At the same time, the school implements cross-curricular English language teaching by infusing elements of English learning into individual subjects to increase students' opportunities to learn English. Outside the classroom, the school creates a language environment through various activities to enhance students' language proficiency, such as organizing the Chinese Language and Culture Week cum Putonghua Day, English Festival, writing classes, participating in Chinese, English and Putonghua Speech Festivals, inviting students to host programs in English on the campus TV station, and encouraging students to participate in a variety of off-campus competitions such as storytelling contests, reading report contests, writing contests, etc., and providing students with the opportunity to apply for professional level exams. We also encourage students to participate in various off-campus competitions, such as storytelling competitions, reading report competitions, writing competitions, etc. We also offer professional examinations for students to broaden their horizons and explore their language potentials.
Tests and study adaptation measures:
The promotion of student learning is the underlying philosophy of assessment in the school. Ongoing assessments are conducted in all subjects to observe students' learning performance and to provide feedback to the teaching and learning process. Apart from teachers' assessment, students' self-assessment, mutual assessment and parents' assessment are also supplemented. In terms of summative assessment, there are two tests and two examinations throughout the year. In the middle of the school year, students are guided to formulate a behavioral review plan to encourage them to strive for improvement. Adaptive measures for tests and examinations are available in all major subjects to cater for the different abilities of students.
