在此文，我们将从课程组成、支持系统、问题实操等方面，讲述广州斐特思如何将孩子培养成为未来跨文化沟通的引领者。

In this article, we'll explore how Fettes College Guangzhou equips students to become leaders in cross-cultural communication by discussing the curriculum structure, support systems, and practical problem-solving strategies.

广州斐特思的英语教学课程致力于增强学生的学术英语能力，核心涵盖EAL（英语作为附加语言）与ESL（英语作为第二语言）两大课程体系。其中，EAL课程严格遵循CEFR（欧洲语言共同参考框架）的标准。

英语学科团队会依据CEFR标准评估学生的语言能力，并据此设定对应的学习目标。老师会与学生就学习安排、学习进度与学习目标进行有效沟通，缩小现状与既定目标之间的差距，确保学生能够循序渐进地提升英语水平。

The Fettes College Guangzhou's English teaching program enhances students' academic English skills. The program centres on two main curriculum systems: EAL (English as an Additional Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language). The EAL curriculum is rigorously aligned with the standards of CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

The English faculty evaluates students' language proficiency according to CEFR benchmarks and sets corresponding learning goals. Teachers collaborate closely with students to plan their learning schedule, track progress, and achieve predetermined objectives. This ensures that students gradually advance their English proficiency.

IGCSE阶段的学生主要学习EAL（英语作为附加语言）课程，他们的学习目标是在一个学期内积累一定数量的词汇，以达到能够进行日常交流、阅读短文、撰写短文以及听懂学术讲座的能力。在学习过程中，学生将参加剑桥英语官方考试，学校致力于帮助学生在进入AS和A2阶段时能够达到相应的资格水平。

对于AS和A2阶段学生而言，他们则主要学习ESL（英语作为第二语言）课程，其学习目标更为深入和专业。他们不仅需要具备用英语进行学术研究的能力，还要能够撰写高质量的学术论文。在口语表达方面，他们需要能够流利地进行演讲。而在日常生活中，他们的目标是能够像使用母语一样自如地运用英语。

At the IGCSE stage, students primarily focus on the EAL curriculum, aiming to build sufficient vocabulary within a semester to engage in daily conversations, read and write short passages, and understand academic lectures. Students will take the Cambridge English Qualifications exams as part of their learning journey. The school is committed to helping students achieve proficiency in the AS and A2 stages.

For students in the AS and A2 stages, the ESL curriculum takes their learning to a more advanced and specialized level. These students are expected to:

·Conduct academic research in English,

·Write high-quality academic essays,

·Deliver fluent presentations in spoken English,

·Use English comfortably in their daily lives as though it were their native language.

广州斐特思针对每位同学的不同英文水平，制定了个性化的分层教学方案，确保学生能够在适合自己进度的环境中高效学习。所有高中部学生都会参与起点测试，依据这次测试的结果，学生的英语教学将被分层进行，每个年级的英文课程最多被细分为四个层次。为了确保每位学生都能最大限度地吸收知识，老师们会根据不同水平的学生设定不同的课程目标、选择相应的教学内容，并采用适宜的教学方法。此外，随着学生学习水平的变化，后期还会动态地调整他们的分组。

To address students' varying levels of English proficiency, Fettes College Guangzhou implements a personalized tiered teaching approach. All high school students undergo an initial placement test, and their English instruction is differentiated into up to four levels per grade based on the test results.

Teachers set different learning goals, tailor course content, and adopt appropriate teaching methods for each level. Students' groupings are adjusted dynamically to ensure maximum progress as they advance in their learning.

国际学校主要教学语言为英语，包括教材、作业、考试等都是全英形式。这要求学生具备较强的学术英语能力，包括阅读英文文献、撰写学术论文、用英语进行课堂展示等。

例如学习生物学科课程，学生需要阅读涵盖大量专业词汇和复杂句子结构的国际课程教材、英文文献等，准确把握文献中的实验方法、研究结论等内容。

International schools primarily use English as the language of instruction for textbooks, assignments, and exams. This requires students to have strong academic English skills, including reading academic texts, writing essays, and presenting in English.

For instance, in biology classes, students must read international curriculum textbooks and English academic articles filled with technical terms and complex sentence structures. They also need to grasp experimental methods and research conclusions accurately.

转入国际学校后，面对全英授课课堂，部分英语基础薄弱的学生会难以跟上老师的节奏、理解知识点。课后，还需要花费比其他同学更多时间精力完成英语作业。

例如在撰写雅思作文时，学生不仅要准确理解数据的意义，还需要识别数据重点与发展趋势。这要求学生掌握一定量的词汇、正确的语法与有逻辑的行文排布能力。

Students with weaker English foundations may need help keeping up with lessons conducted entirely in English and spending extra time completing assignments. For example, students must interpret data accurately when writing IELTS essays, identify key trends, and express their analysis clearly. This demands a solid vocabulary, correct grammar, and logical structuring skills.

英语学科组的老师会在课前将授课所涉及的专业词汇上传到线上学习平台，以便学生们能够提前预习相关的英语词汇、概念以及章节知识点。

Teachers upload subject-specific vocabulary and related concepts to an online learning platform ahead of lessons, enabling students to preview key terms and content.

