British Council Open Days offer free demonstration lessons of Primary Plus, Secondary and DSE English courses
The British Council will organise Open Days at English Language centres in Admiralty, Yau Ma Tei and Hung Hom in February and March 2017. Parents and children can attend free demonstration lessons for Primary Plus English courses, Secondary and DSE English courses, immerse themselves in an English-only learning environment and learn about the British Council’s unique teaching methodology. Participants can join in other activities on Open Days – free English level tests (P1-S5), parents’ information sessions (P1-S4) which offer advice on how to help children at home with English and course consultations.
Primary Plus English courses are based on themes that are relevant to the everyday lives of children. Through class activities including role plays and presentations, students can improve their English skills and develop life skills, such as creativity and critical thinking. Secondary and DSE English courses (S1-S5) offer small-class sized learning, and especially focus on teaching and improving the speaking and pronunciation skills of students. Students can improve their English oral, reading, writing and listening skills through practice and understand their learning progress through regular evaluations. They will also learn exam techniques from the British Council’s experienced teachers.
