Curriculum Details
Curriculum Planning
We design an integrated activity curriculum according to the Education Bureau’s “Preschool education Curriculum Guidelines” on curriculum development. The child-centered curriculum pursues a strategy of learning through play and covers a great variety of learning areas. It caters to children’s interest and development needs, and is designed to inspire their potentials and help them achieve balanced development in moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual aspects.
Bilingual classes focus on young children’s English reading, writing, listening, and oral expression abilities. Foreign teachers use diverse teaching methods to help children learn English naturally and joyfully. These methods include reading stories, playing games, engaging with music, physical activities, daily interactions, and teacher-student communication. The goal is to assist children in developing their English skills and preparing them for entry into primary school.
Listening Activities: Foreign English teachers guide young children through various activities, teaching them how to organize sentences and pronounce vocabulary correctly. This enhances students’ understanding of simple English words and grammar.
Speaking Activities: Foreign English teachers encourage children to engage in conversations using English. They create scenarios and use images to provide opportunities for oral practice, thereby building confidence in using the language.
Reading Activities: Foreign English teachers use stories to captivate young learners and enhance their reading abilities.
Writing Activities: Children are encouraged to describe picture content using English words and sentences, thereby improving their writing skills.
These activities aim to help children learn English naturally and joyfully, preparing them for a smooth transition to primary school.
