OUR English program at Dung Xin Elementary School is focused on giving children a positive start to the study of a difficult and challenging language. Because much of the English that your child will study (especially in their later years, in junior and senior high school) is focused on grammar and translation, many students have poor listening abilities and are often very shy to speak in an unfamiliar language. Our challenge is to instill in young learners the interest, enthusiasm and ultimately, the confidence to learn and succeed in English.
東信的英語學習一直希望給孩子一個正面而快樂的學習環境，提高學生的學習樂趣、熱誠、與學習英語的自信心。誠如大家所知，當進入國、高中後，英語學習會專注在文法與翻譯上，易造成學生在聽說能力上的不足。
In addition to our set curriculum of basic conversation skills, introductory phonics and beginning vocabulary, our students will be exposed to language as spoken by native English speakers, participate in hands-on activities and take an active approach to their learning that gives purpose and meaning to their English learning.
在本校，除了課程的基本能力要求外，我們會設計一個與外師直接接觸、學習的環境，讓學生藉由活動參與，無形中多元接觸外國文化，提升美語能力。
With your help and support, your child can be better prepared to meet this challenge. You can encourage your child to regularly review their materials, both text and CD. Reading aloud (at least 2 times each week) will help build speaking confidence. Ask to see your child's textbook. Near the end of each semester we will send home your child's writing notebook and English Passport (of dialogs and phrases) for you to review with your child.
孩子需要您的幫助，您可以在家鼓勵孩子複習學過的英語課程、檢視作業、鼓勵學生每週聽英語CD至少兩次，陪孩子大聲朗誦英語。在學期末，我們會發回學生的習作、作業與英語護照，您都可以協助學生再做複習。
Most importantly, listen to your child. Have meaningful conversations with your child and be patient and positive. Know that learning a new language is a lifelong endeavor.
更重要的一點，英文對剛起步的孩子而言，是一門全新的語文課，它需要您多ㄧ點的耐心與陪伴、多ㄧ點的鼓勵 ■
