Our School-based English Language Curriculum aims to immerse our students in a lively English-rich learning environment. We nurture our students to become active and confident English learners.
Our students are exposed to various activities allowing them to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment. We host regular whole-school, theme-based English Days (e.g. READ, Cultures' Day etc.) alongside more special events like Christmas Celebration and the Easter Egg Hunt, all of which provide students with opportunities to practice their language skills and develop their love for learning English.
We have adopted RWI synthetic phonics in our Key Stage 1 and 2 curricula. All KS1 and 2 students are guided to learn phonics by various interesting phonics games and phonic readers. Students are immersed in lively, interactive phonics routines—including multi-sensory 'Fred Talk' blending games, speed sound challenges, and hands-on activities—that turn decoding into an exciting adventure.
There are numerous English learning activities being organized for our students. Our P.3 students venture out to the nearby shopping mall for an opportunity to solve some riddles and shop for their favourite treats using English. Every P.4 student has an amazing chance to be a part of our end-of-year drama production, which is carefully planned and prepared by our team. The highlight of P.5 is definitely our Discovery Bay trip, where students visit a beautiful place to interact with native speakers while working their way through many challenges our English teachers prepared for them.
We encourage learning across the curriculum and cooperate closely with other subject teachers to provide students with ample opportunities to learn, explore and expand their range of vocabulary. Little Explorer is an integral part of our P.3-6 curriculum, which gives students a chance to combine science and English for maximum enjoyment and the best results. This year our students had an amazing opportunity to make solar ovens, their own laundry detergent and more!
There are different English after-school classes for our students to choose from, such as English Drama, English Musical, Choral Speaking Team, Filmit, Puppetry, etc. We aim to help our students develop the skills they need to become confident English performers on stage.
Tin Ling Got Talent is a YouTube series for students express themselves in a fun way. Let’s check it out.
