This academic year, the Junior High School (JHS) academic coordinator, in collaboration with the Foreign English Teacher (FET), has developed a plan to integrate English with the Arts for grades 7 through 9. Each month will feature a different theme designed to enhance students' interest in learning English, assess their comprehension, expand their vocabulary, and, most importantly, encourage them to engage in speaking and learning the language. The teachers are committed to ensuring students achieve desirable outcomes after each monthly lesson. 

In the series of pictures and videos below, you can see some of our typical classroom activities: students listening as the teacher reads the text aloud, unlocking new vocabulary, and the local teacher assisting by translating or checking students' understanding, often by asking them to explain the meaning in Chinese. We also pair high-achieving students with those who need more support to practice dialogues together. When working on group conversations, we ensure the groups are balanced to promote equal participation. Additionally, we continue to practice note-taking, where students are required to write down key details, unfamiliar words, and include Chinese translations or example sentences to help reinforce their learning.
