Integrate English into life and start a rich life

Assembly of God Hebron Secondary School We firmly believe that every student is unique and teachable, so we actively provide diversified learning activities and campus environment so that students can develop their potential both academically and physically. Principal Choi Hong Nin has profound experience in English teaching. He currently serves as the Chairperson of the EDB Committee on English Language Education. He leads the teaching team to design teaching policies and school-based curriculum that keep pace with the times, and creates an inspiring English learning environment, thereby enhancing students' motivation to learn English and opening up a rich life.

Diversified teaching strategies to create opportunities for applied English

The school has formulated diversified language teaching strategies to allow students to acquire English knowledge from multiple aspects, including setting up English corners, holding English inter-disciplinary activities, and making English reports in morning meetings, etc., to enhance students' initiative and enthusiasm for learning English. In recent years, the school has continued to promote a large-scale English activity "English Friday", with different learning themes every month, covering technology, sports, movies, crafts, etc., creating an immersive English learning atmosphere. The English subject team will also design various types of English games and activities, such as movie screenings, festival celebrations, board games, etc., to create more opportunities for students to apply English.

Strong English learning environment to cultivate cross-cultural communication skills

The school implements the education policy of "mother-tongue teaching and proficiency in both Chinese and English" and actively provides more opportunities for junior high school students to gradually come into contact with and apply English. For example, one class of intermediate-level students with good English proficiency will be arranged to study mathematics and science subjects with English as the language of instruction, creating a strong English learning environment and allowing students to have more extensive exposure to and use of English. Through the English-based teaching model, students need to complete classroom tasks in English and use English teaching materials and resources to get more opportunities to practice their English knowledge. In this process, students gain a deeper understanding of the culture and values ​​of English-speaking countries, learn how to communicate and cooperate with people from different backgrounds, develop cross-cultural communication skills and a global perspective, and become more competitive when entering society in the future.

Develop good reading habits and improve your English learning horizons

Reading is the key to unlocking the treasure house of knowledge. In order to cultivate students' good reading habits, the English subject group promotes different reading plans and continues to subscribe to the Raz-Kids online reading platform, which provides students with about 800 English e-books for free. Through books, students can explore different ideas, cultures and experiences, continuously enrich their knowledge and wisdom, and improve their language skills and reading comprehension. In order to take care of the diversity of students' learning, the teaching team will select appropriate English books for students, carefully guide students with different English abilities and reading speeds, and provide appropriate reading suggestions so that they can absorb more from the books.

Organizing overseas exchange groups to deepen cultural connotation

In order to enrich students' learning experience, broaden their international horizons, and enhance their confidence in using English. The school organizes overseas exchange groups every year. By visiting different places, on the one hand, we can understand the local customs, history and culture, and on the other hand, we can strengthen the ability of cross-cultural communication. The school’s overseas exchange groups have traveled all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and other places. In the future, the school hopes to expand its horizons and explore non-traditional English-speaking countries, visiting places such as Italy and Germany, to allow them to jump out of their own cognitive scope. Students can collect information and preview before going to these countries, thereby increasing the depth and breadth of learning.

Providing professional teaching support and significantly improving HKDSE results

The school attaches great importance to the academic performance of its students and is committed to helping them achieve excellent performance in the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination. By providing professional teaching support, we ensure that every student can be fully prepared to realize their potential and achieve their academic goals. To this end, the school specially organizes Saturday HKDSE English tutoring classes to encourage students to return to school on Saturdays to receive additional enrichment courses, practice HKDSE past examination papers, and improve their English application skills. The HKDSE English cram school on Saturday played an important role in improving students' English proficiency. Principal Choi Hong Nin said: "Judging from student questionnaires and attendance rates, this course has received positive and positive responses from students. More importantly, students have significantly improved their Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination scores in the past year."
