| Introduction | Starting March 2010, we launched a 10-week English enhancement course - ACE Course, using the Bible to introduce Western arts and culture and everyday expressions. Each lesson centres around a Bible passage rich with idiomatic expressions or literary devices. At the same time It carries a specific theme (e.g. temptation, love) to stimulate meaningful discussion among students. Each lesson lasts from 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the depth of discussion. Students generally become more interested in the English language, the Bible and Christianity after attending the course, according to our survey. Their creativity in using the language is also greatly increased. We have published the course materials entitled ACE Course: Learn Arts, Culture and English Expressions through the Bible. A set of coursebook consists of the teacher’s edition and student’s edition. They are now available in Christian bookstores in Hong Kong. |
