Speak Out ELCHK

Speak out (ELCHK) has linked up with families in a public housing estate in Chai Wan whose median monthly income is under HK$13,000. CIS students volunteer weekly on Saturday mornings either at the school, or virtually to improve the students' english speaking abilities, through games and structured lessons. Overall, the aim is to interact with underprivileged children to improve their confidence in speaking.

Our goal

Our goal for 2020-21 at Speak Out! ELCHK is to main regular, high quality lessons for the students even when in-person service is not possible. Moreover, we would like to diversify our teaching content, and implement more creative and effective lesson plans to improve the student's confidence in expressing themselves.
