An integrated Chinese-learning programme for Junior South Asian students in HK
The project aims at developing a school-based, theory-driven Chinese reading programme for 40 P.2 South Asian students from 4 primary schools through teaching them phonetic radicals, orthographic phonologic correspondence rules (OPC rules) and enriching their morphological awareness; developing a teacher manual for this school-based remedial programme, establishing a digital hub for uploading and downloading supporting materials for schools using this programme and an e-learning site for teachers and professionals to refresh their understanding of theories underlying the programme. Major deliverables include a school-based Chinese reading training package and an e-learning platform for users to share their teaching materials and implementation experiences, and professionals to use the remedial programme.
