The authors present a Conceptual Framework to underpin the Target-Oriented Curriculum (TOC) renewal initiative in Hong Kong, and then elaborate the interrelationships among 1) concepts, 2) processes of doing things, 3) systems integrating concepts or processes or both, and 4) representations: i.e., language to identify and connect the concepts, processes and systems.

This report records that, in response to the launch of Target Oriented Curriculum, a research was conducted to examine the development of a cross-curricular framework and subject developments for English. It also provides information of teacher involvement and consultative process, as well as the product of this project.
