At the same time, we have invested a lot of resources in the implementation of various modes of teaching with reference to the successful experiences of other places, with a view to enhancing students' English proficiency. In addition to increasing students' exposure to and use of English in the curriculum of various subjects in a gradual and step-by-step manner according to grade levels, the school implements small class teaching in junior secondary schools and creates a suitable language environment through after-school English enrichment courses, morning reading classes and reading programs, inter-school speech contests, English Learning Centre for Foreign Teachers and other English activities, etc., so as to enhance the English language proficiency of students.
Tests and study adaptation measures:
The program is both summative and progressive, with the former including two stages of academic assessment, and the latter including regular tests, classroom work, and classroom performance.
