The English Department comprises a team of vibrant teachers with diversified backgrounds, experiences and expertise. However, we have the same goal - engage our students in English learning.
We fully understand our students may not be confident in using the language. That’s why we adopt a theme-based approach in S.1 - 5 curriculum, where students’ output is closely aligned with their input. Reading and listening materials are interlinked with their writing and speaking products. To better prepare our DSErs for the public exam, our team is also committed to carrying out curriculum mapping for S.6 students. By doing so, students receive sufficient scaffolding from well-selected resources prior to attempting the past paper questions.
The Language Arts curriculum is also worth-mentioning. Our two NETs are responsible for this school-based curriculum. S.1, 2 and 4 students are given ample opportunities to expose themselves to authentic English from manifold aspects including poem, song, reader theatre, play, story and culture, etc.
In our mind, every single student at Kei Heep is a unique individual with very different needs. In addition to the streaming measures which have been carried out for years to put students with similar abilities into the same group, to further cater for the diversity, an array of enhancement and remedial programmes from our local teachers, NETs, external tutors and organisations is offered.
Our newly-renovated English cafe is a platform for students to unwind, chit chatting with the teachers and friends, having a sip of coffee, playing board games or even turning the venue into a mini kitchen making some snacks. We hope to deliver a message - “Learning English can be fun!” to our beloved students.
We firmly believe that a combination of school-based curriculum, improving teaching pedagogies, tailor-made teaching materials, supportive school policies as well as entertaining activities enables students in Kei Heep to successfully achieve one of the seven learning goals set by EDB - becoming proficient in biliterate and trilingual communication for better study and life.
