NEW G.I.S. FILM ON ENGLISH TEA HING
Miss Diana Kwong and her class of nine-year-old students from Hill
Road Primary School, Pokfulam, will tomorrow (Tuesday) be seeing for the first time the film they helped the Government Information Services make
recently.
This film, "Teaching English As A Second Language In Primary Schools,"
which was made for G.I.S. by Farkas Productions, shows a new approach in
teaching a second language.
Although the principles upon which this method is based are
universally accepted, this 15-minute film differs from films of a similar nature in that it shows a complete lesson, rather than confining itself to
aspects of language teaching.
Other films have shown teachers giving instruction in their own
mother-tongue, but in this film a large class of Chinese pupils are shown
being taught English by a Chinese teacher.
The film will be used not only in Hong Kong, but it is expected
that it will be used all over the world in countries where English is taught
as a second language.

You are cordially invited to watch this new G.I.S. production with the students at 11:00 am, tomorrow on the 5th floor, G.I.S., Beaconsfield House,
Release Time:
6.30 p.m.
