SPKC LANGUAGE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME
SPKC Language Enhancement Programme is developed as a curriculum of other languages so as to promote global awareness particularly in cultural practices and language arts, allow students to consider sitting for internationally recognized language proficiency examinations, and eventually, enhance students’ competitiveness in the global market.
Since the reformation of the Programme 5 years ago, there are accumulatively over 300 students from S1 to S4 having studied Japanese and French in SPKC. Apart from regular lessons and assessments, students have various chances to practice the language in outings, school promotions, performances, competitions, online conference and summer programmes, etc.
Our school extends our appreciation to Mrs Avigail YEH and Ms Wing YEUNG, the tutors of Japanese Class, for their teaching and passion to youth education these years.
We look forward to seeing our students’ further development in foreign languages!
