Q1

哈罗上海的英语课程目标是什么？

哈罗上海的英语课程通过强调批判性思维、跨学科学习以及阅读热情来培养卓越能力。课程体系严谨、富有创造性和挑战性，致力于在各个学习阶段激发学生潜力。

Q2

学习英语文学

对提升其他学科有什么帮助？

英语文学是A Level学科的绝佳选择，因为它涵盖了与高中12、13年级学习经验相关的许多技能，帮助学生解读文本意义，探索角色、主题和叙事，并从更广泛的学术视角理解作品的背景和批评观点。例如，12年级的英语文学课堂在研究《热铁皮屋顶上的猫》时，除了探讨剧作家田纳西·威廉斯如何构建角色、情节和主题外，学生还会讨论20世纪50年代的美国社会、政治背景以及社会规范如何影响作品的创作和角色命运。

Q3

哈罗上海A Level英语文学课程

体验是怎样的？

该课程采用研讨会形式，提供学生主导的讨论和展示机会。学生在探索挑战性故事的过程中，培养阅读热情，并表达独特而真实的观点。课程注重语言与结构如何传递意义、作家如何构思创意以及文本的历史背景如何影响其发展和接受度。学生通过不断的讨论和辩论提升写作能力，从GCSE阶段迈向学术写作的更高水平。他们将成为优秀的学术写作者、批评者和文本研究专家。课程要求严格，鼓励学生进行广泛阅读、撰写高质量文章并进行深入研究。哈罗上海的学生始终表现出旺盛的求知欲，而英语学科团队乐于满足他们的学习需求。

广泛阅读

“广泛阅读，阅读超越课程范围的内容，

会加深理解并激发创造力。”

积极参与

“参与讨论，探索不同观点。”

接受反馈

“建设性批评是成长的关键。”

保持热情

“记住你热爱这门学科的初衷，

这将成为你的动力源泉。”

祝贺Helen取得如此卓越的成就！

愿她的故事继续激励未来的哈罗学子。

Q1

What is the goal of the English curriculum at Harrow Shanghai?

Harrow Shanghai's English programme fosters excellence by emphasising critical thinking, interdisciplinary learning, and a love of reading. The curriculum is robust, creative, and ambitious, challenging learners at every stage of school.

Q2

How does studying A Level English Literature support and enhance learning in other subjects?

English Literature is a fantastic choice for any pupil at A Level, as a subject it draws on many skills connected to their Sixth Form learning experience, developing the ability to read for meaning, explore characters, themes and narratives whilst learning more about contextual landscapes and applying wider academic perspectives from the critical world. If a pupil chooses English at A Level, they also metaphorically choose History, Geography, Politics, Economics and so many more as our lessons encapsulate all these disciplines.

A Year 12 English Literature lesson exploring the famous play ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ will explore the playwright Tennessee Williams’ development of character, plotline and themes, but pupils will also debate life in 1950s America, what shapes and informs the political landscape, how societal expectations and norms are challenged and adhered to and how the experience of a character in a play is shaped by said landscape.

Q3

What makes the A Level English Literature course a unique and rewarding experience for students?

A Level English Literature is seminar based, with frequent opportunities for student-led discussion and presentation. Pupils will develop their love and passion for reading, whilst exploring stories that will challenge them, divide opinions and give them space to share their own personal and authentic responses. It is a study of how language and structure shapes meaning, how ideas are created, how a reader responds to a text, what a writer intends to show and how life at the time the story is created hugely impacts the development and reception of the text itself. This is done through constant discussion, debate, discussion and debate. Pupils will hone their essay writing skills in a way that stretches their capabilities from GCSE. They learn to become academic writers, critics of their own and others’ writing and experts in the field of their studied texts. The course is rigorous, with high standards of expectation for wider reading, essays and research but our students thrive and have an insatiable appetite for more, which the English Faculty are more than happy to deliver!
