Must Read Passages
 A custom-designed booklet was compiled by the Form
Coordinator for each form. Besides the School motto and the
Lord’s Prayer on the first page, the booklet consists of 12
passages (10 passages for S6). Each of them has two parts,
namely the ‘Core’ and the ‘Extended’ parts. Students must be
able to read aloud those passages and have the Core parts in
their dictations. Teachers will decide whether or not and how
to adopt the ‘Extended’ parts, which are of a higher level of
difficulty, according to the ability of different students.
Dictation/Quiz book
 A KWS exercise book should be used as the dictation/quiz book as
before. ‘Content page’ should be filled in each time.You may consider
leaving one or two more pages for the content.
 Though teachers have to abide by the school-based dictation guidelines,
flexibility is allowed for the utilization of the above-mentioned passages
to cater for diverse needs, e.g., select some vocabulary for dictation, let
students choose whether to write the extended part to get bonus marks,
ask students to recite it, etc. However, mere vocabulary dictation is not
encouraged; vocabulary dictation must be put in context, e.g., fill-inthe-blank dictations. By so doing, teachers could choose to assign a word
range wider than that will be in the actual dictation.
 As for the means of dictation, we can arrange ‘graded’ dictations
(Students will start with the first paragraph from a particular passage in
their dictation with one extra paragraph added in subsequent dictations
until the whole passage is covered) to let students see their progress.
Speaking Book
A KWS exercise book will be used as the Speaking Book. The
Speaking Book is one of the assignment books which might
be called for homework inspection. It includes the core parts
(reinforce the 12 or 10 [S6] core passages in the Must Read
Passages Booklet) and any other speaking materials designed
by the teacher concerned. Students can be asked to copy the
passages from the Booklet into this Speaking Book for
revision purpose. Students are supposed to be able to read
aloud or do individual presentation based on the core
passages in class. Teachers should demonstrate reading aloud
in class though the related audio clips recorded by the NET
will be uploaded to eclass/iLAP at a later stage.
Classwork Book
 1. There should be content page(s) for Classwork book, thus

we have to remind students to spare space for this purpose.
2. The content that should be included in each lesson:
i. lesson preparation
ii. learning objectives (e.g. learn to write a formal letter,
learn to distinguish “make” & “do”…)
iii. notes about what they have learnt
iv. students’ own reflection on what they have learnt
v. teacher’s conclusion (optional)
vi. assignment
Free writing
All students are required to submit free writing. It is strongly
recommended that public exam classes should do it once a
week in order to have more practice. It can come in many
different formats. Besides writing on certain topics chosen
by the teacher, it can also be newspaper clippings, journal
writing, sentence making or parallel writing, etc. If the
writing assignments are not marked in detail, a grade or
some comments should be given. Corrections are not
compulsory.
Assignments of the “Reading Scheme”
 There should be two ‘after-reading activities’ per term. Each
student should borrow at least ONE English book from the
school library once a month. Teachers should take students to
the library to borrow books regularly if needs arise.
 Students should not borrow books on behalf of their
classmates, and neither should the teachers, as troubles may
arise at times.
Best Presenter Awards
 Each student has to do at least two oral book reports /
presentations per term. The best one will be selected to enter
the Best Presenter Competition in April.
 The name of the Best Presenter of each class should be ready
in April.
 The marks of presentation are put as part (~20%) of the final
oral exam marks.
