莎士比亚的戏剧和十四行诗被认为是英语文学和语言的奠基之作。在澳大利亚的中学英语教育中,学习莎士比亚的作品几乎是每个学生的“必修课”。像《麦克白》、《仲夏夜之梦》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》这样的莎士比亚经典作品经常出现在英语课堂上。
Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets are considered foundational works in English literature and language. In Australian secondary school English education, studying Shakespeare’s works is almost a "must" for every student. Classic Shakespearean works like Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Romeo and Juliet frequently appear in English classrooms.
在刚刚过去的九月假期中,Qs School Box Hill学校根据中学生的反馈和需求,提供了一门深入的莎士比亚课程——解读莎翁:Year 6-10假期精读班。该课程由VCE英语老师授课,亲自批改和优化学生作业,帮助学生深入分析学校所选的莎士比亚作品,提高学生写作技能。
During the recent September holidays, Qs School Box Hill offered an in-depth Shakespeare course—Shakespeare Unpacked: Year 7-10 Intensive Holiday Program—based on feedback and demand from middle school students. Taught by VCE English teachers, the course included personalized feedback and improvement of student assignments, helping students analyze selected Shakespearean texts and enhancing their writing skills.
我们收到了同学们非常积极正面的反馈!让我们一起来回顾一下吧。
We received very positive feedback from the students! Let's have a look.

这三本书我都在假期班学习了,最喜欢的作品是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。Brian老师在课堂上不仅讲解了文本,还补充了很多背景知识,特别是一些历史和写作方面的内容。他讲课的方式非常像在讲故事,每一堂课都让人觉得非常轻松、愉快。我觉得Brian老师经验非常丰富,能够让我们从不同的角度理解作品。虽然有很多新的文本分析技巧,我完全不觉得节奏快,反而觉得收获满满。对我来说,提前学习莎士比亚无疑对未来的日校学习大有帮助,尤其是在写作技巧和应对测试上,感觉自己更有信心了。
Istudied all three plays in this holiday course, and my favorite was Romeoand Juliet. Mr. Brian not only explained the text but also provided a lotof background information, especially regarding history and writing techniques.His teaching felt like storytelling, and every class was light-hearted andenjoyable. I think Mr. Brian has a wealth of experience, as he helped usunderstand the plays from different perspectives. Although there were many newtext analysis techniques to learn, I didn’t find the pace too fast. Instead, Ifelt like I gained so much. For me, getting a head start on Shakespeare willdefinitely benefit my school studies, especially in terms of writing skills andtest preparation. I now feel much more confident.
我觉得这次课帮助我彻底理解了莎士比亚的作品。在日校我学过《Runner》和《Inheritance》,虽然那些书也不错,但和莎士比亚相比就显得有点单调。我本身很喜欢文学,这次假期班完全是我自己决定报名的。我听说日校将来还会学到莎士比亚的作品,提前接触肯定不会错!而且这些经典作品比日校的书更有趣,课堂上也更能激发我的兴趣。
Thiscourse helped me fully understand Shakespeare’s works. At school, I’ve studied Runnerand In Heritance, which were fine, but they seemed a bit dull comparedto Shakespeare. I really love literature, and I signed up for this holidaycourse on my own. I’ve heard that we’ll be studying Shakespeare in schoollater, so getting a head start made sense. Plus, these classic works are waymore interesting than the books we read at school, and the lessons were muchmore engaging.

我最喜欢的作品是《仲夏夜之梦》。这本书的故事情节和背景真的太有趣了。Anthony老师教会了我们如何在写作中引用莎士比亚的名句,并将它们与我们的论点紧密结合,这让我的写作水平有了明显的提高。虽然我以前没有正式接触过文学课程,但我妈妈推荐我参加这个假期班,我也很愿意来,因为听说高年级的学姐学长们未来的学习中会涉猎这些内容。这门课不仅帮我提前预习了莎士比亚,也让我对未来的学习有了更清晰的方向。
My favorite play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The plot and background were so fascinating. Mr. Anthony taught us how to use Shakespeare’s famous quotes in our writing and how to link them closely with our arguments, which really improved my writing skills. Although I hadn’t formally studied literature before, my mom suggested I take this holiday course, and I was happy to join because I had heard that older students study these works later on. This course not only gave me a head start on Shakespeare but also gave me a clearer direction for my future studies.
我之前出于兴趣自己读过莎士比亚的《麦克白》,喜欢其中的悲剧元素,所以当我看到有这个课程时,立刻决定报名。Anthony老师的讲解非常有帮助,他会结合历史背景来讲述为什么莎士比亚的作品是这样写的,尤其是那些古英语部分,通过他的解释,感觉莎士比亚的作品突然变得“可读”了,不再那么晦涩。我现在已经在考虑将来考VCE文学,因为通过这次课,我对莎士比亚和文学的理解有了更深的认识。
I had read Macbeth on my own out of interest and loved its tragic elements, so when I saw this course being offered, I signed up immediately. Mr. Anthony’s explanations were incredibly helpful—he tied in the historical context to explain why Shakespeare wrote the way he did, especially with the old English parts. Through his teaching, Shakespeare’s works suddenly became readable and no longer felt so difficult. Now, I’m seriously considering taking VCE Literature because this course has deepened my understanding of both Shakespeare and literature as a whole.

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》是我自己选的课程内容。Brian老师通过讲解句子,帮我们一步步分析这些古老的英语文本,甚至通过创造场景的方式来帮助我们理解。虽然我日校还没有学习到莎士比亚的内容,但我觉得Brian老师的讲课方式很有趣,节奏也很适合我们这个年龄段的学生。如果这个课程能够在平时的学期内开设,我也会考虑继续参加,尤其是Brian老师教的课。
I chose Romeo and Juliet as my course focus. Mr. Brian broke down the sentences for us and guided us step by step through the old English, even creating scenes to help us understand the text. Although we haven’t covered Shakespeare at my school yet, I found Mr. Brian’s teaching style really fun, and the pace suited students of our age group. If this course were offered during the regular school term, I’d definitely consider taking it again, especially if Mr. Brian was teaching.
我目前在日校学习《小妇人》,之前也读过一些其他的文学作品。这次假期班让我在文本分析方面最大的收获就是对“伏笔”的理解。Brian老师不仅帮助我们梳理了故事的背景,还为我们补充了很多段落的解读。我觉得这门课内容很棒,但真的挺紧张的,信息量有点大,如果时间可以延长到7-8天,学习效果可能会更好。莎士比亚是必修的内容,提前接触确实有帮助!
I’m currently studying Little Women at school, and I’ve read some other literary works before. The biggest takeaway from this holiday course was my improved understanding of “foreshadowing” in texts. Mr. Brian not only helped us understand the background stories but also guided us through many key passages. I thought the course content was great, but it was quite intense, with a lot of information to absorb. I think it would have been better if we had 7-8 days to cover everything. Shakespeare is essential for the future, so getting an early start was definitely helpful!
