Vision

A Christian school where girls blossom into people of goodness, righteousness, and excellence

with an unswerving quest for truth

Mission

In the wake of countless, dedicated True Light pioneers and partakers, our mission is to inspire

our female generations to unrelentingly pursue knowledge, unreservedly develop their talents

and leadership, unswervingly uphold biblical values and unconditionally render service to the

needy, in particular to the people of our homeland.

School Motto

"Thou Art the Light of the World."

(Live like Jesus Christ, love others and glorify God.)

History

Ms. Harriet Noyes, the founder of our school, was a missionary from America. She established the

True Light Seminary in Guangzhou in 1872. Upholding the Christian spirit of love, kindness and

persistence, Ms. Noyes was the first person to provide education and ministry to women in South

China. In 1949, Principal Ma Yi Ying relocated the school to Hong Kong and renamed it "Kowloon

True Light Middle School". The school continues her vision for women's education – to promote

Chinese culture and cultivate all-rounded Christian values for girls and women through education.

Besides the normal lessons in the timetables, we have the English Academy, morning

D. Medium of Instruction and Policy

MOI Policy

Starting from the year 2010, we have 6 subjects using EMI and we try to use Putongua to

teach Chinese in junior forms. In the future, when they are promoted to senior forms, their

NSS subjects (except LS, VA & Chinese related subjects) will be conducted in English and

they will take the English papers in the HKDSE.

To prepare students and teachers to face the fine-tuned policy of MOI

1. Refined English Enhancement Scheme (1m) --- HKU Consultancy

It is the first year of implementing the Refined English Enhancement Scheme. Consultancy

service on enriching students’ and teachers’ academic English has been obtained from the

HKU. A 3-year Language Across Curriculum Project has been started. HKU’s Professor Lin

and Ms Tracy Cheung ran a teacher workshop about Academic Literacy for all teachers on

29th August, 2011, and a student reading workshop for all S1 students on 16th January, 2012.

Ms Cheung comes regularly, at least twice a month, to collaborate with our teachers to

develop a Curriculum Bridging Programme adopting L2 Literacy Enrichment Approach in S1

Integrated Science and Geography. She also gave a talk about LAC and Project Learning

Skills in junior form school assembly on 8th February, 2012. She was appointed the

consultant of the Summer Pre-S1 LAC Bridging Programme that was held from 23rd – 27th

July, 2012. It is hoped that with such expertise both students’ and teachers’ academic

English will be enhanced.

Deliverables: School-based Curriculum Materials and workshops for students and teacher

development.

School-based LAC curriculum & teaching materials

10 modules of school-based LAC curriculum materials were designed and produced during

the first year. For easy reference and further development, all materials were saved in the

school’s Intranet and made available to all teachers in the school.

School-based Pre S1 Summer LAC Bridging Programme

In addition to the school-based LAC curriculum materials, the SRA and subject teachers also

produced a teaching pack for the summer LAC bridging programme. Throughout the

whole process, the SRA acted as a coordinator among Vice Principal Mr Liu and subject

panel heads/teachers; the task force created a more than 10-page course materials for the

bridging programme, aiming to create a smooth transition for students from learning in a

CMI environment to learning in an EMI environment in the secondary school.

Through meetings and feedback sessions, first-hand opportunities were created for

teachers to enhance their understanding on LAC, the role and importance of academic

literacy and how to support students to learn in English across the curriculum.

Workshops for students and teacher development

Other than the development of curriculum materials, several workshops for students and

teachers were conducted.

Saturday tutorials for 1A and EMI classes

1A groups

The two groups taught by Ms Mandy Cheung were students from F.1A who learned most

subjects in Chinese. The aim of this group was to prepare students for learning other

subjects in English.

EMI group

The EMI group taught by Mr Brian Yang consisted of students who were the bottom 20 from

F.1B, F.1C and F.1D according to the ranking of their English tests or exams. The class

aimed at helping them to build a better foundation to catch up with the learning in an EMI

environment. Mr Yang commented that the participants in the course showed a high level

of enthusiasm as they took their work more seriously this year compared to last year.

They paid full attention most of the time and asked questions when confused. Indeed, Mr

Yang tried to introduce more interactive activities to maintain their interest. He also

added more writing sessions and marked students’ written work. He noticed marked

improvement in the final writing exercise that students did.

