Overall Aims of the English Language Education Curriculum

Subject target

The Subject Target of English is for learners to develop an ever-improving capability to use English:

• to think and communicate;
• to acquire, develop and apply knowledge;
• to respond and give expression to experience;

and within these contexts, to develop and apply an ever-increasing understanding of how language is organized, used and learned.

Curriculum features

• The Space Town Literacy Programme is carried out in P.1 and P.2. This programme provides students with the opportunity to develop the ability to transfer their knowledge to new situations. In this programme, students can learn communicative language and experience real-life situations in the classroom.
• 3 to P.6 students have one to two lessons with ELTAs every week. The lessons are conducted in an interactive and fun way so that students can practise their speaking and communication in English with native English speakers.
• E-learning is promoted in Key Stage 2 (P.4 to P.6) to facilitate self-learning and enhance teaching and learning effectiveness.
• Musical is implemented in P.4 English curriculum. Through performing on stage, students can build self-confidence and improve speaking skills.
• English activities such as Treasure Hunt and Online Exchange Programme with Singaporean students are held to increase students’ exposure to English beyond the textbook contents and help them learn English in a fun way.

Foci of Subject Development in 2022-2023

• BYOD scheme will be implemented in Primary 4 and Primary 5. The scheme aims to enhance students’ interaction and participation in lessons. With the help of technology, teachers design diversified extended learning activities and materials to suit students’ learning needs and increase their learning interests. In addition, teachers can understand students’ learning progress easily and provide help to students.
• Learning materials and curriculum will be modified in order to facilitate the assessment literacy through joining QSIP organised by CUHK. Teachers will be able to analyse students’ performance better, so that more appropriate teaching strategies can be provided in lessons to closely suit students’ learning needs.
