Our Language Support System｜破浪前行：爱莎科学城如何为每个孩子铺就通往IB成功的语言之路

Designed for English beginners in Grades 6-8, the IEP serves as an "academic starting line" with 13 immersive weekly sessions that go beyond conventional language courses. Unlike typical English tutoring, IEP integrates vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing into cohesive instruction. 

专为6-8年级英语初学者设计的“学术起跑线”，每周13课时的沉浸式学习远超传统语言课程。不同于普通的英语补习，IEP将英语词汇、语法、听、说、读、写等英语语言技能融入教学。

去年参与该项目的学生 Donny Sun分享：

Utilizing a unique Band A-E 10-level assessment framework, the AEP conducts comprehensive diagnostics of students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, targeting advancement in academic English. This structure ensures every student progresses within their optimal "challenge zone."

采用独特的Band A-E十分级评估体系，对学生的听、说、读、写能力进行全方位诊断，锁定学术英语的精准突破。这种设计确保每个学生都能在最适合自己的“挑战区”成长。

Our most innovative initiative, the "ELS Push-In Support" system, features language and subject teachers co-teaching in mainstream science and humanities classes. This model preserves the integrity of subject content while addressing language barriers in specialized disciplines.

最具创新性的是我们的“ELS推送支持系统”。语言教师与学科教师协同教学，在常规科学、人文课堂中提供即时语言支持。这种模式既保证了学科内容的完整性，又解决了学生在专业领域的语言障碍。

Each program establishes clear "graduation criteria," enabling students to smoothly transition to higher levels upon passing systematic assessments. 

每个项目都设有明确的“毕业标准”，学生通过系统评估后即可平稳过渡到更高阶段。

"We are not merely teaching English — we are building academic capacity," emphasizes the Head of World Languages. "True language mastery is evident when students can accurately describe scientific phenomena in English or engage in humanities debates."

“我们不做简单的英语培训，我们构建的是学术能力。”世界语言主任强调，“当学生在科学课上能用英语准确描述实验现象，在人文课上能参与现况辩论，这才是真正的语言能力内化。”

This philosophy permeates every aspect of our curriculum design:

这种理念体现在课程设计的每个细节：

"When I first joined AEP, I still struggled to organize my class notes effectively", recalls Jayden, a Grade 6 student. "After a year of systematic support, I now actively participate in group discussions and have achieved my target grades in English. This growth isn't just linguistic — it's a transformation in learning confidence."

六年级的Jayden同学回忆道：“刚进入AEP时，我还没能很好地整理课堂笔记。经过一年的系统支持，现在不仅能积极参与小组讨论，还在英语课上获得了理想的成绩。这种成长不仅仅是语言的进步，更是学习信心的建立。”

His experience reflects our core belief: 

他的经历印证了我们的核心信念：

This semester, we continue to enhance our unique support system through CCA activities, "Speaking & Grammar Workshops," "Writing & Grammar Workshops," and our diverse ECA such as TOEFL/IELTS preparation courses for boarding students.

在新学期，我们将继续优化这一独具特色的语言支持体系。透过课后拓展课程“口语、语法加强工作坊”和“写作、语法加强工作坊”，以及寄宿学生“超级课程”TOFEL/ IELTS等英语加强课程，进一步完善我们的支持网络。

As Mr. Lee, the Head of School states, 

正如爱莎科学城校长Lee所说：

At ISASC, every child finds their unique learning rhythm — gaining independence through support, achieving breakthroughs through persistence. This is not merely a pathway to language mastery — it is the embodiment of holistic education.

在这里，每个孩子都能找到属于自己的成长节奏，在支持中走向独立，在积累中实现突破——这不仅是语言学习的路径，更是全人成长的缩影。
