Be willing to learn, dare to innovate, and cultivate English talents

The Endeavourers Leung Lee Sau Yu Memorial Primary SchoolAdhering to the spirit of serving the society, the educational goal is to provide a pleasant learning environment and cultivate talents. The school has always kept pace with the times, optimizing and innovating to meet the needs of the new generation of education and social development. Principal Chen Guiying gives full play to the professional effectiveness of the teaching team. By designing high-quality and diverse English school-based courses and organizing diversified learning activities, she is committed to providing students with whole-person education and rich learning experiences, and creating a campus atmosphere of mutual respect, love, harmony and integration.

Reading expands knowledge areas and promotes the "reading with writing" strategy

In order to cultivate students' reading habits, expose them to more literary works, and expand their personal knowledge areas, the school designs reading courses for different grades as part of the school-based curriculum to stimulate and enhance students' reading interests and abilities. Principal Chen pointed out: "The courses are taught by local teachers and foreign teachers in collaboration, and rich and diverse reading activities are designed based on the content of the books, so that students can discover the joy of reading and enhance their cultural connotations." The school also makes good use of online learning platforms. Students can use electronic technology flexibly to read books of interest outside school, allowing reading and learning to transcend geographical and spatial constraints.

In addition, the school implements the teaching strategy of "reading with writing" and provides school-based writing courses that closely focus on different knowledge focuses and topics, and launches a series of writing activities, covering picture composition, free writing, etc. Teacher Mak Ka-yan, head of the English subject, said: "Students will write extended essays around the themes set by the teacher and use their imagination through free creation. Students can complete writing activities in the form of free writing, with no limit on content and word count. They can also draw in the essay. The teacher will not ask them to revise or evaluate their grades, but will give positive feedback in the form of words. Students are encouraged to internalize and output the knowledge they have learned, subtly improving their writing skills."

Understand the cultural atmosphere through literature and achieve outstanding results in English teaching

The school not only focuses on students' reading ability, but also provides value education through reading activities and comprehensively improves language skills. For example, it integrates group discussions, reports and other links into the curriculum to train students to use English in daily life. Principal Chen said, "Students can experience different cultural atmospheres through literature. While learning English, they also learn to respect and understand different cultures and backgrounds in different places." The school's foreign teachers come from different countries. They will share the cultural characteristics of their countries, broaden students' international horizons, and gain a more comprehensive understanding of cultural diversity and differences.

Promote collaborative teaching and explore the world of language

Good English skills help students get out of the classroom and explore the world. The school incorporates English learning elements from different levels. Foreign teachers and English teaching assistants will conduct relaxing and enjoyable activities with students in the English room and English corner during recess, such as book reading, English cartoon appreciation and English Cafe. Especially when seeing the childlike interactions between lower grade students and foreign teachers, the teachers couldn't help but smile. In addition, the school specially arranges a dual-teacher system for first-year English classes, with foreign teachers and local teachers cooperating in teaching. According to different learning levels and language abilities, appropriate support is provided to help them master the classroom content, integrate into campus life, and start a rich life.

Immerse yourself in real context, learn and apply knowledge

In order to enrich students' English learning experience and improve students' knowledge, skills and learning attitudes from daily life, the school flexibly adjusts teaching strategies and organizes diversified English activities. For example, relevant activities are organized during Western festivals such as Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving to teach students the culture and origin of the festivals. Teacher Zheng Sihuan, the director of English, added that the school has also set up an English Club to encourage students to participate in activities organized by foreign teachers, such as Art & Craft, Reading Club and Puppetry, hoping that students can use English naturally in a relaxed and interesting environment.

In addition to campus activities, the school also actively organizes off-campus visits, such as visiting Stanley and communicating with local tourists, discussing issues such as building conservation and culture; and inspecting different historical sites such as Murray House, the old Stanley Police Station, and Stanley Yellow House. Not only can they learn English knowledge and apply it to actual situations, but they can also break down the gaps in subject areas, actively explore and analyze information, and improve their study group reporting skills. In addition, as society returns to normalcy, the school plans to arrange for students to go to primary schools in Singapore for exchange studies and visit local NEWater plants and robotics research centers to provide more English learning experience and experience local culture, promoting cultural exchanges and collisions.

English Pathway Program Mastering Study Skills

The teaching team flexibly develops teaching strategies based on students' learning needs to help them enter their preferred English middle school. For example, in mathematics, the school will add English questions to worksheets starting from lower grades to enhance students’ mathematics-related English knowledge. For lower primary school students, teachers will design simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division questions; for upper primary school students, they will design basic word analysis questions to consolidate the English foundation in different subjects. In addition, for primary school freshmen who are about to enter the school, the school will also arrange for foreign teachers to tell them stories, prepare and adapt to the language environment in advance, and smoothly transition to the new curriculum.
