High-quality school-based courses to create an international English atmosphere

TWGHs Tsoi Wing Sing Primary School As a school that cultivates students to become "tomorrow's leaders", it is committed to creating a rich English learning environment and arranging immersive English learning courses to equip students with English skills that are in line with the world. In just six years since its establishment, the school has been deeply recognized by parents and society. It has a diverse and extensive student body, effectively improving students' academic performance and establishing good moral qualities. Principal Liang Dunyu and his teaching team plan a comprehensive and balanced school-based curriculum, provide in-depth and meaningful learning experiences, and create a beautiful campus life for students with wisdom, perseverance, and a positive attitude.

Designing distinctive school-based courses to immerse yourself in the English learning atmosphere

The school is committed to cultivating students to become "tomorrow's leaders" and pays special attention to exploring their language potential, especially the development of English ability. The school creates a diverse and rich English learning environment and designs immersive English courses to cultivate students' language skills to connect with the world. From the moment students step onto campus, they can feel the strong English atmosphere. The school invested a lot of resources, hired three foreign English teachers, and incorporated different English elements from the surrounding learning and environmental facilities. Principal Liang pointed out, "Just like the theme of our founding ceremony, 'Start with a single step, choose high and build high', the school hopes to help students set ambitious aspirations and goals, and at the same time let them feel the care of the teaching team, thereby cultivating a positive learning attitude and becoming the driving force for continuous growth and progress."

In addition, in order to take care of the diversity of students' language learning, in addition to the main subject of English, the school also provides English-assisted teaching in subjects such as mathematics, science, visual arts, music, and even physical education, adding more English elements. The school also arranges for foreign teachers to teach football and learn professional vocabulary related to different sports. Through communicating with people of different nationalities, students can enhance their English expression skills and self-confidence. At the same time, the school has also designed many special courses based on inquiry-based learning and special topics to increase children’s exposure to English, so that English learning is no longer limited to the classroom. For example, teachers will encourage students to go out for visits and report the content in written or oral form to practice their writing and speaking skills.

Establish independent learning habits and diversified reading policies

Reading not only opens up a treasure trove of knowledge, but also plays a key role in students’ language development. The school library has specially set up an interactive reading space to allow students to conduct individual or group activities in a comfortable environment and cultivate their interest in reading English books. In terms of English reading planning, the teaching team specially trains "Reading Buddies" in the fourth and fifth grades to teach reading skills to junior primary school students and create a reading atmosphere on campus through book story sharing. At the same time, the school also encourages foreign teachers to set up a "Book Club" to arrange for fifth grade students to read English storybooks at home and extend after-school reading to establish independent learning habits. Afterwards, the teacher will also arrange for students to discuss their thoughts after reading the book with other students to promote peer learning.

Cultivate "English Ambassadors" and actively enhance interactive communication in English

By using more English to communicate in daily life, students can improve their speaking skills, apply the English knowledge they have learned to real life, accumulate experience in English communication, and gradually develop their language skills. To this end, the school provides a wealth of practical opportunities, allowing students to fully integrate English into their lives under the influence of a strong English atmosphere. The English subject team trains students to become "English Ambassadors" and arranges for them to serve as moderators during morning meetings, sharing weather forecasts, jokes, fables, etc. in English to all students in the school. The activity not only provides opportunities to practice English, but also improves students' self-confidence and sense of satisfaction, and also cultivates the spirit of serving others. At the same time, other students were also infected by them and became interested in learning English, successfully promoting the school to create a stronger English learning atmosphere.

Distinctive English drama education to cultivate international competitiveness

In order to cultivate students' international competitiveness and global perspective, the school not only trains students to communicate flexibly in English, but also deepens their innovative thinking and ability to absorb knowledge. This will lay a solid foundation for the future transition to English middle school courses and admission to university. Therefore, in addition to focusing on teaching students different English knowledge, the school is also committed to cultivating their love for English learning and has designed a complete and coherent curriculum structure to develop students' reading and writing abilities. The teaching team encourages students to use their imagination and creativity in their studies, such as learning vocabulary, grammar, the use of punctuation, and the connection of language structures through poetry and dramatic works. Later, they applied the knowledge they learned to writing, expressing their inner world with skillful brushstrokes.

At the same time, drama education, as a major teaching feature of school English courses, provides students with rich opportunities for exploration, expression and performance. Principal Liang said: "Each first-year student will participate in at least six drama activities organized by experts, and gradually gain a deeper understanding of English drama through games, music, dance, etc. During the activities, students will gradually find their personal learning interests and develop their talent potential. At the same time, drama education can improve students' language expression skills and help enrich children's emotional world and physical expression ability by understanding stories and scripts." After receiving training in drama education, students are more willing to communicate with others in English, and use English to express their ideas in public with an open mind.

The teaching results are remarkable and I hope to be admitted to my favorite English middle school.

The school's teaching quality and dedication are highly praised by parents, the strong support of the school sponsoring organization, the professional ability of the teaching team and other aspects have created a high-quality learning environment in the school. Therefore, there are many students who choose the school as their first choice, and the teaching results are encouraging, which reflects that the school's English teaching is effective and students have diversified learning experiences. At the same time, as for the transition to secondary school, the school actively organizes preparatory meetings and invites English secondary schools from inside and outside the district to share with the school, such as St. Rosa's College, Anglican Tsang Shiu Tim Secondary School, Ying Hua College, etc. Principal Liang said: "For each promotion meeting, we will invite 4 to 5 English direct subsidy subsidy or subsidized secondary schools to let students understand the teaching characteristics of different schools and equip them early to make long-term further education and study plans." Many secondary schools have reported that their students meet the curriculum requirements of English secondary schools, and they adapt and master the content faster than ordinary students.
