ESL Certificate Course
Grammar is a huge part of our everyday life. Proper grammar is necessary when students are learning a new language, taking standardized tests, and to write well in the professional world. Grammar is the mental system of rules and categories that allows humans to form and interpret the words and sentences of their language. Based on the use of “grammar”, our exclusive ESL program shall definitely increase student’s skills in listening, writing, reading and speaking.

Course Intro:
- {Essential Materials in "Liberal Studies" were added to 2009 syllabus}
Our school has brought the ESL (English as a Second Language) training program for both the primary school and secondary school students from a Canadian institute, McDonald International Academy. The ESL program is for the student who takes English as his/her second language. Our experienced teachers always teach patiently and provide academic guidance to our students. The ESL program helps students improve their proficiency in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Furthermore, the program would also help students improve their communication ability and acquire better academic achievement. The spoon-feed education system in Hong Kong has not been able for students learning practical English. The program aims at combating this problem. We hope that students can study better English effectively under our fun study atmosphere and build up a solid English foundation from their childhood.
