English Department

Our Mission is:

English Opportunities during the Regular School Day:
-
Students are able to learn English in regular English classes and through the school English curriculum which is especially written for our students. There are also drama lessons and reading classes. The reading classes are for S1 and S2 students and are taught in small groups where students can use English to interact with each other. These students are assessed at the beginning of the school year so that they are reading at an appropriate level. Another opportunity is that once a week, the Morning Prayer is done in English with students participating.
-
Extra-curricular activities and courses are offered to give additional opportunities to our students to practice their English. The following activities are available.
English Fun Day – A day when the hall is full of English games and activities
The Debating Team
English Ambassadors – Students who promote English in the school
Writing Courses for the advanced students

-
The Presence of Native English Speaker.
-
Our school has a NET teacher who teaches regular classes.
-
Concordia Lutheran School is affiliated with the Lutheran Church – Hong Kong Synod. The result of this is that we have the opportunity to have English speaking missionaries in our school on a regular basis.
-
In addition, once a year a team of missionaries come to Concordia Lutheran from the U.S.A. to run the International Interface Programme, with our school teachers for approximately one week. Having these extra people on campus gives the students more people with whom to be able to speak in English.
-
Concordia sends a group of students to the United States every other year during the summer for ten days. The students must speak in English and get to experience the different culture, foods and sites.
