教學模式(重啟發? 教授?)

sampapa

All Quiz & Exam are very easy compare with most traditional school.
I never see my kid to review.
He pay attention in class teaching, so far his result is good.
SMC is less pressure & workload school for kids & parent.
But language subject is more intensive.
Pay more time in this subject.

Hi sampapa,
May I ask you more? What do you mean by language subject? English/Chinese or the foreign language subjects?
What about the reading atmostphere in SMC 請問前輩，SMC的閱讀氣氛如何呢？Thank you !

sampapa

Most kids have good or very good standard in English, most of p1 or p2 kids passed flyer or ket with good result.
Only the chinese is weak subject compare with other.
Pay more attention in chinese.
The 3rd language is interesting subject, it is not difficult.
SMC的閱讀氣氛 is very good.

Miss_N

so P1 or P2 kids join the flyer or KET exam in what kind of situation? say 1. join the exam by themselves outside of school or 2. nominated by SMC after they take lessons for a period of time in SMC?

sampapa

SMC is provided good enviroment for language learning and not hard sell or push kid to learn language.
No any kid is nominated for exam.
No any course or training for exam.
The exam is requested by parent or kid only.
School is not requested any exam on it.
Do not suprise exam result, most EMI school are using english as basic langauge in school for whole period.
Usually, english standard is 1 or 2 level up then non-EMI school.
Only 3 subjects are not english, it is Life Edu (use mother language of kid), Chinese (use PTH) & third language.
they use english as communication in whole day.
No any text book purchased for teaching, just using school worksheet in whole year.
my kid is watching movie or program without sub-title bar and translate to me.
If you wanted to suprise, i told u some kg kid in K3 is passed flyer, some P3 with grade 5 in music, p4 kid have black belt in kung fu & FCE with merit.
all of this kid are my friend's kid in different school, they study in inter'l school & dss.

Thank you for your advice.

But the teachers are tallking to the students in English, right?

sampapa

all teacher are talking in english in class or rest.
but language subject can speak in other than english, eg chinese teacher can say PTH. or 3rd language can say japanese, spanish ....
I questioned my kid how to understand when first or second month in P1 stage.
Now, my son can understand 90% or more, but can not write all in word.
Same as us, we can understand & listen many chinese word, but can not write it.

I talked to Japanese coordinator (they don't call her teacher) last month at wonderful language day. She mention Japanese subject only teach Romaji and they don't need to learn Hiragana (japanese character). I was so surprised. During P1-P2, student only test by writing Romaji and need to know simple conversation will be fine.

Therefore, I guess other language subjects are the same.

Hi Miss N,

You think the standard of their third language is too easy ?

Hi Miss N,

You think the standard of their third language is too easy ?

For P.1 and P.2, the students just have a taste of what the language looks like, 1 language per term.  Starting from P.3 onward the foreign language lessons are more serious and will prepare them for public exam in early secondary.  I don't think that's easy.

It's more like arousing their interest in P.1 and P.2, and prepare them to dive in starting P.3

I had compared the language policy between TSL and SMC before.

For TSL, Japanese & French only, and the P6 student (in Chinese stream) can speak simple French,such as ordering food in French restaurant, and simple Japanese conversation.

For SMC, trial of 4 Language and going in depth in one particular language in P3 and secondary session. Seems more serious as to language. I think they have to consider about some non-Chinese student that they all union basic learning of language by English. Actually, German, Spanish and French words are based on English letters, except Jananese, its rare to use Romaji (English) in beginner level.
Anyway it's good and fair for kids In test or exam, disregarding their races.

各位同校家長你們好！我仔今年升小三了，但我開始憂慮他升上小三後的英文程度。過去兩年喺學校的學習生活，真的感受到學校提供了很多多元化的課程，不論學術上或課外活動上，也比其他學校優勝。但也有另一個問題困擾着我，就是總覺得英文課教的文法，比起其他津校落後（個人感覺）。相比起我朋友的仔女，他們在小一或小二上學期已學了simple present tense and present continuous tense, 但我揭完亞仔這兩年的英文課本，也找不到有學這兩種時式的內容。而我也有在坊間買一些小二文法練習給他做，他好像不太懂得在verb 後要加s, es, 轉ies等等。
請問同校的家長們，你們的小朋友怎樣學習文法呢？
謝謝！

No la, 我個女讀津小，津校太著重grammar, 而香港既學生英文詞彙好弱（一個曾教過中小學的native English teacher同我講既）英文會話都好弱。佢地NET教學方式主要係聽講，都吾prefer 去教grammar, 因為小朋友既英語程度去返咁上下時，佢地自然會明白英文grammar 有一個特定既rule.

例如：津校英中面試，有幸兩間區內英中都有分去interview. 當group discussion 時（用英文），已經好明顯會話能力有幾大既分別。

Ageed. Too concentrated on grammar is not good for the kids. Building up the phrases or vocaburay and use of English in daily life, speaking, will be more effective to learn English. My son's school is not emphasized in the grammar, but more in writing and journals, reading and speaking. I realized my son has learnt the basic "grammar rule" during the daily school life and homeworks without even knowing he unconsciously learnt the rules.
