Penmanship

磨练英文书法

English Penmanship, like Chinese characters, is also a kind of calligraphy that required constant practice. The ancient art of calligraphy has a place in the modern world, as a kind of visual art that is related to writing. Students start practicing print calligraphy from Grade One and from Grade Three onwards, students will learn cursive writing.

书法教学的过程离不开观察、分析和书写，而英语和汉字一样，书法也是需要练习的。英文书法线条优雅流畅，妙笔生花，同样是一门古老艺术。我校学生从一年级开始就练习英文书法棍棒体（print)，三年级开始会学习连笔、草体（cursive），从小训练学生的书写能力。

Hong Kong Young Writer Award

香港青年作家大赛  努力挑战自我

Among all those competitions, the Hong Kong Young Writers Award (HKYWA) sponsored by a world-renowned sponsoring group, includes both the English writing and cover art competition. Participants of this prestigious competition include well-known international schools in Hong Kong, such as Chinese International School, Harrow International School, King George V International School and Hong Kong American International School.

Choral Speaking

英文朗诵

In order to improve students' self-confidence and broaden their horizons, our school provides different opportunities for students to practise their performance and language skills. Choral speaking is the art of using chorus voices to produce a piece of poetry or prose. Through the choral speaking workshops, students can learn the articulation and public speaking skills. Students can express themselves not just through words, but also through facial expressions and body language. Choral speaking also encourages a knowledge and appreciation of English literature within a poetry and prose context. Not only does choral speaking provide essential learning of English vocabulary and structures, it also allows students to learn English as a group where pressure on individuals to perfect English speaking can be eliminated.

学校每年举办不同形式的朗诵活动，提高学生自信，开阔视野，尽展所长。朗诵是一项将文学作品转化为有声语言的艺术，透过英文朗诵训练，学生可以学习朗诵技巧，如咬字吐音、声线运用、动作及表情的演绎等，而透过不同的诵材，能接触不同的文学风格，进一步培养学生对文学艺术的爱好。学习英文朗诵不但能让学生多接触英语生词和句子结构，而且还使学生能以集体的方式学习英语，从而消除个人单独以英语表达的压力。

Regents Drama Team

英语话剧

The English Drama Team is an outstanding school team in our school. Team members are cautiously selected and are trained by professional English teachers.
Our drama training involves acting and dialoguing which are great ways to enhance students’ performing skills and language skills. During the weekly rehearsals, students are taught some of dramatic explorative strategies (such as narration, role-play and cross-cutting) and link them further to various mediums of drama (such as script, movement, voice and use of props). Students are trained to express themselves not only by words, but also through their facial expressions and body language. At the end of every semester, students will participate in a stage show. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to have the live experience performing on the stage.

英文话剧班是学校精心选拔的一支校队，并由专业英文老师培训教授。戏剧教学的目的在于透过戏剧演绎，提升学生英文表达能力，学生以不同的表达技巧（如叙述、角色扮演和在穿越）去演绎故事内容（包括演绎剧本、动作、声音模仿和使用道具）。学习舞台表演技巧，不但能提升学生的英文表达能力，更能帮助他们用表情和身体语言表达自我。学校每学期都会提供学生舞台表演机会，这是一个非常宝贵的机会，让学生在舞台上展现自己的语言和表演才能。

‘Drama is such a fantastic way to allow students to learn vital communication skills, improvisational skills and quick thinking. I’ve been involved in youth theatre programs for 15 years, both as a performer and as a teacher. I studied Film and Theatre at The University of Reading, so it’s not an understatement to say that drama and theatre has been a huge part of my life, and I have a passion to share the skills and benefits of practising drama to as many young minds as I can.’
“戏剧是一种能让学生学习沟通技巧、即兴技巧和快速思考的方法。我在雷丁大学修读电影和戏剧，所以戏剧在我生活中占据著很重要的位置。作为一名演员和一名教师，我已经参与儿童戏剧节目15年了。我希望把戏剧的技能及我对戏剧的热情，能传授给更多学生。”
