English Language Department

The English Department at Concordia Lutheran School is dedicated to creating a language-rich environment that cultivates excellence in English. Our team of devoted educators develops a wealth of school-based materials tailored to suit students' particular needs and cater to learner diversity. We harness e-learning tools to make instruction interactive and engaging, instilling a love for learning. Our goal is to empower students to become confident English communicators, equipped to thrive on the global stage.

In addition to our core English curriculum, we actively promote language across the curriculum. We believe that language proficiency is not confined to English classes alone but is integral to all subjects. Our teachers collaborate closely with their colleagues in other departments to integrate language skills seamlessly into their lessons. By emphasizing the importance of effective communication, critical thinking, and analytical skills across all disciplines, we create a holistic learning experience that reinforces the relevance and application of language in every aspect of our students' education. This cross-curricular approach ensures that our students develop a strong foundation in English, empowering them to excel academically and communicate effectively in any field they pursue.

We also implement values education and national security education through interactive activities in our English classes. By incorporating thought-provoking discussions, role-playing scenarios, and multimedia projects, we encourage students to explore and internalize important values such as integrity, respect, and civic responsibility. Additionally, we raise awareness about national security issues, fostering a sense of patriotism and preparedness. Through this holistic approach, we aim to develop well-rounded individuals who are not only proficient in English but also embody strong moral character and are committed to the well-being of their nation.
