KKCL China Programme Overview

This is a highly experiential and interactive programme aiming to challenge students to use their creativity and critical thinking in English, allowing them to take the lead by guiding instead of spoon-feeding them. Exploratory teaching and learning approaches used throughout the programme, foster students’ ability to make connections between their existing knowledge and unfamiliar content. 

The programme is unique by virtue of its innovative approach to teaching English via philosophy of East-West cultural exchange, to help students become tolerant and well-rounded Citizens of the Globe, who have the competence to think independently and work collaboratively. 

The design and the delivery of the programme have been informed by the 21st century classroom principles and a holistic approach to teaching and learning, educating students in life and learning skills, emotional intelligence and cultural awareness. Through encouraging students to make their own lapbooks we help students develop  visual literacy, to better equip them for further studies.

We use a student-centred Task Based & Project Based teaching methodology endorsed by the University of Cambridge, with each school day offering a clearly defined tangible outcome, allowing students to take samples of their work home and to share them with their parents and friends. These include recordings, videos, posters, and so much more.

For the purpose of authenticity, a wide range of  situation-based activities are used in the classroom, to practise language and communication skills in realistic contexts.

Students learn English through interactive and creative projects. This is an excellent way to encourage students from different countries to communicate in an easy and natural manner. The syllabus helps students improve their overall English language competence, in particular, speaking fluency, with pronunciation integrated into classroom activities.

We make every minute of the programme a teachable moment! There is a direct link between classroom based learning experience and places students visit during their stay, with field-trips embedded into the syllabus. By involving students in mini-projects, they play an active part in creating their own learning process, making the excursions truly memorable.

Throughout the course, informed by an ongoing ‘needs analysis’, the teacher will adapt the syllabus to focus on the language areas the students are most in need of, maximising the benefit of the course programme, and helping students  develop their general English through non-traditional and experiential forms of teaching and learning.  

By bringing Eastern culture, Western culture and English language as the medium of instruction and communication together, we are offering a highly engaging, unforgettable, educational, and fun experience that speeds up the learning process, making students’ stay a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