S1 Form Assembly Kick-off Ceremony

All S1 students were trained to perform an excerpt of the musical called “Sound of Music”

by a professional coach in the S1 Form Assembly Kick-off Ceremony. The students’

performance was highly appreciated.

2. EDB Support

It was the second year of getting the EDB’s Language Learning Support. Cross-curricular

collaboration was made between the English Department and Geography Department.

The learning outcomes in form of student presentations about Natural Disasters were

impressive. Students could master the graphic organizer to state the cause-and-effect

relationship clearly, the sentence patterns to explain their feelings accurately and I.T. skills to

present the impacts of natural force vividly in pairs in class and in the form assembly.

3. iPad Project

An iPad project about trees, birds and butterflies was launched with the collaboration with

Environment Education Committee. F.4 students attended the exhibition held in the

school hall and wrote 50 words about a picture in the exhibition to share their reflection.

It was a stimulating experience as iPads were used for getting information and

disseminating thoughts.

Student Support and School Ethos

“Born to Love” was the theme of the year in 2011-12. A lot of activities were held to enhance

our students’ love towards school, peers, Hong Kong and China. “Love” was the theme for board

displays, posters, slogans, several morning assemblies and school assemblies too.

In order to nurture class spirit, a better sense of belonging to school and establish better

teacher-student relationship, the class teachers had individual and group counseling with

students in “Buzzing Time” and “Secret Moments”. Each classroom was decorated in a unique

way, showing their team spirit, love and care towards their classmates. Different posters and

encouraging words were seen in senior classes before examinations.

A. Spiritual Development

a. Spiritual Nourishment

We have a list of gatherings organized by various spiritual groups, including “Bible

Society”, “Spiritual Sharing”, “Bible Study Group”, “Hymns Sharing Fellowship” and

“Christian Fellowship”. The committee members of the Fellowship plan and share to

encourage concrete practices on nurturing students’ spiritual growth.

110 students joined the joint school Gospel Camp with True Light Girls’ College, and

several girls decided to follow Jesus and spread the Gospel in their life time after the

camp.

Publications, such as “愛生命、愛香港-人物見証集” vol. 1-3, “Catch”, “Angel’s Heart”,

“Breakazine”, “Christian Weekly” and “Christian Times”, are displayed in the school

library. Spiritual VCDs are also available on loan by students. In addition, our school

website provides useful links, such as the “Daily Bread” and “中信月刋”, to nourish the

spiritual life of students.

b. Life Education

On Monday Assembly, hymn singing and Christian life sharing were regularly

scheduled.

Over 200 students, parents, teachers and staff members joined to see the movie《挪亞

方舟驚世啟示 2》at “The Grand” cinema.

Our Chaplain made efforts, in guidance of etiquette, to polish our True Light GEM and

the services and ceremonies provided, such as the Christmas and Easter Services,

educational service, the Graduation Evening Service, the School Opening and the

Year-End Ceremonies.

The joint school True Light 140th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service was provided at the

Queen Elizabeth Stadium with our students acting as MCs. Another thanksgiving

service was also organised at our school hall with our Principal sharing with us the

Page 13: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 11

Words of Thanks, reinforcing the mission and vision of True Light.

During the Gospel Week, we set up various stalls that aimed to enhance students’

experience in spiritual education, through participation in activities like the Choral

Anthem, the worship team and dances. Students could also enjoy a movie and a

CTV programme. In addition, a talk on evangelism was given by Ms. Yoki Wong of

the “Fire (火窰) Evangelism Ministry” and there was sharing by Ms. Dora Lai on the

movie “Life so Good - Are You Really Happy?”.

c. Leadership Training

Our Chaplain helped develop students’ leadership skills by training some to serve as

MCs in various ceremonies and getting students involved in planning fellowship

activities.

The Worship Team was not only in charge of the hymn singing on Monday but also took

active participation in the Hymns Sharing Fellowship. The Student Fellowship

Committee members had once put up a great musical, “I Can”, in the school assembly.

The Winter Conference was held with theme-based talks and workshops.

Representatives were sent to join the training day camps organised by the Gifted

Education and the Underachieved Committee to boost their ability in solving problems

and foster their sense of responsibility.

