Projects
Multilingualism/multiglossia in GBA: From Theory to Practice
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) has a long history of using various languages and dialects. The well-known language policy of “biliterate trilingualism” (in Hong Kong) and “three written languages and four spoken languages” (in Macau) shows the tip of the iceberg of the complexity of language and culture fusing and blending here. Following China economic reforms in the 1980s in tandem with the increase of population mobility, more and more regions in GBA have become multilingual/multiglossia communities in which the prominent linguistic hierarchy influences language society and education in all aspects. GBA thus provides an ideal research data culture dish on the research topic of multilingualism/multiglossia and its impact.This proposed project is built upon EdUHK’s longstanding conviction in a holistic approach and collaboration in GBA. A number of initiatives and projects at the University testify to this conviction, such as introducing the GBA curriculum to deepen students’ understanding of GBA through language tours and establishing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau University Alliance for Chinese Language Education. Centring on studies of multilingualism/multiglossia in GBA, this project will further develop and consolidate the leading role of the Department of Chinese Language Studies (CHL) in Chinese linguistics and Chinese language education by initialising a program of research (including a large-scale survey, symposium and journal special issues, etc.), training workshops, new academic course and programme, and international networking. From a theoretical perspective, by taking the GBA as the entry point, it aims to promote theoretical development and innovation in multilingualism/multiglossia research and seek high-level collaboration with researchers in GBA and beyond. From a practical point of view, it will apply the theoretical findings of multilingualism/multiglossia research to language education so as to promote educational innovation and reform.

Uncovering Relationship between Strategy Use and Chinese Character Writing Performance among L2 Learners in Local and Foreign Contexts: A Cross-lagged panel Analysis
Using a cross-lagged panel design, this study investigates the concurrent and prospective effect of strategy use on Chinese character handwriting performance through two groups of adolescent L2 beginners: non-Chinese ethnic students from local schools in Hong Kong (CSL learners) and students from Vietnam (CFL learners). Quantitative and qualitative analyses are conducted on two sets of longitudinal data, in order to: (i) evaluate the significant effectiveness of strategy use on CCW performance among CSL and CFL students concurrently and overtime; (ii) examine whether the bidirectional relationship of strategy use and CCW performance vary between CSL and CFL; and (iii) depict how context affects the relationship of learning strategies and CCW development among L2 learners.
Project Start Year: 2022, Principal Investigator(s): LIANG, Yuan 梁源
