Quality Output:

Using English outside the

classroom
Other than English work inside the
classroom, we also endeavour to provide
students with ample opportunity to engage
with and use English in a natural, extra-
curricular setting.

Independent
Learning

Independence in language learning is
very important, and this is something we
support from the very beginning of our
students’ school careers. We provide
independent learning opportunities for all
year groups, which can take a number of
forms. Newpapers, useful online videos
and other multimodal texts are brought
together to provide students with the tools
to explore and improve their English in a
way which interests them.

One Minute English

Based on the popular BBC program ‘Six Minute English’, our Native English Teacher (NET) broadcasts ‘Hong Kong News’ and ‘World
News’ to the school in easy-to-understand, one minute episodes. These also include questions, quizzes and even opportunities to win
prizes. This keeps students entertained, but also allows them to listen to natural spoken English and engage with the content with both
their classmates and Class Teacher. And who doesn’t love the opportunity to win prizes?