Student representatives of the Fellowship joined the 140th Anniversary Tour to

Guangzhou to exchange experiences with other True Light members.

d. Social Care and Voluntary Service

We support the mission of HKCCC to spread God’s love by raising funds for the poor

through selling charity vouchers and serving the socially vulnerable groups.

On Parents’ Day, religious books were displayed and religious activities were also held.

Both teachers and students were excited about their Christmas caroling in Hong Kong

Baptist Hospital.

We visited the elderly with gifts at HK True Light Villa District Elderly Community Centre

and Kwun Tong Day Care Centre, to perform Cantonese opera, Chinese dance,

orchestra music, and deliver the Bible message. The Centre presented us with a

“Certificate of Thanks” and our fellowship staff attended the Thanksgiving Ceremony

for Volunteers.

e. Support for Parents

Bi-weekly meetings were held for the Parents’ Study Group, with our Chaplain sharing

with them message and advice of the Scriptures.

A talk on evangelism was conducted for parents. The preacher, Ms Lau Shuk Wah of

Yuen Long Baptist Church, shared her witness and message of the Scriptures.

Page 14: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 12

B. Whole-school Approach to Guidance & Discipline

a. Leadership training

The prefect training this year was an outdoor orienteering activity instead of an indoor

seminar we used to have. Teamwork and problem solving skills were the focus of this

training. Feedbacks from students and teacher advisors were positive.

There have been close connections with groups within and outside school. Some

prefects participated in training programs from outside by enrolling through the

Education for the Gifted and the Underachieved Committee. Some other prefects

shared their essays in ICAC publications.

b. Personal growth

A homework collection policy was implemented in the second term in response to the

needs of students and teachers. Follow up procedures included running detention

classes, operating suspension periods for needy students and referring them to the

Learning and Teaching Committee. The Self Improvement Scheme also helped

weaker students to achieve goals in keeping self-discipline.

c. Activities for all

We treasure all kinds of resources that help to cultivate the personal growth of our

students. With the help of our school social workers, an education psychologist and a

police sergeant, various activities were held throughout the year for students and

parents. These activities included talks, seminars, exhibitions, game stalls, Police

Magazines broadcasting, etc. on different topics.

d. S1 Orientation

S1 students need support and guidance from the school to get used to a new

environment. Apart from the S1 Orientation Day, a Growth Camp was organized for

the new comers to help them experience True Light life. Through participating in

various activities organized by our education psychologist, social workers and different

parties at school, students understood more about our school rules, the proper

manner at school and our expectation for students.

C. Careers Guidance

a. JUPAS, S6 & S7 Counselling

Different workshops and talks were held for S6 and S7 students prior to the JUPAS

application period.

Ten S6 students were nominated for admission to three local universities (HKU, CUHK

and HKUST).

Three S7 and four S6 students joined the Principal Nomination Scheme.

Counselling was provided for both parents and students on Parents’ Day before the

release of the HKDSE results. An HKDSE Handbook was published to help them

understand different prospects for students with different learning abilities.

A Careers Camp was organized for S6 students in June. Various experiential activities

were organized to strengthen their characters when facing any adversities.

Page 15: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 13

b. OLE, SLP & Testimonials

Testimonials for both S6 and S7 students and S6 students’ SLP were released together

with their school report cards in May.

c. Other Careers Counselling

Some talks and workshops were organized by the Hong Kong Federation of Youth

Groups for planning the career paths of our students.

(S4: My Plan, S5: My Dream, S6: My Type)

Our alumnae gave sharing on different careers with our students:

(S6: My Future)

Each student at S3 and S4 finished a career exploration project. They were requested

to choose a career or someone they knew and find out how they set their career paths,

how they faced problems and how they made their success.

About 10 talks, respectively on Overseas Studies, Studies in Mainland China,

Sub-degree courses and other job-related training courses, were given to S4-S7

students.

d. S3 Streaming

The subject combination and selection criteria have been revised. Students can take

2X, 3X or 2X with one Mathematics Extended Module (M1) in S4.

A Mock Streaming practice was held for S3 students in March.

A Parents’ Day was held in May.

