Introduction of Subject
- Our Chinese Language Education is student-oriented. We provide multi-composite learning activities to the students, to magnify the exchange of different cultures amongst the diverse nationalities of the students in the school.
- In recent years, through working with The University of Hong Kong in adjusting curriculum and preparing lessons under the “Language Support Program”, students have benefited from different approach to teaching and their interest in learning has improved. Our school also puts significant efforts in promoting reading which helps develop students’ regular reading habit.
- Since September, 2012, our school has set up a school-based curriculum for P.1-P.3 Non-Chinese students and worked with Pearson to set up a school-based curriculum in P.4-P.6. to cater for learning differences.
- Our school has set up a learning platform “The Language Corner” to encourage students to involve actively in interesting activities to raise their self-learning ability and interest to learn Chinese language. Students are also encouraged to speak Cantonese on “Chinese Day” (every Tuesday) to enhance their communication skill.
- Students are encouraged to participate in different writing, calligraphy and speech competitions to boost their confidence in language learning and become an all-rounded language learner.
