English Society |
| |
The English Society provides the opportunity for more able students to work in groups, collaborate with others and critically analyze information. |
| |
| To add another level of interactive learning through the English Society, teachers have designed challenging tasks that involve students working as a group with each individual taking on a different role. |
|
| |
The emphasis is placed on giving these students another outlet to express themselves creatively and collaboratively in English, as well as providing them with an additional layer of challenge to further stimulate and hone their English skills. |
| |
Target Levels: Primary Three to Four |
| |
|
|
| |

English Ambassadors |
| |
|
| |
| KTS has English Ambassadors who talk to the younger students while they are taking part in the activities during lunchtime. |
| The English Ambassadors are chosen from Primary Four to Six and their main role is to encourage and motivate their schoolmates to learn and enjoy English through fun activities, especially on Language Days. |
| This has the effect of building up our students' self-confidence and giving them the opportunities and tools to achieve a higher level of competence in English. |

English Leader Buddy Scheme |
| |
|
| |
| Each Primary Three Captain English is paired up with an English Ambassador who will be their buddy throughout the year. Each Captain English will shadow their English Ambassador buddy on English Language Days, helping them to manage the activities and award English Passport stamps to their schoolmates. This gives the Primary Three Captain English valuable exposure to student leadership and an opportunity to learn closely from an older role model. |
