Inspiring Students to Achieve High

English Builder is adopted because it provides content with international and global perspectives, such as National Geographic Channel, BBC News or knowledge related to liberal studies, which help the students a lot.

Mrs. To motivates all English teachers to work together to maximise the learning benefits for the students through implementing 100% completion of all English Builder lessons as assignments. Teachers constantly encourage and remind students to do the lessons.

The school also opens the Multi Media Language Centre (MMLC) for students to catch up with lessons whenever they need.

Mrs. To explains to parents the benefits of using English Builder for improving English and for their children’s development. Parents understand that there will be remarks written on their children’s report cards for missing assignments.

This combination of effort between Parents and Teachers helped push the few who were less willing to complete their homework to do so.

Verma Rohit Kumar, a F.3 student and 1st Runner-up of Hong-Kong Wide Rankings, expresses the enjoyment he has found while doing English Builder. He particularly enjoyed the lessons about the Bermuda Triangle and Indiana Jones. He acquired common knowledge and raised his awareness of social issues from English Builder lessons.

Even though Rohit does not have to do assignments this year, he requested to do so for his learning and benefit.
