English Language

Our aims are to provide every learner of a second language with further opportunities for extending their knowledge and experience of the culture of other people as well as opportunities for personal and intellectual development, further studies, pleasure, and work in the English medium; and 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.

※ School-based Phonics Curriculum

Integrate phonics chants, songs and stories into the English curriculum.  Reinforce the phonics skills through e-learning.

 

※ School-based E-readers

With the grants from the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR) and the EDB under the PEEGS, school-based E-Readers are purchased for each pupil.  E-Readers which cover different text types and include across curriuclum readers are taught in English lessons.  Pupils finish the assessment using the i-pads which give an immediate feedback for evaluation.  

 

※ School-based Teaching and Learning Materials

Provide each student a Notebook and a Self-Learning Booklet to learn independently; provide each student a set of English Worksheets to consolidate their learning; provide each student a Vocabulary and Song Book to build up their vocabulary bank and enjoy singing English chants or songs at school.

Every year, students’ good writing works are compiled in the Shek Wu Collection.

※ Our NET Teachers

Miss Emily
I’m the Native English Teacher at Shek Wu Hui Public School. I will be responsible for teaching P.1-P.3. I’m very much looking forward to meeting all of the students at the school.Hello, my name is Miss Emily. I’m from England.

I come from a family of teachers. My mum was a teacher and I always loved visiting her school when I was growing up and helping her in the classroom and my two older brothers are also teachers. I have always wanted to be a teacher and help students achieve their goals and reach their potential.

I have been living in Hong Kong for eight years now. I live in Sai Kung with my husband, two-year-old daughter and our two cats. At the weekend I love to go to the beach, go hiking and swimming.

My passion is to travel and see new places. I spent my summer travelling around South East Asia, trying different food and experiencing different cultures.

If you see me around school, please come and have a chat with me!

 

Miss Amy

Hello, my name is Miss Amy. I’m from South Africa. I became a teacher because I love people - especially little people. I come from a country where I have seen what lifechanging things good education can do and I want to be part of the reason somebody achieves the goals they have set out and their dreams they have in life. I want to ignite a passion in young learners for lifelong learning like my teachers have before me. I believe with the right education the world is your oyster. I have been living in Hong Kong for four years now. My husband and I have explored every inch of this gorgeous place from the tallest mountain to the furthest white sandy beaches and are taken aback by the uniqueness and extraordinary beauty.

 

Miss Heather

Hi! I’m Heather Watson from Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, a very scenic part of the west coast of Canada. I have a brother, a sister and a large extended family. Before Hong Kong, I taught primary school in Canada and English in South Korea, and worked in hospitality & tourism, at ski resorts in Banff and Whistler, and in Calgary during the ‘88 winter Olympics. I have also lived in Japan and travelled to more than twenty countries. My favourite countries so far include Iceland, Thailand, and New Zealand. I like baking, sewing, board games, going to festivals, and playing sports such as softball, tennis, skiing, hiking and scuba diving. I look forward to getting to know all of the students and staff here at Shek Wu Hui Public School.
