Please introduce the Primary EAL Programme
请介绍小学部EAL课程
In the Primary Learning Communities there are a number of specialist EAL teachers. We teach lesson content alongside the co-teachers, but with particular focus on language acquisition. To do this we work closely with small groups of students to enable them to access the curriculum fully.
在小学部学习社区,有许多专业的EAL教师。我校课程由中英文合作教师联合教授,特别注重孩子的语言学习。为此,我们给学生分组,进行密切合作,使他们能够完全跟上课程。
What are the benefits to this approach?

Keeping all language levels together in the Learning Community means that no student is left behind. They cover the curriculum together and move through topics as one group.
在学习社区中保持所有语言水平的学生共同进步意味着不会让任何学生落后于进度。这将贯穿课程始终。
Students also benefit from peer-to-peer support. They learn from their peers with higher English levels in a natural, friendly setting.
学生也可以从相互间的支持中受益。他们可以在自然友好的环境中向英语水平较高的同龄人学习。
