Rotary Club of New Territories, Rotaract Club of New Territories and the Books & Beyond Reading Club jointly organized a service project to teach primary school students English.

Rotary Club of New Territories and Rotaract Club of New Territories assisted primary school students in “Suspending classes without suspending learning” during the Covid-19 pandemic

Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, all primary schools in Hong Kong have suspended face-to-face classes. In response to the impact of long-term suspension on primary school students, Rotary Club of New Territories and Rotaract Club of New Territories jointly assisted Books & Beyond Reading Club in implementing an online teaching English service project in October 2020, allowing students to suspend classes without suspend learning.

Teaching English in small classes for primary school students in Hong Kong with poor economic conditions to stimulate their interest in continuous learning

This service project aims to provide free English enhancement courses for primary school students in Hong Kong with poor economic conditions, so that primary school students have more opportunities to learn and experience the fun of learning English, thereby helping students develop interest in English reading and confidence in speaking English. Volunteers enhance students’ interest in learning English by leading lively online classes with interesting topics. Online classes are also conducted in small classes so that volunteers can understand and respond with the abilities and progress of each student more.

Online and offline activities in response to the pandemic to cultivate the confidence of primary school students in using English and the conduct of life

The service project is divided into two steps:

1^st step – to interact with primary school students online
The first step will be online teaching given by the Rotaract Club of New Territories to primary school students during the pandemic so that the students can still feel the joy of learning English and cultivate confidence in English reading and speaking during the suspension of classes.

2^nd step – to visit primary schools to communicate with primary school students in different ways.

The second step will be the visit of primary schools by Rotary Club of New Territories and Rotaract Club of New Territories after the pandemic is over using role play, cooperative games, interactive storytelling, awards and other forms, to encourage primary school students to learn English together, from which they can develop various skills, such as social skills, self-management, and social awareness.

新界扶輪社及新界扶青社協助小學生疫情期間《停課也不停學》

鑿於新冠肺炎的影響，全港的小學都暫停了面授課堂。考慮到長期停課對小學生的影響，新界扶輪社與新界扶青社於2020年10月開始協助Books & Beyond Reading Club 進行線上教授英語的服務計劃，讓學生可以停課不停學。

為香港經濟狀況較差的小學生進行英語小班教學引發持續學習的興趣

此服務計劃旨在為香港經濟狀況較差的小學生提供免費的英語強化課程，讓小學生有更多學習及感受英語樂趣的機會，從而協助學生培養對英語閱讀的興趣和對口語的信心。義工們透過帶領生動的線上課堂及有趣的主題目，提升學生對學習英語的興趣；而且線上課堂都以小班教學進行，義工們可以更容易了解每位學生的能力和進度，加強對學生的照顧，因材施教。

因應疫情設計線上線下活動以培養小學生使用英語的信心以及學習做人道理 •活動分為兩步曲
