Curriculum
 
Reading Programme
For P.1 to P.6 pupils, pupils read English books and build up the linguistic awareness and master the language input by keeping the reading records on their reading log. For P.1and P.2, pupils enjoy the PLPR scheme – Primary literacy Programme Reading. They experience guided reading with the school native English teacher in the English room once a week.
 
Phonics Programme ( P.1 - P.4 )
The school-based Phonics Programme aims to help pupils acquire the Phonics skills to read out words or texts. The pupils do not need to purchase any text books as the syllabus is tailor-made for the students by the teachers. Children enjoy learning phonics in school as they have been provided good chances to read out aloud.
 
 
Ability Grouping
Pupils are grouped according to their English abilities. On the one hand, the core curriculum is adopted for all pupils. On the other hand, there is the existence of curriculum adaptation in order to cater for the learning differences of pupils. Moreover, the numbers of pupils are descending from different groups. In doing so, those pupils who have more learning difficulties can get greater support from their English teachers.
 
Drama In Education
In drama lessons, pupils use English for pleasurable experiences to real and imaginative situations. It helps to develop pupils' language and cultural awareness through drama. Accordingly, drama in education not only develops pupils' overall skills in preparing and performing the play, but also helps them grow in self-confidence.
 
E-learning
Through WELNET scheme, pupils are provided with lots of E-learning resources. Pupils from P.1 to P.6 have a lesson in the computer room once a week. Teachers help pupils access the school-based educated resources during the lessons. Pupils also do online homework as well as other language activities with or without teachers' support. As a result, pupils have chances to develop self-learning attitude and habit in and beyond the classrooms.
 
Lunch Reading
Reading is one of the essential elements to effective learning and a way which students can discover their interests in particular topics.  Thursdays are designated as our school's English book reading day, where students choose an English book of their interest to read during lunch time, a measure to enrich and develop students reading habits and interests in the language.
