狄克森美語課程 – Courses
本頁總結了我們為學生提供的不同課程。
狄克森美語為 6 至 16 歲的學生提供英語語言課程。我們根據年齡將這些群體分為五個不同的組別：
- 小學前
學前班的課程著重於字母、發音以及閱讀和故事的早期發展。學生們做藝術和手工專案、玩遊戲並用英語相互交流。整個課程只鼓勵使用英語。每週上課兩次，每次持續 90 分鐘，中間有方便的休息時間。課程內容依班級的年齡和經驗而有所不同。
- K1-2（7-8歲）
對於小學低年級的學生，這些課程提供基礎文法（現在式、有/有等）、家庭和學校必備詞彙，以及閱讀、寫作、口語和聽力四項技能的堅實基礎。每週上課兩次，每次持續 90 分鐘，中間有方便的休息時間。課程教材是《探索我們的世界 1》和《探索我們的世界 2》。
- K3-4（9-10歲）
對於已經完成 K1-2 基礎單元的學生，這些課程透過更複雜的結構、更深入的詞彙鞏固和擴展語言和技能，學生的技能得到很大的提升。每週上課兩次，每次持續 120 分鐘，中間有方便的休息時間。課程教材是《探索我們的世界 3》和《4》。
- K5-6（11-12歲）
這些級別可以被視為高級程度的書籍，學生可以透過這些書籍開始更深入地體驗、理解和使用英語。詞彙、語言和技能的發展通常超過國中課程的技能。孩子們的自信心也增強了。 每週上課兩次，每次持續 120 分鐘，中間有方便的休息時間。課程教材是《我們的世界 4》、《5》和《6》。
國中課程
我們為已完成學校 K 系列課程的學生提供課程，但我們也錄取滿足這些級別要求的學生。初中課程鼓勵學生取得優異成績，並指導學生參加正式考試（學校和 GEPT 考試）和終身學習英語。每週上課一至兩次，每次120至180分鐘，中間有方便的休息時間。
這些課程的畢業生將進入台灣一些最好的學校、學院和大學。大多數完成我們的通用英語能力考試預備 (GEPT) 課程的學生也通過參加和通過 GEPT 獲得了國家對其能力的認可。我們的 GEPT 通過率不言而喻：超過 80% 的學生通過了 GEPT，其中許多學生獲得了最高排名。相比之下，全國平均略低於 40%。
其他課程：閱讀、寫作、語言、藝術與手工藝、私人課程等。
我們確實會為特定群體的學生或客戶偶爾提供針對其中一個或多個領域的額外課程。請透過我們的聯絡表格詢問詳細資訊。
一般說明
每學期為24課程或12週，每本級別教材約4~6個學期。其他課程則根據所選材料而有所不同。如需了解完整資訊、面試安排和日程安排，請與我們聯絡。
This pages summarizes the different courses we provide for students.
Dickson English School offers English language courses for students aged from 6 to 16 years old. We divide these groups by age into five distinct groups:
1. Pre-Elementary School
Pre-Elementary School classes focus on Alphabet, Pronunciation, and early development of reading and stories. Students do arts and crafts projects, play games and interact with each other in English. English only is encouraged throughout the class. Classes are twice weekly, each lasting 90 minutes with a convenient break in the middle. Course texts vary depending on the age and experience of this class.
2. K1-2 (Aged 7-8)
For students who are in the early years of Elementary School, these courses provide basic grammar (Present Tense, There is/are, etc.), essential vocabulary items for home and school, and a strong foundation in the four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Classes are twice weekly, each lasting 90 minutes with a convenient break in the middle. Course texts are Explore Our World 1 & 2.
3. K3-4 (Aged 9-10)
For students who have already completed the foundation units in K1-2, these courses consolidate and expand the language and skills with more complex structures, depth in vocabulary and students experience a great improvement in their skills. Classes are twice weekly, each lasting 120 minutes with a convenient break in the middle. Course texts are Explore Our World 3 & 4.
4. K5-6 (Aged 11-12)
These levels can be considered the advanced level books, in which students begin to experience, understand and use English in much greater depth. Vocabulary, language and skills develop generally exceed those skills in the Junior High School programs. Children also experience an increase in their confidence levels. Classes are twice weekly, each lasting 120 minutes with a convenient break in the middle. Course texts are Our World 4, 5 & 6.
Junior High School Programs
We provide courses for students who have completed the K-Series of programs in our school, though we do admit students who satisfy our requirements for these levels. Junior High School Programs encourage students to excel in their achievements and direct students to both formal exams (school and GEPT exams) and lifelong acquisition of English. Classes are once or twice weekly, each lasting 120~180 minutes with convenient breaks in the middle.
Our graduates from these programs go on to some of the best schools, colleges and Universities in Taiwan. Most of them who complete our General English Proficiency Test Preparation (GEPT) courses also achieve national recognition of their competence by competing in and passing GEPT. Our pass rates in GEPT speak for themselves with over 80% of our students passing GEPT and many achieving the highest rankings. This compares to a national average of just under 40%.
Other Courses: Reading, Writing, Language, Arts & Crafts, Private Classes, etc.
We do provide occasional additional courses focusing on one or more of these areas for specific groups of students or clients. Inquire for details on our contact form.
General Notes
Each class semester is 24 classes or twelve weeks, and each Level Course Book lasts about 4~6 semesters. Other courses vary depending on the materials chosen. For full information, placement interviews, and scheduling, please contact us.
