KV - English Level

maymayho

My daughter will go to K1 at KV in the coming Sept, just want to ask the existing KV parents - (1) what do you think the English level your kids learned at school ? will KV teach phonics ?  
(2) do you need to find other English courses outside ?

Thanks a lot.

1) starts of slow and easy in K1, by K3 kids do listening comprehension, simple sentences, plurals, present tense, lots of songs and poems...but no phonetics

2) no additional external courses

咁係無外籍老師下, 你小朋友的accent又可以嗎?他們是否請些bbc或abc教英文呢? 你小朋友要不要參加外面的英語班補英文呢?

Accent is better then the average HKner, actually surprisingly good but not as good as native speaker.   The usual difficulties such as black /back; grass /glass.
