School-wide language policy: Cultivate students to be biliterate and trilingual, and be proficient in both Chinese and English. At any time and place, English and Mandarin teachers communicate with students in English and Mandarin respectively. Under the fine-tuning policy, all classes of comprehensive science subjects and comprehensive humanities subjects in junior high schools use English as the teaching language, and some classes also use English to teach mathematics, music and computer subjects. When junior high school students enter high school, bridging courses are also provided to help them adapt to the change in the language of instruction.
learning and teaching strategies: Led by the directors of each subject, teaching strategies are formulated in line with the direction of curriculum reform to train students in independent thinking, e-learning, independent learning abilities and multiple intelligences. Teachers exchange teaching experiences through peer class observation to achieve paradigm shift and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Students can go to the English Court every day to practice conversation and borrow English books. The school encourages students to set learning goals and organize study groups to share their experiences. In recent years, various disciplines have been committed to implementing the "top and bottom policy" in high schools and using the "score early warning plan" to enhance students' understanding of their personal strengths and weaknesses, so as to improve the performance of high school students in public examinations. Junior high schools implement the "small class teaching policy" and implement the "adaptive teaching" policy in various subjects to strengthen the learning foundation of junior high school students.
