坐落于中国粤港澳大湾区，佛山市霍利斯外籍人员子女学校是一所以英国国家课程为框架，向学生提供高质量的教育英式国际学校。英国课程的设计特点是广泛和平衡，帮助学生在语言、数学、科学、人文和艺术等不同学科领域打下坚实的知识基础。

语言能力是我校英式课程的一个关键切入点，因为学生们需要具备一定的语言能力来参与和学习整个课程体系。但我们也意识到，并不是每位国际学生在入学时候都有很高的英语水平，因此我们设计了一系列创新和实用的英语语言学习项目，帮助他们提升语言能力，充分发挥自己的潜力。

Jones女士是我校的英语老师和学习支持主任，她设计了不同的英语学习活动，从小组阅读到个人针对性辅导，鼓励学生每天使用和练习所学的英语，并致力于为他们创建和完善沉浸式的英语学习环境。

这篇文章，我们邀请Jones女士给大家分享佛山霍利斯如何帮助学生提升英语能力。

在佛山霍利斯，我们的语言政策强调了要创造一个氛围浓厚的英语环境，支持学生的语言学习和提升，同时也促进跨文化的理解和交流。

作为教师，我们明白到学生们都有自己的学习速度和水平。我们采取以学生为中心的方法，来调整教学方式和策略，以适应不同学生的学习需要。所有入读佛山霍利斯的学生都要完成不同的入学评估，包括阅读理解评估、CAT 4、写作评估、面试和牛津入学测试。如有需要，在他们在入学后，学校还会进行进一步的评估和观察。

我们认为，语言学习并不局限于在英语语言学习（ELA）课堂。所有学科领域的老师都有责任帮助学生提升他们在其所在领域的英语语言能力。英语教学支持老师们也会被分配到不同的学科提供支援，与学科老师共同合作设计课程，并在课堂上为学生提供帮助，采用内容和语言综合学习法（CLIL）等策略来支持学生们在学科领域内英语能力的进步。

我们采用课堂内外支持三部曲的方法，为需要额外支持的学生提供有针对性的英语教学。简单来说，我们会将这些学生暂时从人文学科的课程抽出，采用内容和语言综合学习法（CLIL）给他们提供基于这些人文学科课程内容的强化式英语教学，直到他们达到一定的语言水平。一旦他们达到了这个水平，他们便可以回归正式的人文学科课堂，同时我们会提供课堂上的语言支持，直到他们的英语水平能够完全胜任该学科学习。

我们的教学空间装饰有英语及双语展示墙报，其中包括了学生在学习上会遇到的关键词汇、短语和句式。这些形式多样和内容丰富的墙报能够提供学生们所需的语言知识，并让校园的每个角落都能成为语言学习的场所。

佛山霍利斯还提供一系列的英语能力提升活动，帮助学生们发展他们的英语语言技能，使他们的英语水平得到提高，足以充分参与我们的英式课程。除了上面部分提及的“课堂内外支持三部曲”中的额外英语教学和调整过的人文学科课程，学校还提供以下这些活动项目：

在口语练习活动中，老师或英语教学支持老师与学生进行一对一的口语练习，提升他们口语和听力能力，让他们更容易使用英语来表达观点和有效沟通。

我们采用结构化的阅读方法，帮助学生提高他们的理解和分析能力，教会他们如何识别关键信息，进行推理，并从总结文本的主要观点。

一系列的沉浸式活动能够帮助学生更加自如和自信地运用自己的英语技能，活动内容包括小组讨论、英语辩论和英语演讲。

学校提供语言学习类的课外活动，包括学生报社和语言游戏，帮助学生在有趣和有吸引力的环境中锻炼语言技能。

我们向学生提供词汇手册的模板，鼓励学生将他们遇到的新词汇记录下来。这有助于他们扩大英语词汇量，并培养他们成为独立学习的能力和习惯。

在佛山霍利斯，我们认为语言不仅仅是交流的一种工具，也是了解不同文化和思维方式的途径。我们致力于为学生提供一个丰富的语言环境和创新有趣的英语能力提升活动，帮助他们掌握和发展英语技能。

展望未来，我们希望能够进一步提升英语语言学习的方式，设计更多创新的语言学习策略，助力学生们的语言学习之旅。

As a British international school in the Greater Bay Area in China, LEH International School Foshan promotes the British curriculum as a framework for delivering high-quality education to its pupils. The British curriculum is designed to be broad and balanced, providing pupils with a strong foundation in a range of subjects, including language, mathematics, science, humanities, and the arts.