D. Talent Development

To meet the goal of enhancing our students’ whole-person development, we offer a

comprehensive curriculum and a wide range of extra-curricular activities to cater for

individual interest. There has been a wide variety of summer exchange programmes,

cross-border services and exchange programmes, historical excursions, multi-intelligence

programmes, joint school functions, leadership training and camping. To develop students’

leadership skills, Student Union, Student Fellowship, School Ambassador Schemes have

been organized by students to foster their sense of belonging to the school.

E. Social Service and National Education

To cultivate a sense of belonging towards school, we organized different trips to Guangzhou

True Light School. Those who joined in March could observe lessons provided in the

Mainland while the student representatives who visited all TL schools in Guangzhou in April

could compare schools in the two different cities and experience what True Light spirit

means.

F. Health Education

The Health Education Committee has just been established and, with the help of health

ambassadors, we can promote Health Education through various activities. Students have

learnt a lot through joining a food labeling award scheme and cooperating with other team

members. The leadership training programme offers a good opportunity for students to

equip themselves.

The Health Policy Handbook serves as a guideline for health related issues for both teachers

and students. A slogan writing competition has been held to promote cleanliness.

Through the broadcast of a radio programme and the Campus TV programme, students do

not only know more about keeping fit and food labeling but also dispel some common

misconceptions.

G. Environmental Education

Our school has implemented various environmental policies and activities to enhance

students’ environmental awareness and develop positive attitudes in order to be

responsible citizens. We do these in view of a sustainable development.

Our environmental policies are as follows:

a. To review the school-based environmental policy and promote the green lifestyles among

staff and students

Apart from publishing a booklet on KTLS environmental policy, we integrated and

implemented environmental education in various subjects. We retained the green campus

Page 17: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 15

and labeled all the plants at school. We also set up some devices for environmental

protection in classrooms, such as a recycling collection box, a thermometer indicating room

temperature and some environmental protection tips on the board.

Thus, students were not only encouraged to recycle plastic bottles, aluminum cans, papers,

batteries and ink boxes but also to reduce food waste.

b. To join the SEPAS programmes to train environmental protection ambassadors’ leadership

skills through organizing a variety of environmental protection activities

Various activities like “Environmental Protection Day”, New Lyrics Writing Competition,

Slogan Competition and Quiz and a photo exhibition on biodiversity called “Art and Science

of Trees, Birds and Butterflies” and ”The One Person, One Flower Scheme” were organized

to raise students’ awareness on conservation. We hope to see more environmentalists at

school after visiting the Chinese White dolphins and joining different excursions to Fung

Yuen Butterfly Reserve in Tai Po.

c. To cooperate with other organizations and apply for funding in order to build a green

sustainable campus

We successfully applied for the “HK Electric Clean Energy Fund 2011/2012” to install the

solar panels and the “Environmental and Conservation Fund”, for an energy saving project

of installing the White Roof on the rooftop.

H. SEN

Four students have been identified as having special education needs, with hearing

impairment or learning difficulties. After attending different workshops organized by

professional bodies, they have developed better confidence and enhanced their study skills

and thus better academic performance is expected.

I. Financial Support

About 100 students with financial difficulties received subsidies from “The Hong Kong

Jockey Club Life-wide Learning Fund” and “Shiu Wai Ming Learning Fund”. They could join

various activities such as excursions to Nanjiang or Australia and the Summer English

courses. A few students could enjoy free lunch meals and more than 60 students could

receive E-class subsidy of $500 at the beginning of the next school term.

Page 29: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 27

Support for students

Reflection

Students have made improvement through preparing for and performing in English

Morning Assemblies.

In this school year, we will modify the materials of the Pre-S1 Bridging Programme

and the whole course will be conducted by our own teachers.

The attendance of the English Academy was voluntary based. Some students were

absent.

The participation of higher form students in English Activities was low. More

encouragement has to be given.

Should strengthen the content of the English Speaking Days and the Putonghua Day.

Some students say that the English Builder is not very useful to them.

Our students only use simple English during the lessons.

Continue to invite professional institutes to develop LAC in different subjects next

year.

Continue to encourage more teachers to take the training courses on using English

to teach non-English subjects.

Students will be streamed into different classes according to their English ability and

value-added lessons in Chinese, English and Mathematics will be provided.

