Content and Language Mastery

Students will learn to edit writing for grammatical accuracy and clarity to avoid loss of marks, and enhance their expressions to suit the Purpose, Audience, Context and Tone of the written task.

Comprehension, summary and critical thinking passages cover a wide range of topics and current affairs to help students develop a global perspective and build a repository of evidence for essay writing. These topics fall under the following themes:

• Society
• Technology
• Environment
• Arts
• Media

Weekly practices are closely modelled after the rigour and standard of the national examinations, which will prepare O and IP students for the revised O Level Exam for English (starting 2023) and revised A Level Exam for General Paper (starting 2024) respectively.

Improve grammar knowledge and skills with grammar drills, editing and sentence reconstruction exercises. Learn to edit writing for grammatical accuracy and clarity to avoid loss of marks.

Skills and Techniques

Students will refine their critical reading and writing skills through weekly lessons.

They will master the following:

• Building writing skills by learning how to fine-tune language using signposting and hedging
• Honing summary writing skills by learning how to paraphrase effectively and organise responses to match question requirements
• Enhancing comprehension skills through error analysis and answer precision, and learning to construct responses in a clear and logical manner
• Learning how to apply critical reasoning skills to evaluate information, recommendations and lines of reasoning presented in written and visual texts

Revision and Reinforcement

Students will be trained in techniques and skills to help them excel in their examinable components.

Our Secondary 4 programme helps students:
