Third Language

To allow students to experience foreign language and culture, Third Language Curriculum is an emphasis of our school. G.T. College Primary Section offers French and Spanish to G5 and G6 students. In addition, French, Spanish, Japanese and Korean are offered in Talent Classes to all G4 to G6 students as well.

Joy in Learning

The school curriculum, teaching materials and activities are all fun-oriented, and adopt a game-based approach.

Cultural Response

Our program allows students to understand the culture of the target language and their own, build cross-cultural competence and shape students to become cultural mediators.

Learning through meanings

Our curriculum and teaching materials are authentic and related to the real social environment and contexts.

Foster self-directed learning

The method of experiential learning allows students to experience continuously and emphasizes the relationship between language and real-life situation, thereby encouraging them to become autonomous learners.

Our school offers a wide range of Third Language activities for students to participate in.

In December 2021 and 2022, our students sang French and Spanish carols together with the whole school. Students in French and Spanish Talent Classes had the opportunity to practice French and Spanish Christmas and New Year tradition as well.

At Talent Classes and Gifted Classes, students were able to explore different aspects of French and Spanish culture. In February 2022, students of Spanish Talent Class and students of French Talent Class went onto the big screen and participated in the production of two clips for promotion of Spanish and French language respectively. Not only did they gain knowledge over the language, they also gained cultural knowledge.

中國歷史及文化科

為了提升學生的國民身分認同,優才書院一直設中國歷史及文化科,從四年級開始,每星期會有一節中史課,讓學生從自編的校本教材學習中國歷史及文化。

優才書院一直認為中史科是重要的,是必須的,是迫切的,歷史教育有其不可取代之處。每個國家和民族均需「知興替,明得失」的人才,歷史不但能訓練學生的批判思考,還能啟迪智慧。

我們教導學生客觀對待歷史,引導他們了解不同時代的特點和制度,使他們評鑑歷史人物時,不再單純把人物分為好人、壞人、君子、小人,讓他們慢慢明白歷史人物的每一個決定,都跟其身處的時代有密不可分的關係,讓學生因歷史對自己的祖先有情,找回自己的根,這就是我們的歷史教育。

中國語文

中文科著重學生全面發展,一直以提升學生聽、說、讀、寫能力為目標,通過多元化的學習活動,提升學習興趣及成效。

中文科致力發展校本教材,因應學生的學習階段及需要,設計適切的練習。《中文加油站》及《語文知識補充練習》,加強學生對課文的理解。《專用教材》,進一步豐富讀文以外的知識,如寫字筆順、成語、詩詞等。寫作方面,課程按部就班,循序漸進,從造句、隨筆開始,打穩根基;三至六年級有《創意寫作教材》,鼓勵學生發揮創意;升中銜接課程有《古文選讀》,讓六年級學生提早認識文言文。

學校重視幼小銜接,設有校本《小一銜接課程》,讓學生鞏固已有知識,循序漸進學習。而《聆聽練習冊》及《說話練習冊》,讓學生在初小階段培養良好的聆聽及說語能力。

中文科會安排多元化的早會及活動,讓學生認識傳統習俗;學校也會邀請團體到校表演、舉辦親子活動等。此外,我們鼓勵學生參與校外比賽,開闊眼界,發揮所長,同學們表現傑出,屢獲殊榮。

English

Our school-based G.T. English curriculum tailor-makes an exciting and entertaining learning experience for students, that inspires and motivates them to learn English.

Starting in grade one, students begin with the building blocks of developing phonetic awareness and English-speaking skills. Scholastic Phonics Tales, paired with our G.T. English books, stimulate, and encourage our students to learn in a fun and relaxed manner.

In grade two, we move on from vowels to learn about consonant blends, digraphs, and diphthongs. By the end of their second year at G.T., students will be well equipped to identify sounds in words that they encounter in books that they read; thus helping them develop stronger overall English language skills in reading, writing, and speaking.

In addition to learning phonics, in grades one, two, and three, the G.T. English curriculum also focuses on and develops essential reading and writing skills. We understand that from an early age, writing is a process, and expecting perfection from our students is not a productive approach. Rather, we aim to inspire and motivate our students to take risks and make mistakes, which help them develop and grow into stronger learners.

Once our students reach grade three, they are better suited to understanding the skills they will be exposed to in upper primary. This is why we have developed a “language arts” book, which introduces them to the concepts and ideas that they will face as they get older. It also acts as a bridge between lower and upper primary G.T. English. The grade three G.T. English book covers poetry, literature, and drama – all things that they will encounter in grades four to six.

Starting in grade four, students move on to a new textbook called the Daybook, and the G.T. English books become the Guiding Notes. Good writers are almost always extensive readers. The Guiding Notes books in upper primary cycle between reading great pieces of literature, followed by the application of skills learnt, which are then produced in students’ own writing. Through our study of high-quality children’s literature, we come to understand the techniques and literary devices used by accomplished writers and begin to apply them within their own writing.

With our students’ confidence and fluency in using English language on stage, they achieve excellent results in the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival and Drama Festival every year.
