Our school’s Chinese language department believes that language learning can flourish at any time and in any space, allowing every student to develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills robustly. We design diverse language learning materials tailored to each grade level and frequently collaborate with local universities on projects, such as The University of Hong Kong's "Growth Easy LegO High-Performance Learning Community," The Education University of Hong Kong's "Multi-Text Reading of Classical Chinese," and the University of Hong Kong's "Enjoy Reading and Writing Chinese Courses for Primary Students." These initiatives optimize our school-based language curriculum, enhance the professional competence of our language teachers, and, more importantly, increase students' interest and proficiency in language learning.
Moreover, we understand that "you can't make bricks without straw." To enhance students' language proficiency, we must broaden their reading exposure. Thus, we implement "cross-curricular thematic reading" activities at all grade levels, such as fable story for Primary 3, idiom story videos for Primary 4, science CANVA poster design for Primary 5, and martial arts novel e-book creation for Primary 6.
Additionally, we are "Love and Treasure Chinese culture." Each year, we hold a Chinese Culture Week and Chinese Culture Day for our students, allowing them to experience the charm of Chinese culture through various sensory activities. They learn about folk arts and cultural traditions, such as paper-cutting, sugar painting, rope skipping, and playing Five in a Row. In particular, Primary 4 and Primary 5 students engage in hands-on experiences with dough sculpting and weaving grasshoppers, thus passing on Chinese cultural heritage.
In addition, we believe that learning can be integrated into games. Therefore, we organise Chinese Language booth activities during recess, using different aspects of language knowledge as themes, such as measure words, onomatopoeia, homophones and pictographs, so that students can learn Chinese language knowledge through interactive activities.
As the ancient saying goes, "Nurturing without a sound," we hope that students can find joy in language through various linguistic realms, allowing their love for language to bloom!
