Whole-school Language Policy:
Our language policy places students’ learning effectiveness as our major concern. We firmly believe that the mother language is the best medium for learning, eliminating all of the learning difficulties and obstacles caused by the use of second language, thereby enhancing students’ learning motivation and interest. At the same time, we also attach great importance to the requirement of "biliteracy and trilingualism" for students. We incorporate drama, movies, and reading into the English curriculum. Specific English terms are taught in various subjects to expand students' vocabulary list. To build up an English-rich environment, reading across curriculum, and English weeks, etc. are implemented to provide opportunities for students to further improve their English proficiency. We have reading classes every day, and implement the Chinese and English Extensive Reading Award Scheme, Online Reading Award Scheme, Putonghua Recitation Competition, Inter-community Debate Competition, School Magazine, Campus TV student reporters scheme and much more to improve students’ all round 'biliterate and trilingual' ability.

We teach with "small steps, quick feedback, more encouragement and appreciation". Students can easily understand and master skills so as to build up their confidence in learning and self-efficacy, and thereby enhancing their motivation and interest in learning. To further develop students to be active learners with life-long learning skills, we implement student-centred learning strategies. By training students to take notes in class and organize concepts, we equip students with self-learning skills. We also strive to develop students' self-learning ability by introducing Flipped Learning, with various pre-lesson study tasks and post-lesson assessment activities.
