Salad English | Enjoy Learning | Enjoy Life
青浦协和的英语组老师们，不管是线下教学还是线上授课，始终秉承 “SALAD 理念”，即 “轻食” 风潮，犹如享受美食的同时，又不承受过重的消化负担。我们的英语课程也力求为学生烹制像色拉一般的美食，可口又营养，却感觉不到过多的学习压力。与此同时我们为学生提供平台，让孩子有机会尝试 SALAD 中每个字母所代表的角色，热爱生活，热爱学习。
Whether it’s offline teaching or online teaching, the English group in SUIS Qingpu will adhere to the idea of Salad English, leading the trend of ‘light food’, which not only lets the body enjoy the indulgence of delicious food, prevents the body from feeling the burden of digesting so much. Our English course also aims to prepare wonderful food like a salad for students: Not only do students’ bodies absorb the nutrition of their repast, but also the pressure to learn so much is reduced. Meanwhile, it provides students with a platform to try the role of each letter in Salad, so as to love life and learning.
一年级 GRADE 1
色彩发现生活之美
Discovering the beauty of life with colours
生活无处不色彩 The wrold is colourful！我们鼓励学生们发现身边的颜色之美，并用英语去介绍身边的美好事物。心爱的玩具，自己创作的画作，衣橱里珍藏的时装，后院的美丽花朵，都是我们抒发心情，畅所欲言的素材。让我们拿起自己的心爱之物，用英语把自己对于生活的热爱分享给别人吧！
The world is a colourful place. We encourage our students to discover the beauty of colours and use English to introduce these beautiful things around them. Beloved toys, paintings we have created, fashion in our wardrobe, gorgeous flowers in the back yard… these are all materials from which we draw inspiration from to express our feelings.
二年级 GRADE 2
语音语调装点生活乐章
Melody of life: authentic pronunciation and tone
二年级的学生在老师的推荐下欣赏了一段段美妙的配音，并进行模仿。我们鼓励学生把所学的配音知识运用到实际学习中，鼓励学生在家一人分饰两角练习课文配音，并通过在线交流，分角色完成课本剧的现场配音。在整个过程中，培养了学生对英语配音和戏剧的兴趣，也提高了学生对语音语调的追求，生活的乐章因抑扬顿挫的语言而更动听！
Grade 2 students were asked to enjoy a wonderful dubbing show and replicate it. We encouraged students to apply their knowledge of dubbing into practical learning. Students were encouraged to practice by role-playing two characters at home, and to complete the live dubbing of the textbook through online communication. Throughout the entire process, students’ interest in English dubbing and drama were cultivated, and students’ pursuit of intonation were also improved. The melody of life was brought into harmony through lovely language. Let us appreciate the “beauty” of Grade 2 together!
三年级 GRADE 3
分享回忆，回味生活
Sharing memories, remembering life
在我们成长过程中一定有许多的第一次，这些特殊的瞬间，或留存在我们的脑海，或成为相片、录像，凝固成珍贵的回忆。三年级学生们运用一般过去时和描述心情的形容词试着回味有趣的事情。在镜头前通过演讲和家人、同学、老师分享，将学习从书本延伸到生活。
In growing up, we experience so many things for the first time. These special moments – either kept in our mind or having become photographs – remain forever as our precious memories. Using the past tense and mood-specific adjectives, Grade 3 students presented their fun and lively stories to parents, classmates and teachers. Linking their textbook knowledge to their daily lives, their sense of connection to the world around them through the foreign language allowed them to fall in love anew with English.
四年级 GRADE 4
关注健康，感恩 “逆行者”，自制 Brochure & Itinerary
Paying attention to health and being grateful for the “heroes in harm’s way”
在没有疫情的时候，旅行或许已成了生活的一部分，但当疫情肆虐时，关注健康才是我们生活的头等大事，所以我们鼓励学生学习和防疫有关的知识并通过制作手册（Brochure）来宣传防疫。看到抗疫第一线医护人员的辛勤工作，孩子们想要表达对“逆行者”的感恩，纷纷设计上海三日游的旅行路线（Itinerary）期待“逆行者”的归来。通过学习和动手绘制，大家认识到 Brochure 和 Itinerary 两种载体的区别。
Tourism is an integral part of a happy life when there is no barrier to travel. However, when disease is raging throughout the world, health becomes the top priority in our lives. That’s the reason why we encourage students to learn knowledge related to sickness prevention and publicize prevention methods through brochures. At the same time, we also acknowledge the hard work of medical staff who are struggling on the front line of this battle. In order to express our heartfelt gratitude to these “heroes in harm’s way”, we encourage students to design a three-day itinerary in Shanghai for the medical staff to return safely. Through online communication, students not only feel the difference between brochures and itinerary, but also pay attention to health and express their gratitude.

“停课不停学” 让孩子们的卧室变成了教室，学习和生活终于在时空中融为一体。小学部英语组觉得这是一个契机，一个让学生通过英语学习来热爱生活，回味生活，关注生活，感恩生活的契机。把握这个契机的关键在于如何利用这次学习时空的转变来设计学习任务，使得学习任务在有序、有趣、有效的同时模糊生活与学习的界线，让学生和知识的关系变成 “取之于书本，用之于生活”。
Classes may be suspended, but learning goes on! Studying in their bedrooms instead of the classroom, students are learning to orient their new method of learning in space and time. The Primary School English Department believes this is a great time to love, cherish and focus on life through English learning. The key to grasping this opportunity is how to adapt our learning tasks to meet the new status quo. Learning in an ordered, interesting and effective way can help students blur the lines between life and learning, so that the relationship between students and knowledge will become a relationship of “Taking from books; Use in life.”