Language proficiency is a key component of the British curriculum, as it is through language that pupils access and engage with all aspects of the curriculum. However, we understand that not all of our international pupils come to us with a high level of English proficiency, and that's why we've developed a range of innovative and effective English language learning programmes to help them achieve their full potential.

Mrs Jones, our English Language Specialist Teacher and Head of Learning Support, leads the way in creating an immersive English learning environment that encourages pupils to use and practice their language skills every day, from small group reading to various interventions tailored to the needs of each pupil.

In this article, we invite Mrs Jones to share more insights into the pathway to English language fluency at LEH Foshan.

At LEH Foshan, our Language Policy emphasises the importance of creating an English-rich environment that supports pupils' language acquisition and development while promoting cross-cultural understanding and communication.

As teachers, we recognise that our pupils learn at different speeds and levels of success. Therefore, we take a pupil-centred approach, tailoring our teaching methods and strategies to accommodate the needs of individual learners. Based on their year groups, all pupils joining LEHF go through different admissions assessments, including reading comprehension assessments, CAT 4, writing assessments, interviews and OPT. Further assessments and observations are carried out upon entry if required.

We believe that language learning is not limited to the English Language Acquisition (ELA) classroom; all teachers, regardless of their subject area, have a role to play in supporting pupils' language development. ELA specialists are allocated to different faculties; they work collaboratively with mainstream teachers to co-plan lessons and support language development within the classroom, using strategies such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to support language development within their subject areas.

The Push-In, Pull Out Support model is adopted to provide targeted English language instruction for pupils who require additional support. The basic concept is that we pull these pupils out of Humanities lessons to offer Humanities CLIL-based intensive English instruction until they reach a certain level of competency. Once they have achieved this level, we put them back into the classroom with in-class support until they are fully competent in English.

Our teaching spaces feature English and bilingual displays with keywords, phrases, and sentence stems that support pupils' learning. These displays are varied to meet the level of scaffolding required for pupils and support the development of language skills across all areas of the school.

LEH Foshan also provides a range of intervention activities to help pupils develop their English language skills and achieve a level of proficiency that enables them to engage fully with the curriculum. Apart from the additional English classes and adapted Humanities lessons mentioned above in the 'Push In, Pull-Out Support' model, the following are some of the intervention activities that the school currently employs:

Oral intervention involves a teacher or a language specialist working one-on-one with pupils to improve their speaking and listening skills. This intervention benefits pupils who need help communicating their ideas and thoughts effectively in English.

Reading intervention involves a structured approach to reading that helps pupils improve their comprehension and analytical skills. Pupils are taught to identify key information, make inferences, and draw conclusions from written text.

The immersive programme is designed to help pupils become more comfortable and confident in their English language skills. The programme includes activities that immerse pupils in an English-speaking environment, such as group discussions, debates, and presentations.

The school offers extracurricular activities (ECAs) focusing on language acquisition. These activities include Newspaper Club and language games that help pupils practice their language skills in a fun and engaging way.

We provide vocabulary books and templates to encourage pupils to add any new vocabulary they may come across. This process helps them to expand their English language vocabulary and cultivate them to be independent language learners.

At LEH Foshan, language is not just a tool for communication but also a pathway to understanding different cultures and ways of thinking. Therefore, we are committed to providing our pupils with a language-rich environment and innovative and joyful language-learning interventions that support their English acquisition and development. 

As we look to the future, we are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of language learning and developing new strategies to support our pupils in their language journey.
