语言学习的黄金五年，斐特思小学英语这样教！
表达流利、自信大方，在舞台上侃侃而谈。
这是广州斐特思小学学生英文表达的日常。
Fluent expression, confident delivery, and clear speaking on stage—these are daily experiences for FCG primary students as they learn English.
小学五年是语言学习的黄金期，斐特思小学部如何帮孩子夯实英语基础、提升学习兴趣、实现流利表达？
四个核心问题，带您全面了解小学英语教学。
The five years of primary school represent a golden opportunity for language development. So, how does FCG support students in building a strong foundation, fostering enthusiasm, and achieving fluency in English? The following four key questions offer an insightful overview of our English teaching approach in the Primary School.
第一问：
新入学学生，如何跟上课程进度？
How do new students keep up with the curriculum?
分层走班教学
Tiered Instruction and Flexible Grouping
新入学学生需参加入学测试，测试结果将作为后续分层教学的重要参考依据；
所有学生每年还需重新参加基底测试，学校会依据最新测试成绩调整分层。
All new students complete an admission test, which helps us with their placement.
Additionally, each year, all students undertake a baseline assessment, allowing us to adjust placements based on their most recent results.
一年级仅在年级内分为启航组、探索组两个层级，不实行走班制；
二年级及以上推行 “走班制 + 分层教学”，按测评结果将学生分为三个层级，不同水平的学生到对应班级上课，分层更精准。
因此，在不同层级的课堂上，老师会根据各小组学生的学习进度，准备难度适配的阅读材料 —— 从单词难易到材料篇幅，均为学生量身打造。
In Grade 1, students are organised into two groups—Suns and Mercury—within the same classroom.
From Grade 2 onwards, we adopt a "tiered instruction and flexible grouping" model. Students are placed into three tiers based on their assessment results, and teachers prepare differentiated reading materials tailored to each tier, adjusting both difficulty and length to suit individual needs.
动态评估调整层级
Continuous Assessment and Tier Adjustment
采用 “每月微调 + 基石阶段评估” 机制，以 “进步幅度”“知识掌握稳定性”“学习兴趣” 为核心指标，而非依赖单次测评成绩。
通过剑桥英语内部测评、PM Benchmark 阅读测评、Schonell Spelling 单词测评、内部月度测评、IXL 月度评估及日常课堂观察等方式动态追踪，长期反馈并定期重新评估调整层级。
这套高密度的测评体系，能确保每位学生的学习进度都被关注，让他们始终在最适合自己的层级中高效学习。
Placements are reviewed through a "monthly fine-tuning and milestone assessment" process, focusing on indicators such as progress, mastery of content, and interest in learning, rather than relying on a single test.
Our assessments include Cambridge young learner exams, PM Benchmark reading assessments, Schonnel Spelling tests, monthly school-based tests, IXL diagnostics, and daily classroom observations.
This frequent evaluation system ensures that each student’s learning journey is closely monitored and that they remain in the most suitable tier.
额外支持基础薄弱学生
Additional Support for Students with Weaker Foundations
课堂座位采用 “同伴互助” 式编排，助力英文学习：当基础薄弱的学生听不懂英文指令时，教师会引导他们向同组基础较强的同桌请教，由同桌用贴合其理解水平的语言解释指令。学校还为这类学生开设了每日额外学术辅导课程。
Classroom seating is arranged to promote "peer support." When students have difficulty understanding English instructions, teachers encourage them to ask their partner for assistance, who can explain the instructions in a way that is more accessible. The school also offers daily academic support lessons for students needing extra help.
第二问：
在斐特思，小学生如何学英语？
How do students learn English at FCG?
小学部将中国国家课程、国际文凭组织小学项目课程和英国费得斯公学课程融为一体，形成了以国家课程为基础，国际文凭组织小学课程为框架，英国费得斯公学课程元素为特色的课程体系。聚焦跨学科教学、概念驱动与探究式学习，兼顾基础夯实与国际视野培养。
The Primary School combines the Chinese National Curriculum, the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, and elements of the Fettes College curriculum. Our programme is grounded in the national curriculum, framed by the IB PYP, and enriched by Fettes traditions. It emphasises interdisciplinary learning, concept-driven teaching, and inquiry-based approaches, ensuring a solid foundation alongside an international perspective.
学生Olivia Xu 从幼儿园阶段就在广州斐特思就读，升入小学部三年级时，便以高分通过 PET 考试。
Olivia Xu, who has attended FCG since EY, passed the PET exam with a high score in Grade 3.
Bilingual Teaching with Chinese and
International Teachers
小学部课程的全英或双语授课占比近 70%。中外教分工明确、协同授课。外教主导课堂，针对不同层级学生的口语、听力水平设计差异化互动任务，并搭配引导性阅读与写作训练，强化语言输入与输出。中教聚焦语法与应试技巧的分层指导，同时牵头筹备各项大型英语能力竞赛。
课堂注重培养学生的英语应用能力，提供大量开口表达机会，帮助他们建立用英文解决问题的思维。除鼓励 “开口表达” 外，课堂还结合游戏、项目式学习（PBL）、戏剧表演等趣味形式，通过 “以说带写（Talk for writing）” 等任务激发学生的学习兴趣。
Around 70% of our lessons are delivered in English or in a bilingual format. International teachers lead the instruction, designing tiered tasks for speaking and listening, supported by guided reading and writing. Meanwhile, Chinese teachers focus on grammar, exam techniques, and competition preparation.
