offers the Space Town school-based course, which focuses on teaching pinyin skills, expanding vocabulary reserves through reading various books, learning sentence structures and grammar, and then leading students to use their creativity and imagination to imitate, thereby establishing solid writing skills. For senior students, the school implements Process Writing. Teachers will teach students the materials and English words needed to write articles, and lead them to use learning tools such as mind maps to complete a complete article.

Organizing English activities and diversified learning experiences

The school actively organizes various English learning activities and combines teaching with interesting methods to stimulate students' interest in English. For example, Book Character Day is held so that students can play their favorite characters in the book after reading the book, feel the character's personality characteristics through role play, and at the same time improve their English conversation skills through the dialogue in the book. In addition, the school will also organize corresponding activities during different festivals, such as Halloween Fun Day, to allow students to immerse themselves in the joyful atmosphere of the festival. The English subject team also trains students to become "English Ambassadors", assisting in organizing various English activities and delivering lectures on different topics in weekly meetings. Students' long-term immersion in natural and vivid English contexts can naturally greatly enhance their confidence in English.

Apply electronic technology to promote independent learning

Electronic teaching tools can help improve learning and teaching effectiveness. The school has popularized the application of online reading platforms and introduced the Education City eRead Scheme to facilitate students to choose books according to their reading preferences and learning progress. They can scan the QR codes on the worksheets for different topics to collect more relevant information and broaden their knowledge. In addition, the English department makes good use of the Teams platform. Students can display articles and works on the platform and observe each other. The speaking test of senior students is also submitted to the teacher through the electronic platform. In order to facilitate students' self-study and parents to help their children review silent books, the school's English teacher personally recorded the silent book range and made it available through the school website and School app for students to review, master the correct pronunciation, and promote students' independent learning.

Precise curriculum transition plan provides appropriate learning support

The school is committed to providing students with support that meets their learning needs. It arranges English courses for students to enter middle school every Saturday to assist sixth grade students who are about to face interviews for entering middle school. At the same time, in daily tutorial classes, English conversation activities will be carried out under the leadership of foreign teachers to train students to use English more smoothly and flexibly to respond and answer during interviews. For first-year students, the school prepares adaptation courses for them in June and July. English pinyin skills and commonly used new words will be explained in class so that students can master the skills of applying English, adapt to the school curriculum as early as possible, and enjoy and embrace the rich campus life.
