This summer, our S1 students attended a three-day intensive Summer English Experience. In order to help our newly enrolled S1 students adapt to the English learning environment, we invited a group of highly experienced and enthusiastic native English-speaking instructors to enlighten our S1 students the way to learn and have fun in an English classroom.

In six groups, students not only gained more English vocabulary, but also explored the use of English as the everyday classroom language and started to make use of English for academic studies in subjects like Mathematics and Life & Society, through interactive learning tasks and games. With the guidance from the instructors, the Experience days were successfully completed with laughter and joy.

”In August, I participated in the Summer English Experience. Before the Summer English Experience started, I felt anxious since I was worried I wouldn’t understand what the teacher said. Although I was nervous, I tried to answer the questions anyway. After the summer English class started, I thought the teacher was actually very nice. She taught me a lot of English vocabulary. When I didn’t understand some words, she explained them to me patiently. She taught me some Maths terms in English too since most classmates learned Maths in Chinese in primary school. I also made some friends in the class. In the Summer English Experience, I felt over the moon because I learnt a lot. Finally, I want to thank the teachers for teaching me so much.“

“In the summer holiday, I joined the secondary one English bridging course. At first, I felt a bit nervous because I am very unfamiliar with this secondary school.

During the course, I found that the teacher who taught us was very funny and kind. Also, she played a lot of fun English games with us. The English bridging course was a memorable experience. It helped me learn a lot of English knowledge and I look forward to learning more about English at True Light!“
