In order to improve our students' English, we

• motivate students to read

There is no denying that the lingual atmosphere is very important for students to acquire the language. Developing a creative and comfortable environment, we can provide students opportunities to interact with others and stimulate their interests in learning English as well. We believe that students can be the self-motived learners soon.

In order to arouse students' interest in reading, we have set up an English Corner for years. We provide different kinds of books for students. Therefore, students can read the books that they are interested. What's more, we play the animated cartoons and some educational videos to students. Students find it fun in learning English and broaden their horizon by reading gradually.

We encourage students to help those who are weak at English and share what they have learned in these classes.

• broaden learning horizon and cultivating positive learning atmosphere

Learning a language without linking to its culture is as dull as looking at an artificial flower. Therefore, incorporating festivals into language learning classroom is able to create learning environment in which students can learn languages in an interesting way. Our school organizes different festival-themed English teaching activities which respond to western festivals such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and Halloween and so on. We hope that our students will learn English not only as a language but also as a culture. In this way, they will know how to respect the different cultures.

Besides the regular teaching activities, our school holds different kinds of competitions, such as Singing Competition, Dictionary Consulting Competition, Penmanship Competition and so on. English Day and Sharing days give students more opportunities to show their English talents. The students can show their desires for English and enhance their English abilities.
