Aims
- To provide every learner of English as second language with opportunities for extending the knowledge and
experience of cultures of other people as well as opportunities for personal and intellectual development, further
studies, pleasure and work in the English speaking environment. - To enable every learner to prepare for the changing socio-economic demands resulting from advances in information technology; these demands include the interpretation, use and production of materials for pleasure, study and work in the English medium.
Focus
The English department at CSSHK is committed to cultivate a rich and enjoyable environment for students to
learn English. Thus, we have introduced a variety of thematic teaching programs to fulfill students’ English language
learning proficiency.Starting in 2010, we began the implementation of the Read Write Inc. Program in key stage one.
It is a synthetic phonics-based program that ensures early success in reading, writing, listening and speaking.