学校图书馆全馆藏书达2万余本，收藏了大量原版英文书籍。老师贴心地根据英文书籍的阅读难度进行了分级，并用鲜明的颜色标签进行区分。例如初级水平的同学，老师会为他们推荐《Charlotte's Web》（夏洛的网）和《The Secret Garden》（秘密花园）等书籍，中级水平的同学，老师会为他们推荐《To Kill a Mockingbird》（杀死一只知更鸟）和《The Great Gatsby》（了不起的盖茨比）等书籍，同时，学生也可以根据自己的兴趣和英文阅读水平借书，逐渐晋级。

The school library houses a collection of over 20,000 books, including a wide range of original English titles. Teachers have thoughtfully categorized these books by reading difficulty and marked them with distinct colour labels for easy identification. For example, teachers recommend books such as Charlotte's Web and The Secret Garden for students at the beginner level. For intermediate-level students, recommended titles include To Kill a Mockingbird and The Great Gatsby. Students can borrow books based on their interests and English proficiency, gradually progressing to higher levels.

高中各学科基本都是全英文授课，个别科目双语授课。为了辅助教学，老师们还会使用双语课件、英语课堂指令以及双语拓展材料，并布置双语作业。此外，学校特别设立每周五为“全校英文日”，鼓励学生们积极使用英语进行交流，营造沉浸式全英交流环境，让学生们在日常学习、互动中提升英语水平。

In senior school, most subjects are taught entirely in English, with a few taught in both English and Chinese. Teachers support learning with bilingual lesson materials, English classroom instructions, and assignments.

The school has also designated "English Day" every Friday, encouraging students and staff to communicate in English only throughout the day. This immersive environment helps students improve their English skills in daily interactions.

在课堂上，老师们会运用小组讨论、角色扮演等互动式的教学方法，鼓励学生勇敢地表达自己的想法，从而在日常的学习中逐步提升他们的口语能力。

In the classroom, teachers use interactive methods like group discussions and role-playing to encourage students to express themselves confidently and improve their spoken English through daily practice.

学校通过举办一系列丰富多彩的校园活动，如语言文化节、TED演讲比赛和英文戏剧表演等，为学生们提供了多个展示平台，使他们有机会在这些活动中锻炼并提升自己的英文口语能力。不仅如此，老师还积极组织同学们参与各类校外英语比赛，以赛促学，助力同学们在竞技中不断成长。在2024年首届外研社·国才杯粤港澳大湾区青少年英语交流会演讲比赛中，我校学生表现优异，其中Olivia同学荣获三等奖，Alice同学获得优胜奖，同时，我校也因出色的组织工作而赢得了优秀组织奖。

The school organizes various activities, such as language and culture festivals, TED-style speech competitions, and English drama performances. These events provide students with opportunities to showcase their English skills.

Additionally, teachers actively encourage students to participate in external English competitions. For instance, at the 2024 First "FLTRP·ETIC Cup" Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Youth English Exchange Conference, FCG students achieved remarkable results: Olivia was awarded the Third Prize, Alice was awarded the Excellence Award, and the school received the Outstanding Organization Award.

在每天课外拓展活动课程中，学生可额外选择英语专项提升训练课程。这些课程以更小班化教学为特色，全部由外教授课，确保100%的纯英语环境。老师们会根据每位学生的具体情况，量身定制个性化的学习方案，重点提升学生的阅读理解能力、写作能力、口语表达能力和听力技巧。

During daily extracurricular courses, students can opt for English enhancement sessions conducted in smaller groups by native English-speaking teachers. These sessions target specific needs, such as reading comprehension, writing skills, speaking fluency, and listening techniques.

雅思专项提升课程聚焦于全面提升学生的听力、口语、阅读及写作四项基本技能。在教学过程中，教师不仅重视学生的英语能力发展，还详细讲解实际考试技巧，旨在帮助每位学生在十年级时获得雅思至少6.5分的成绩。

学生们通过英语课程的学习和雅思专项训练，每两个月学部会组织英文标化的模拟考试，这样的安排使得老师们能够精确地追踪和了解学生的学习进展情况。在后续的教学中可进行有针对性的计划，以提升学生的水平。

有框架、有目标、有跟踪、有复盘、有支持，这种种要素构成了广州斐特思的英文学习系统。在英语课程的框架下，老师采用分阶段/分层教学的方式，确保课堂学习既高效又贴合每位学生的个性化需求。学生不仅能够学到与自身当前英语水平相匹配的知识点和技能，自信地运用英语，还能在课程体系中逐级提升，将英语作为工具，深入探索并理解全球各国的社会、历史及文化等多维度知识，从而成长为跨文化交流能力出众的人才。

The IELTS preparation courses focus on developing students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Teachers also provide practical exam tips to help students achieve a minimum score of 6.5 by Grade 10.

The senior school organizes standardized English assessments every two months to track students' progress accurately. This data enables teachers to create targeted lesson plans to improve students' performance.

Fettes College Guangzhou's English learning system is built on a structured framework with clear objectives, continuous progress tracking, regular reviews, and robust support. By implementing phased and tiered instruction, teachers ensure that classroom learning is effective and tailored to each student's unique needs.

Under this comprehensive system, students gain confidence in using English and progressively advance their proficiency. They are empowered to use English to explore and understand the world's societies, histories, and cultures, growing into outstanding talents with exceptional cross-cultural communication skills.
