AIC是一所以英语为核心教学语言的学校。我们的英语系采用多种教学法，有助于提高学生的必要语言技能。IGCSE英语作为第一语言课程举办了一场画廊展览演讲，不仅庆祝了第一单元的结束，而且评估学生的学习情况。本单元结束庆祝活动让学生有机会使用课堂上学到的演示和演讲技能，并建立他们在公开英语演讲中的信心。对口语的信心会产生多米诺骨牌效应，从而使阅读、写作和听力等语言技能同时发挥作用。因此，学生将不断面临提高英语水平的挑战，并将自信地用英语读、写、听和说。

AIC is a school that uses and emphasizes English as our core language of instruction. Our English Department uses multiple pedagogies that will help improve the necessary language skill sets in students. The IGCSE English as First Language class held a Gallery Exhibition Presentation to not only celebrate the end of Unit 1 but to assess the students’ learning.  This end of unit celebration gives students a chance to use the presentation and speaking skills they have learned in class as well as to build their confidence in speaking publicly in English. The confidence in speaking will have a domino effect whereby the attending language skills like reading, writing and listening will improve simultaneously. As such, students will be constantly challenged to improve their English language and will confidently reading, write, listen and speak in English.

本次画廊展览演讲是一次性能总结性评估，是IB和IGCSE推广的教学方法的重要组成部分。学生在具体的实践中获得学习技能，例如: 学生们首先选择一个城市, 以设计、绘画等方式, 学习如何展示与辩论他们获得该城市的具体信息。在《英语作为第一语言教学大纲》的第一单元中，主题是旅行，语言技能是阅读主要思想以及学习撰写有效段落。课堂上所做的活动侧重于阅读和写作技能，通过这些技能，我们讨论、辩论和写作了人们为什么旅行以及谁是著名的旅行者。作为一名教师，Yoke Lin将这四种语言技能融入教学中，作为单元结束，学生们设计了海报并庆祝本单元的结束。这里的关键是为学生创造机会，展示和使用他们所学的语言技能，向观众有说服力地介绍为什么他们应该参观他们选择的城市。 

This Gallery Exhibition Presentation is a Performance Summative Assessment which is an important part of the approaches to teaching and learning promoted by the IB and IGCSE. The students learn by doing - i.e. they were given specific information where they design, draw and learn how to present and argue for the cities of their choice. In Unit 1 of the English as First Language Syllabus, the theme is Travel and the language skills are reading for main ideas as well as learning to write effective paragraphs. The activities done in class focus on the reading and writing skills whereby we discussed, argued and wrote about why people travel and who were the famous travelers. As the teacher, I have embedded the 4 language skills into the teaching and as an end, the students designed the posters and to celebrate the end of the unit. The key here is to create opportunities for students to display and use the language skills they have learned to present persuasively to audiences why they should visit the cities of their choice.