Should require more written responses to essay type questions in

tests/examinations.

Teachers should instruct their students to read textbooks and underline key points.

Should increase the chance of using English in lessons.

P. 28

Priority Task 2: To cultivate personal growth with special emphasis on love and care, leadership

training and value education

Achievements

We believe that all students have different potentials and it is the responsibility of the school to

develop them into full so that they can grow to be people of goodness, righteousness, and

excellence with an unswerving quest for truth. Our theme of the year is “Born to Love” and

different activities have been held to enhance students’ love and care towards school, peers,

Hong Kong and China.

First of all, the Personal Growth Handbook has been re-named “Carpe Diem” meaning

“Grasping the Day”. It includes different inspiring articles, quotes by famous people,

academic and non-academic records, reflection and comments from teachers, peers and

parents.

In order to nurture a better sense of belonging to school and class spirit, the class

teachers have individual and group counseling with students in “Buzzing Time” and

“Secret Moments”. Most students have positive feedback on this because this can help

establish better teacher-student relationship. About 10 classes have designed their

class T-shirts and they are happy to wear them on Sports Day, Games Day and Picnic Day.

They strive for excellence so that they can have more chances to wear them. Different

posters and encouraging words are seen in senior classes before examinations.

To develop students’ leadership skills, the SU has been revitalized. Four cabinets joined

the SU election and shared their proposed policies in an open forum. Apart from

routine activities like Christmas celebration or Casual Wear Day, the SU has organized a

Games Day to develop class spirit. All these have been met with applause from both

teachers and students.

To rejuvenate Sister-forms, different assemblies have been included. While S.6 students

shared with S.3 girls their strategies for or their experience in choosing their NSS subjects,

S.3 students showed their support to S.6 schoolmates prior to the public examinations.

Thus, sister-hood spirit is enhanced.

To cultivate a sense of belonging towards school, we have organized different trips to Guangzhou

True Light. Those who joined in March could observe lessons in China while the student

representatives who visited all TL schools in Guangzhou in April could compare different schools in

the two cities and experience what True Light spirit means. Moreover, different rituals and

traditional programmes like the lantern parade and the graduation camp have been revived. It has

further strengthened the bond among True Light bearers.

To enhance their love towards the underprivileged, a new body, the Social and National Caring

Committee, has been set up this year to run various workshops on social service training.

Page 31: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 29

Students can join different excursions to China including the Nanjing Trip to widen their exposure.

All S.2 students have learnt how the history and the natural environment have affected the culture in

Shiu Hing while some senior form students value their experience in the rural village. All S.3 girls

know they must treasure what they have after visiting the elderly who live alone. All S.4 students

learn to love and have concern for the needy through training and participation in social service.

In addition, Value Education is provided through a systematic nurturing programme. School

policies on Health Education and Environmental Education have been revised and students are

taught to develop the good habits of loving themselves and the environment. With the solar panel,

students can reduce energy use, which may help save our earth. Apart from the S.1 Orientation

Day, a Growth Camp has been organized for the new comers to help them get used to True Light life.

They have understood more about our school rules, the proper manner at school and our

expectation for students.

A new curriculum on Life Education has been established after reviewing PATHS and Religious

Studies. While the themes of all morning assemblies have been redesigned, students can exhibit

their talents and exercise their speaking and listening skills in English and Putonghua on Tuesday

mornings. Then students’ spiritual and moral education can be enhanced through hymn singing

and sharing on Monday and Wednesday as well as the reading of inspiring articles on Friday.

Campus TV on Thursday can play an important role to train students’ generic skills in, for example, IT,

collaboration and problem solving.

The ECA groups have been restructured under different academies, namely Language Academy,

Music Academy, Sports Academy, Dance Academy and Visual Arts Academy. The 140th Anniversary

Performing Arts Show will be held in July.

Comments collected from the form-based View-sharing Forum and Tea Chat with The Principal show

that most students embrace all these changes. Valuable suggestions on, for example, improving IT

facilities will be considered and the problems mentioned were addressed in the Home Affairs Sharing

in May.

Reflection

While most teachers and students welcome the innovative changes, there are different areas that

need our attention.

