A Lesson observation session was held in our S5E class and observed by the officers of CDI of EDB. Guests observed the lesson on “Popular Culture” from the 7th to 8th lesson on 13th December, 2010 (Monday).
The objectives of the observation were to enhance the communication within schools and to collect feedback on how the curriculum in the English Language Education Key Learning Area is implemented at school and at classroom levels by the English Language Education Section of the Curriculum Development Institute. This practice has been started since the 2006/07 school year and the officers from CDI started to make visits to schools.
The information obtained from these visits enables us to make informed decisions about how EDB can better support teachers and students in implementing the three-year senior secondary curriculum. The visits also provided valuable opportunities for us to gather examples of good practice in language learning and teaching for future dissemination. After the lesson observation, there was a thorough discussion concerning language learning, teaching and curriculum development with the English panel chairperson and other panel members.
Special thanks for the help by Ms WY Wong and her class (S5E).
