As part of the English Easter festive program, Egg-citement Egg-plorers, students took part in an Easter Chocolate Eggs English Making Class, in which they learnt about the symbol of the Easter eggs and read an English instruction manual on making chocolate eggs. Students displayed their unlimited creativity to decorate the eggs. It is a good opportunity for them to apply English and have great fun with their peers and teachers.

English Department collaborated with PE teachers to organize a tongue twister competition with the theme of sports. By practising tongue twisters, not only can students work on fluency, but also develop their sense of language through rhyming and rhythms. A leaderboard was set for students to challenge each other and even themselves; some students were eager to push their limits – from 6 seconds at the first attempt to 4 seconds at the second. Teachers loved to see students’ endeavours very much.

English teachers organized a Chinese New Year activity named ‘Snake through Ups and Downs’, hoping students to be like snakes, flexibly passing through different ups and downs in their daily lives. In the activity, not only did students revise the English words of the Chinese zodiac, but also learnt about onomatopoeia – how animal sounds can be represented by words. Some creative students even imitated the sounds, a good way to strengthen their memories and learn English.

Gen-Z Communication Studio Speaking Workshop

The English Department invites the HKFYG Leadership Institute to organize an English workshop with a theme of ‘Diverse Cultures Around the Globe’, which is promoted by Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR) of the Education Bureau and supported by the Language Fund. In the workshop, students interact with Cultural Ambassadors from different countries, getting to know and learn about their unique cultures and completing various English tasks. They are very responsive and take part in discussions actively.
