Abstract:
In Hong Kong, schools use either English and/or Chinese as Mol; the Chinese may be Cantonese and/or Putonghua. Teacher educators need to consider how best to prepare teachers to operate in this context. This paper describes one approach to meeting the challenge through the formulation of an internal language policy.
