2. 強弱機危分析 SWOT Analysis

強項/機會 Strength & opportunities 弱項/危機 Weakness & threat

Subject Teacher 本科老師

1. The Department has a panel of

experienced, well-trained and

benchmarked teachers.

2. Expertise and professional advice from

our School NET is available.

3. Support from the teaching assistant can

help out with the preparation of

teaching materials and running of

activities.

Subject Teacher 本科老師

1. Most English teachers have no experience

in marking TSA and DSE papers.

2. Most English teaches are not familiar

with the online platform available and

how that could help with teaching and

learning.

3. All teachers are burdened with some

other administrative plus non-teaching

duties, which might trade off teachers’

time in and devotion to the teaching job.

2

Our Students 本校學生

1. Some NAC are eager to learn English.

Resources in School 本校資源

1. The IT team is providing advice and

assistance to facilitate the use of

multi-media in language teaching and

learning.

2. All English teachers teach 2 English

classes and more lessons are allocated

for English Language.

3. English teachers do not need to teach

other subjects in the school.

4. The extra grant gained from the Project

WeCan, enables the English Department

to organize various activities and

programmes for our students; 10

overseas study tour scholarship will be

offered to students to motivate them to

work hard on English.

5. Generous support from HSBC,

American Women’s Association and The

Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs Association of

Hong Kong in organizing activities for

our junior and senior form students may

help students better prepare for the

HKDSE.

Our Students 本校學生

1. Secondary 1 intake is mostly from the

bottom of band 3 and the majority has a

poor foundation in English.

2. As Chinese is the medium of instruction,

students’ exposure to English is very

limited.

3. A number of students have family

problems and emotional problems, which

often leads to discipline problems in class

and thus hinders the progress of teaching

and learning.

4. Most students in general are dependent

and passive learners and show little or

even no motivation towards learning

English.

5. Most students are basically weak in

listening and speaking and reluctant to

read or write in English.

Resources in school 資源方面

1. The English Corner is practically too

small to hold any English activities with

more than 10 participants.

2. Some of the computers and other

facilities in the MMLC are worn out.

3. Learner diversity plus large class size is

minimising the effectiveness of teaching

and learning.

3. 本年度工作目標 Objectives：

1. To revise and refine the school-based curriculum according to students’ ability, needs and interests.

2. To cater for learner diversity through developing diversified and graded learning tasks and activities

3. To develop students’ confidence in using English for classroom communication through collaborative learning, role-play and group discussions

4. To strengthen students’ vocabulary building skills through frequent dictation 5. To strengthen the teaching of grammar in context 6. To incorporate language arts into the junior curriculum 7. To maximise students’ exposure to a wide range of text-types 8. To develop a ‘reading to learn’ culture 9. To adopt diversified teaching methodologies in cooperative learning 10. To promote independent learning through Moodle and help students apply the

knowledge and skills of English through the integrated use of the language 11. To strengthen the learning-teaching-assessment cycle 12. To create a language-rich environment
