OCAC致家长的信

为贯彻“习惯贵坚持，放假不停学”的原则，学校要求孩子们训练沉心静气，保持学习。学校给每个孩子准备了具体的作业包，请务必要求学生安排出时间，认真完成，学校建议假期中学术学习可以安排在上午，利用下午的时间来完成一些创意活动/运动/锻炼，老师们在假期里也会保持线上指导。与此同时，学校正陆续推出一些列促进学风建设的措施，以帮助学生养成良好的学习习惯，一并与家长沟通。

To implement “Learning with good habits”, we expect students to maintain concentration on learning during holiday. Children thrive through routines and holidays can disturb the learning habit. To ensure learning continues students have been given specific homework. Please ensure students make their own schedule to include academic study. We suggest a routine of academic study in the morning during the holiday and creative activities/ sports /exercise in the afternoon. Our teachers will also give online guidance as needed. Meanwhile, to promote academic quality, OCAC is taking more measures to better help students’ learning:

1. 孩子们作业量，尤其是英语的作业量会有适当增加，请鼓励孩子坚持完成。

Students will have increased load in homework, particularly English homework.

2. 为进一步解决主题探究深度和语言障碍问题，中方老师会通过”探究支持项目“ISP （Inquiry Support Program）在主题探究深度上进一步拓展，并概括总结英文探究课上所需的核心语言点。确保深度学习的落实和核心语言的掌握。

To better deepen the inquiry theme and to better overcome language barriers, Chinese bilingual teachers will start ISP (Inquiry Support Program) to cover the core language contents and essential knowledge.

3. 学生每周都有1-2篇核心阅读的拓展作业要完成，核心阅读是每周英语课程内容的精髓，要求学生熟练朗读，掌握其中的关键词汇、重点句型和核心语法。学生在晨读和夜读期间要专心朗读此内容。晨读由学校负责，夜读的基本要求是：学生睡前最后一件事情为诵读此核心阅读内容，诵读过程要求：吐字清晰，抑扬顿挫，尤其是元音要发音饱满。诵读时间至少为30分钟。

经常性的阅读习惯对学术学习有积极的影响，学校并不建议学生在上学日过多的参加课外辅导的课程，我们会保证学生有足够的作业量来加强他们的学术锻炼和挑战。

Students will have an extended assignment called Essential Reading (1-2 passages per week). This is the summary of the weekly contents. OCAC requires students to master the core vocabulary, important sentences, and grammar in the Essential Reading. Students are expected to practice reading it during morning reading time and reading before bedtime. The school is coordinating the morning reading quality and we expect reading before bedtime to follow the basic requirements: read in clear pronunciation and intonation with the right rhythm. Read for at least 30 minutes each day.

Regular reading is proven to have a positive effect on academic learning. We also do not recommend students attend outside academic classes/ training centres especially on school days. We will ensure enough homework for students to be academically challenged.

4. 学校每周都有周测，要求学生对于核心知识要过关。如学生学习态度或学习表现有问题，会被要求周五留校。请配合学校督促学生端正学习态度。

English has weekly quiz so that students can master the fundamental knowledge. Students will be given Friday detention if they have problems in attitude or academic performances.

5. Raz-kids作为拓展阅读是学生泛读任务之一，每日必须按照老师的要求完成一定的量。

学生可以在不需要VPN的情况下，使用此app进行英语阅读听力练习，完成书本上的测验/练习。学校会严格监督学生的练习情况，如果没有完成必须的任务，我们会再与家长进行进一步的沟通。

Raz-kids is being used as part of homework as extensive reading. Students are required to complete certain readings every day.

Students can listen to English reading as well as practicising reading themselves and complete quizzes / comprehension exercises on books using this app which does not require VPN. We will be monitoring student use and contacting parents if students are not completing these necessary assignments.

6. 为鼓励学生深入研究真实的社会问题，学校启动了”Genius Hours”项目，并在班会期间安排具体课程，指导学生运用科学的调研方式，真实研究社会问题。学生将使用英语表达自己的研究过程和独特观点。此过程要求学生有大量的英文写作和演讲训练，每学年也将有一次大型的学术展示机会，以真正的挑战性任务拉升学生的学术英语能力。

To encourage students to get involved in social problems, OCAC started Genius Hours program. Students will study real social problems and do research on them. In the end of each year, students will be presenting their findings and perspectives in English. This process involves a lot of English writing and presentation. We expect students to improve their academic English proficiency in real academic challenges.

7. 为进一步促进学生的口语表达能力，学校要求学生每周至少分享一次自己的朗读或演讲视频或音频。具体内容会由老师指导，请协助孩子每周完成至少一次QQ内上传任务。（很多老师已要求每周多次分享，请继续保持）。

To better help students with their speaking, OCAC require students to share their reading or presentation in English through QQ. Please assist your child to complete the tasks. (at least once a week. May teachers require more than twice sharing)

8. 学校启动了OCAC英文广播站，正甄选优秀的英语广播员，请鼓励孩子们报名，挑战自我。

OCAC English Broadcasting Station is under preparation to start. Please encourage your children to participate.

9. 为鼓励孩子们在校期间讲英文，学校将启动Rise系统，学生积极使用英文表达自己将收到极大鼓励，老师们将根据孩子们的具体表现发放表扬票，凭表扬票，可换取各类礼品或殊荣。我们坚信一个正向鼓励的系统一定能激励学生不断挑战自我。

To encourage more students to use English on campus more. OCAC started RISE system. Use of English will be greatly encouraged. Teachers will issue positive tickets, with which students may exchange for gifts or honored opportunities. We believe a positive and encouraging system will greatly help children to overcome language challenges.

10. 请孩子到校后于8：00开始进行晨读。每日一分不差的坚持才会有厚积薄发的效果。

Please make sure your child can join the school morning reading at 8:00am.

更多措施及细节将随着学习的深入陆续落实，请家长紧随学校步伐。长幼同行，方得始终。

More measures and details will be gradually implemented. We expect all parents to follow our steps. Only with coordinated teamwork, we can actually help students.
