The Rugby English Active Learning (REAL) programme by the Hong Kong Rugby Union Community Foundation Limited provided an authentic English language use opportunity to students through regular sport participation. An English booklet with illustrated stories was produced to develop students' interest in reading stories and information texts on sports.

The PEEGS readers have been thematically paired with the PLP-R/W Programme readers in an effort to enrich and extend students' learning content and to promote reading across the curriculum. Students are encouraged to use English to learn about and discuss relatable topics by building on prior as well as cross-disciplinary knowledge – a case in point 'animal behaviour'. This module comprises four lessons, with one allocated to 'Cool Kids', the PLP-R reader, and the remaining three to 'Animals in Winter'.

The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection (AFTEC) presented the English Alliance 2019/20 prorgramme "From Page to Stage®: Tale of Two Cities". In March 2020, AFTEC had to cancel its annual production of 30 live performances of the programme in the Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre due to the pandemic.
