I think that the Chinese teachers will be laughing their heads off if the playground language in ESF can be 80% PTH, it means that they are doing a miraculous job. It's their dream come true!
Many of the non Chinese students knew little or nothing about PTH before they entered ESF.
If you have read my post carefully, you would have noticed that I said "大多pathway 3的學生家里是說普通話"but not in other pathways. Usually only the top 1/4 of all students can manage to get into pathway 3.
Schools cannot control the language mixture in the playground for sure. How can they do so, especially when they have such a big difference in Chinese proficiency among the 3 pathways? Pathway 3 students are native or near-native speakers while the pathway 1 student may be Brit fresh from the UK who does not know Chinese at all.
Do you think that the kids will be stupid enough to try to communicate with each other in PTH in this case?
English is definitely the dominant playground language even within the ethnic Chinese group. That's why the school has to promote usage of PTH in the playground, so kids who do not speak PTH otherwise have a chance to practice what they have learned. After all it's ESF, kids are most comfortable in English. Especially now they interview parents in the selection process, priority would definitely be given to kids from English speaking families. If parents (both, not just one) do not speak good English in the interview, kids may have minimal chance of getting in.
