Academic English students have been exploring the theme of art and museum with topic-oriented vocabulary to cultivate their awareness of different subjects. With the aid of related documentaries alongside reading comprehension, disciplines enhance their English skills through listening and graphical cues, triggering enthusiasm and stimulating insights about the world. Furthermore, by examining IELTS Writing band descriptors, students better understand the criteria for written exams: task response, coherence and cohesion, lexical resources, and grammatical range and accuracy. In addition, through peer editing, pupils collectively learn from each other by strengthening attentiveness to common mistakes and identifying high-standard qualities to incorporate into individual written work.

與上學(xué)期重點(diǎn)置于練習(xí)閱讀和聽(tīng)力技能不同，本學(xué)期我們將重點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)向?qū)懽骱涂谡Z(yǔ)技能。學(xué)生們每周都會(huì)進(jìn)行聽(tīng)寫，練習(xí)關(guān)鍵詞的含義和拼寫。為了讓十一年級(jí)ESL學(xué)生為IGCSE期末考試做好準(zhǔn)備，英語(yǔ)組在學(xué)校的支持下組織了一次完整的模擬考試，幫助十一年級(jí)學(xué)生做好全身心的準(zhǔn)備。所有的英語(yǔ)教師都參加了考試委員會(huì)的培訓(xùn)課程，以便向?qū)W生提供關(guān)于期末考試的最新、最準(zhǔn)確的信息。

在第一學(xué)期針對(duì)性的聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀訓(xùn)練之后，十年級(jí)的ESL課程一直專注于寫作。學(xué)生們通過(guò)復(fù)習(xí)語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)和使用相關(guān)工作表進(jìn)行練習(xí)，鞏固了前三個(gè)單元的語(yǔ)法。同時(shí)，學(xué)生們還對(duì)前幾個(gè)單元的單詞進(jìn)行了聽(tīng)寫。為了提高學(xué)生的聽(tīng)力能力和對(duì)語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)的理解，ESL課程采用了這樣的方式：老師閱讀短文，學(xué)生根據(jù)所聽(tīng)到的內(nèi)容描繪成畫，然后全班討論介詞在該段中的作用。

As opposed to the last semester where the focuses were on practicing reading and listening skills, this semester we switch our gears to writing and speaking. Students have been worked on weekly dictation to practice on the meaning and spelling of keywords. In order to prepare Y11 ESL students for the IGCSE final Exam, the English Department in conjunction with the support from the school to organize a full mock exam to help the Y11 students get ready physically and mentally. All the English staff attended the exam board training sessions to deliver the most updated and accurate information about the final exam to students.

After targeted listening, speaking and reading in the first semester, the Y10 ESL lesson have been focusing on writing. Students have consolidated the grammar in the first three units by reviewing grammatical structure and practicing with relevant worksheets. In the meanwhile, students dictated on the words in the previous units. To improve students" listening ability and their understanding of grammar structure, ESL lessons adopted a way that teacher read a short paragraph, students drew a picture according to what they have heard, followed by class discussion about the role of prepositions in the paragraph.