Our classrooms provide extensive opportunities for oral expression and problem-solving in English. Lessons also incorporate games, project-based learning, drama, and "Talk for Writing" activities to foster interest and build confidence.
Immersive English Environment
校园标识全英文覆盖，各班均设置英文阅读角。英文书籍、词典及线上学习平台等资源多维渗透，同时打造常态化英文实践场景：每周一集会设英文分享环节，每位学生都有机会上台分享当月主题。定期开展英语日、哈利波特日、TEDx 等主题全英文互动活动，让英语融入日常生活；推动跨学科英文元素融入，例如数学、探究、体育等学科均渗透一定比例的英语教学内容。
英语不再是单纯的学习 “目的”，而是成为学生探索知识的工具、认识世界的视角与思维方式。
The school features English signage throughout the campus, reading corners in every classroom, and access to English books, dictionaries, and online resources. Weekly assemblies include English sharing sessions, giving every student the opportunity to present. Regular events—such as English Corner, Harry Potter Day, and TEDx—create authentic scenarios for using English. Additionally, English is integrated into other subjects, including Maths, Inquiry, and PE, allowing it to become not just a subject but also a vital tool for learning and exploring the world.
第三问：
学生在课外时间，可以如何提升英语？
How can students improve their English outside class?
专业学习平台
Professional Learning Platforms
IXL、MyOn Reading 与 Rhino Reader 三大资源平台，共同构建起英语学习的完整闭环。三大平台构建的全学段资源矩阵，提供从启蒙到高阶、覆盖阅读测评与个性规划的一站式学习方案，以数字化手段助推学生个性化成长。
Platforms like IXL, MyOn Reading, and Rhino Readers together form a comprehensive learning ecosystem. These resources cater to all levels, from beginner to advanced, offering assessments, personalised reading plans, and digital learning support.
图书馆海量英文原版书籍
Extensive English Library Resources
图书馆全馆藏书达 2 万余本，涵盖科普、小说、人文社科、艺术等多个类别，其中包含大量英文原版书籍。
老师会根据英文书籍的阅读难度对其分级，并用鲜明的颜色标签区分。学生可通过 MyOn 英文分级阅读系统生成个性化书单，快速找到匹配自身阅读水平的书籍，在阅读乐趣中稳步 “晋级”。
Our library boasts over 20,000 books across a range of subjects including science, fiction, humanities, and the arts, featuring a substantial collection of English originals.
The books are leveled and colour-coded by difficulty, making it easier for students to choose appropriate reading materials. Additionally, students can use the MyOn graded reading system to generate personalised booklists, allowing them to make steady progress while enjoying their reading.
第四问：
针对英文水平突出的学生，
有哪些深度拓展活动？
What enrichment opportunities are offered for high-achieving students?
针对英文水平突出的学生，学校规划了多元化深度拓展路径，通过特色活动满足其进阶学习需求：
一是搭建竞赛成长平台：组织英文竞赛专项集训，鼓励学生参与小学英文演讲比赛，以赛促学，提升其语言应用与表达能力。
小学部学子曾斩获 2023 年外文素养青少年演讲与辩论大赛全国第二名（银奖）、2025 年未来外交官英语演讲比赛全国金奖、银奖等荣誉。
For students with strong English proficiency, the school offers a variety of advanced pathways:
Competition Training
Students receive specialised coaching for English competitions and are encouraged to participate in public speaking events. Notable achievements include:
·National Silver Medal in the 2023 Youth English Speech & Debate Competition
·National Gold and Silver Awards in the 2025 Future Diplomats English Speech Competition
二是开展主题实践活动：
组织学生前往澳洲、美国等国家参与暑期交换生夏令营、英文戏剧表演等活动，让他们在真实场景中深化语言运用能力。
Thematic Learning and Overseas Programmes
Students also have the opportunity to take part in summer exchange programmes, English drama camps, and activities in countries such as Australia and the United States, enhancing their real-world language application.
语言的边界，往往是认知的边界。广州斐特思小学的英语教学，正是在打破这层边界：用分层教学让每个孩子跟上节奏，用多元课程让语言连接生活，用拓展活动让能力超越课本。
最终，当孩子能用英语理解不同文化、思考复杂问题时，这门语言便真正成为了他们成长路上的 “助推器”，陪伴他们以更自信的姿态走向世界。
Language shapes how children perceive the world around them. At FCG Primary School, we use tiered instruction, a diverse curriculum, and meaningful enrichment activities to help students overcome learning barriers.
When students can use English to explore different cultures and engage with complex issues, the language becomes a powerful tool for their growth, enabling them to face the world with confidence.
