Lam Tai Fai College

We believe English and Putonghua, serving as powerful tools for work and study, are the gateway to the world. We therefore strive to maximize students' exposure to these two languages, enabling them to become trilingual in English, Cantonese and Putonghua, as well as biliterate in English and Chinese.

Small group teaching is initiated in regular Chinese Language and English Language lessons. Students can actively participate in learning activities that they find meaningful and attainable. Learning tasks are also designed to align with students' diverse abilities, skills and learning styles, allowing them to experience a greater sense of achievement and success.

To further enhance our students' English and Putonghua proficiency, some of our junior secondary Chinese Language classes are taught in Putonghua, and regular small-group Language Arts lessons are conducted by native English speakers.

The school also provides an authentic language environment through the English Café and Putonghua World. A wide variety of outside class English and Putonghua activities are also held during lunch and after school, such as daily English and Putonghua lunch activities, Mid-autumn Festival Activity, Halloween Drama, scrabble competition and Easter Eggs Hunt.

Besides, our morning assemblies, weekly assemblies, daily announcements and school activities are mainly conducted in English and Putonghua. This immersive approach ensures that students receive maximum exposure to both languages.

Students are also encouraged to read extensively to improve their language proficiency. With the implementation of e-Learning in Junior Secondary, students are more motivated to read e-books, e-news and e-readers.
