Boston International School is proud of its high-quality English language education.
In elementary school, we have launched the Word Wizard program, a progression of reading, writing, listening, and speaking the English language.
With the solid foundation laid in the early stage of their learning experience, students enter secondary school with strong English capabilities. This gives them an extended horizon in which to explore the beauty of English language arts.
波士顿国际学校提供高质量的英语语言文学课程。
在小学部，我们开设了“文字魔法师”项目，旨在培养和提高学生在英语语言方面的听说读写能力。
得益于学习早期阶段打下的坚实英语基础，学生在进入中学部后，就有更广阔的视野和更大的空间去探索英语语言文学艺术之美。
From this academic year, BIS has introduced SpringBoard English Language Arts as a syllabus for MYP. It is a vertically aligned with our English language course for Grades 6 - 10. SpringBoard’s aim is for students to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills through close observation and analysis of texts, evidence-based writing, higher-order questioning, and engaging academic conversation.
从本学年起，我校引入了SpringBoard英语语言文学，作为MYP英语教学指导大纲。SpringBoard大纲与我们六——十年级的英语课程相匹配，旨在通过对文本的精度和解析培养学生的批判性思考能力、问题解决能力、论证性写作能力、高阶的质疑能力和学术对话能力。
What does this mean for our students at BIS? It means that when our students enter the Diploma Program they will have read and analyzed a wide range of texts in genres including poetry, novels, plays, biographies, nonfiction narratives, speeches, and films. They will also have learnt to write in forms including essays, personal narratives, argumentative texts such as editorials, and research papers. This comprehensive exposure will ensure our students are prepared for the rigors of their final two years of high school. This curriculum aims to have students take ownership of what they learn, providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary for college and career readiness.
对于学生来说，这意味着在他们进入DP阶段的学习前，他们已经阅读和分析了多种体裁的文学作品，包括诗歌、小说、戏剧、传记、散文、演说、剧本等等。他们还会学习论文写作、记叙文、论文（社论、研究报告等），充分为后两年DP阶段的学习做准备。我们希望学生掌握学习方法，对自己的学习负责，同时确保为他们提供大学期间和职业生涯必备的知识和技能。
Grades 6 - 10 have recently completed their first units using SpringBoard. We are happy to exhibit some of their works.
目前，六-十年级学生已经完成了他们SpringBoard英语文学课程的第一单元学习。以下是部分作品的展示。

九年级学生学习了“细节讲述”，他们要依据现实经历或想象，运用大量的记叙文写作技巧，按照合理的顺序讲述事件和有关细节。