First of all, documents or handbooks should be proof-read well in advance to avoid careless mistakes

or typos. There is also a lot of room for improvement in the two handbooks. For instance, a page

should be left for the school calendar. The cover of the students’ handbook can be made more

classic while a more delightful design can be chosen for the personal handbook.

Page 32: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 30

Teachers should be given more time for counseling students in need or performing teaching-related

duties, rather than coping with paper work. Thus, tedious records in the Personal Growth

Handbook should be kept to a minimum.

When broadcasting the Campus TV programmes, the school has encountered various IT problems.

Better equipment is needed.

In the Buzzing Time, some students are reluctant to share with classmates whom they do not know

well. To create a better social network, more informal cell group activities are needed for its

success. Besides, some reading materials or topics for sharing like post-exam evaluation can be

given to facilitate their conversation.

Most importantly, to improve team spirit among teachers, more attention should be paid to better

and careful planning about the time for different activities and the allocation of manpower.

Page 33: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 31

Priority Task 3: Improving the environment & facilities of the school

Achievements

Group A

Our new design of the garden with a nice collection of plants has not only beautified the

environment and the garden but has also become the best place of informal meetings among

teachers and students.

There is a wide variety of plants in the garden and hence it provides a teaching platform for

other study groups, e.g. the Organic Planting Group to allow students to learn and practice

planting. Teaching in such an integrated environment is more effective.

A beautiful campus largely strengthens students’ sense of belonging.

Group B

The school lobby has been renovated with color-tempered glass and a feature wall showing the

school motto.

Wall-mount TVs installed in the lobby facilitate the recording of student attendance, the

dissemination of school information as well as the display of student accomplishments.

Enough space is provided for the organization of various activities by different subjects and

committees.

The design of open office and glass-wall partitions provides a spacious environment, and cabinets

featured with house flowers and mottos express the uniqueness of our school.

The Conference Room has been decorated in such a way that enables our guests to have a

deeper understanding of our school history.

The wave-form feature wall of the corridor shows the versatile and colourful school life of our

students.

Group C

The renovation project for the school hall in the summer of 2011 was completed on 25 August

2011. The scope of work included the installation of the audio-visual system, the stage lighting

system, two new projectors and a screen as well as the changing of the stage curtain system and

the window curtain for the school hall. The builder’s work consisted of the enlargement of the

existing wooden platform, the installation of a new wooden background in a cross shape and the

school badge with a new light trough, the construction of a new false ceiling in the base of

balcony and a wooden control booth desk on balcony.

IT Group

The installation of an electronic whiteboard and a new sliding blackboard, the layout of the

computer desk and the wiring method in each classroom has been designed.

The tender documents have been drafted. The tender procedure will start in May. The project

will be finished by the end of the summer holiday.

Page 34: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 32

Reflection

Group A

The garden requires regular maintenance e.g. monthly maintenance fee, rotation and

replacement of plants, etc. Continuous financial support from the school is needed.

Group B

Owing to the lack of experience, the contract terms were not comprehensive enough and did not

fully comply with the procedures and requirements of the authorities. As a result, work progress

was affected. Improvements will be made regarding the above issues in Phase II of the

renovation work.

Group C

With the assistance from a professional consultant, who is our student’s parent, the project was

completed in time and smoothly.

IT Group

Different difficulties have been come across. For instance, there are far too many solutions to be

considered for connecting all the devices concerned. Besides, the costing and degree of

user-friendliness also have to be considered. Therefore, technical knowledge is necessary and

important for making decisions.

According to the opinions collected from the group discussion in teachers’ meetings and the

sharing session of ‘I Love True Light’, both teachers and students express praise and appreciation

to the above reconstruction work projects. The newly completed classroom facilities can meet

the future requirement of our school. The better learning environment can surely benefit our

students. As a conclusion, the four projects are worthy despite the big cost involved.

Page 35: 九龍真光中學Kowloon True Light School

P. 33

B. Feedback on Future Planning

The leading role of the subject panels could be strengthened. More joint efforts could be

made by the school management and the subject panels to meet specific targets on

improving / promoting assessment for learning.

Questioning techniques could be applied to help students scaffold learning, develop

creativity and critical thinking skills, and facilitate interaction not only between teachers

and students but also among students.

More opportunities could be provided for peer learning among students, encouraging

them to give comments and contribute ideas in group work.
