Projects

Promoting a Dynamic Pedagogical Model of Asynchronous and Synchronous Virtual Teaching and Learning to Enrich Students’ Virtual Learning Experiences
Having meticulously considered the situation of the COVID-19 in Hong Kong, the EdUHK has been conducting Virtual Teaching and Learning (VTL) since 2020 spring. Most lecturers deliver lectures synchronously using Zoom and assist students’ asynchronous learning through sharing materials on Moodle and other online platforms and conducting online learning activities. A range of measures have been taken to help teachers and students cope with the challenges and problems, for example, developing Zoom tutorial videos and conducting online workshops, seminars, and sharing sessions to introduce and explain useful approaches to effective VTL. However, many teachers may feel overwhelmed by the large amount of resources and do not know exactly how to apply these strategies or methods in their lessons. Thus, it is necessary to provide them with a pedagogical model, which is easy to follow, conducive to effective VTL, and can be adapted to meet diverse teachers’ and students’ needs. In response to this call, we propose a dynamic pedagogical model that synthesizes and balances asynchronous and synchronous VTL (AS-VTL). To establish and promote this pedagogical model in Faculty of Humanities (FHM), we aim to develop a series of innovative virtual learning resources and implement the AS-VTL pedagogical model in a range of FHM courses across all the five departments/units in FHM. We will also establish a community of practice (CoP) for the wider adaptation of the AS-VTL pedagogical model in FHM, and indeed, in the EdUHK and beyond.

「優化中文增潤課程教學成效」計畫
近年,本地大學著手發展形形色色的網上教材或課程,鼓勵學生以至公眾通過互聯網「自主學習」,讓教育事業積極迎接新時代。就此,語文教育中心希望從「課程設計」及「電子教材」兩方面,持續優化中文增潤課程,進一步提升教學成效,以照顧新時代的兩大新需要:一、課程擬增加「生命教育」及「正向教育」元素,讓本校學生通過中文文獻,認識古代知識分子在社會出現各種突發危機時,如「疫病」、「天災」、「戰亂」等,如何自處,從而認識身為大學生或準教師應有的責任和態度,也助他們有更佳「生涯規劃」;二、改善非華語學生廣州話課程,並發展相關新電子教材,以照顧學生的自主學習需要。

Roads to Better Cantonese: A Reading Program for Homonyms of Putonghua and Cantonese
When learning Cantonese, learners often inclined to over-generalization, and make mistakes in pronunciation. Because of lack of systemic learning in homonyms of Putonghua and Cantonese, it will affect the effectiveness in communication with local people.

This project uses connectionism as basic theory, selecting high frequency and co-occurrence words combination to emphasize the relationship between Putonghua and Cantonese. Under emphasizing the internal relationship of homonyms, learners can build up their own vocabularies, and the process of emergent properties will be reinforced.

This project expects to have synergistic effect of formal and non-formal learning, by developing a set of asynchronous self-paced Blended Learning materials. Mainland students and international students, through systemic learning in homonyms of Putonghua and Cantonese, can better integrate into local society, nurturing the four core competencies.

Assessing Trilingual Speaking Language Ability and Constructing Learning Resources at Hong Kong Institute of Education
In line with the objectives of the institute’s development, this project will assess the simultaneous interpreting ability of biliteracy and trilingualism (Cantonese, Putonghua and English) of students from different language backgrounds. The assessing criteria cover four dimensions: the degree of efficiency, the degree of accuracy and precision, the degree of fluency and spontaneity, and the degree of appropriateness. The findings of this research will provide a reference for the revision of language curriculum in the institute. It will also develop a tentative learning resource template on the basis of 500 sentences in spoken English, which can pertinently improve the language proficiency of students and provide a foundation for promoting the biliteracy and trilingualism in the future.
The purposes of this project are four-fold: developing the new learning resources; guiding students to make good use of information technology; enhancing students’ independent learning; and achieving a comprehensive and effective promotion of students’ ability of biliteracy and trilingualism. At the same time, the project also aims at expanding students’ international horizon, developing their multicultural values, inspiring their humanistic care, enhancing innovative thinking, and cultivating intercultural communication ability as well as the team cooperation spirit through a better understanding and more recognition of different ethnic languages.
