英文科

English

We believe that English is not only a core subject but more importantly, it is a medium of communication in CCS and around the world. To start, learning has to be fun, interesting and meaningful. In CCS, we let children enjoy a lot of fun activities as they acquire the language.

 

In Primary One, they are freshmen from the class of K3, so we let them enjoy the honeymoon period of no dictation. The key message here is not to race in the starting point but to end strong as they graduate and compete against the rest of HK. These youngest of CCS will love the speech and drama training as they use the language to perform both on stage and in the classrooms. Show and Tell will be another opportunity for them to stand alone in front of the class and present.

 

These little ones will grasp their reading strategies using phonics skills. With three intense years of phonetic training, they will be reading on their own and enjoying the Learning to Read phase. NETs will share their storytelling skills during classes.

 

During recess, the children can go freely into the English Room and play games with the NETs. It is a room filled with the students’ great work and fun games to attract children to use English in a natural way.

 

During recess or lunch hours, NETs will arrange the popular live Radio Show for students to chat about their topics of interest. It is a relaxing live broadcast for students to gain confidence.

 

The more they read, the better their writing skills. A set of online reading programme and take home reading will allow them to read anywhere anytime.

 

We also practice Shared and Guided Reading in small groups and as a class with NETs. We appreciate individual differences so we levelled students’ reading level and assign them with books that are appropriate for each individual. Different genres are sourced and promoted to attract students’ interest in reading.
