我校師生一行12人遠赴美國洛杉磯進行十一天的文化交流活動,到了不少著名景點參觀,既體驗休閑優雅的南加州風情,亦參觀了蘋果總部現代化的設計,更在古色古香的校園中表演中國的音樂,參觀了Crescenta Valley High School,認識到美國社區的種族多元性。同學們特意挑選中國風濃厚的《青花瓷》一曲作表演,以二胡和結他相伴,同學們亦一同構思編曲,將美國著名流行曲《Happy》融入《青花瓷》之中,為美國的朋友帶來很大驚喜。另外,我們亦向美國朋友介紹傳統中國體育運動踢毽的玩法,並一起嘗試花式跳繩、水墨畫和紮染等,希望能讓美國朋友認識中國文化的不同面向,亦有助提升運用英語的自信。
English Language and Culture Study Tour to Exeter, UK
30 June and 15 July 2018
Between 30 June and 15 July 2018 thirty Ko Lui Secondary School students travelled to Exeter in the UK to study English at Globe Language School; and to stay in local home stay accommodation.
Exeter is a lovely, historical market town, famous for its beautiful cathedral and its close proximity to world heritage sites such as Stonehenge, Cheddar Gorge and many more. The students’ interesting and exciting programmes were quite full. It included a mix of English classes and project work, numerous excursions to places of historical interest and social activities with students from around the world.
The study tour aimed to stimulate students’ interest in English through exposure to the language in an authentic cultural milieu in a lively, attractive setting. It also aimed to foster personal development and independence. Participation in diverse, well organized and carefully planned activities, as well as interaction with the local English people and international students, gave KLSS students the opportunity to not only improve their English language skills, but also to increase their self-confidence and develop a broader global perspective and understanding.
