語文教材是語文學習的重要工具,同時具有傳播漢語知識,傳承傳統文化的重要作用。近年來,黨和政府十分強調傳承與發展中華優秀傳統文化,語文教材作為體現國家方針政策與培養社會主義接班人的重要工具,更應該重視教材內容對中華傳統文化的體現與傳承。香港與大陸地區同根同源,對傳承與弘揚中華傳統文化各自發揮著重要作用。實施“一國兩制”政策的香港地區與大陸地區的文化背景又有許多不同,這種文化差異也體現在兩套語文教材之中。本著“取其精華,去其糟粕”的態度,本文擬通過比較兩地使用範圍最廣的兩版語文教材,總結出兩地七、八年級語文教材在傳統文化融入方面的特點與不足(因部編版九年級教材尚未正式出版使用),為今後教材的編寫提供一些參考。本文各部分內容如下:緒論部分交代本文題來源、研究現狀、研究的目的和意義、創新點以及研究方法等內容。第一章主要介紹中華傳統文化的內涵並闡述語文教材中融入傳統文化的必要性。第二章主要對兩地七、八年級語文教材選文系統中融入傳統文化的情況進行比較分析。第三章主要對兩地七、八年級教材的助讀系統、知識系統、練習系統及其他部分中融入傳統文化的情況進行比較分析。第四章基於前兩章的比較分析,總結出兩版教材在傳統文化融入方面的特點及不足,提出對語文教材編寫的若干建議。結語部分對前面研究內容做簡要總結。

學習語文知識、形成語文能力是語文教育的重要內容,而教科書是教育的重要媒介。助讀系統是語文教科書的重要組成部分,對學生學習知識和提高能力發揮著重要的作用。基於此,本文選取了香港特區的文思版初中階段語文教科書的助讀系統作為研究對象。本文首先明確助讀系統的概念,在此基礎上研究香港文思版初中語文教科書中助讀系統主要包括哪幾個方面。然後進行了比較研究,將這一版本的語文教科書助讀系統與大陸使用比較廣泛的三套語文教科書的助讀系統進行對比,從而總結香港特區與大陸地區的語文教科書當中助讀系統的異同。比較的目的在於說明香港文思版語文教科書的助讀系統有哪些優勢,可以為大陸語文教科書的助讀系統提供一定的參考,同時也有一些不足之處,應該加以改進。研究發現,在文思版的語文教科書當中,助讀系統主要包括三個類別:提示語類、注釋類和資料類。當中的提示語類別主要有編者語、單元的提示語和單位課文的提示語,注釋類指的是課下注釋,資料類主要是附錄部分,位於教科書的最後。其中,附錄的內容主要是針對教科書內容以及學生的實際需要所提出的問題,在對教科書整體結構和內容進行梳理的同時又能幫助學生認識自我,加強反思,是對學生提高語文能力的間接指引。由於這一部分對學生知識的學習和能力的提高發揮著一定的指引作用,因此,筆者在研究的過程中把它也列為了助讀系統的一部分。另外,通過對比分析發現,香港文思版助讀系統的優勢在於一方面對能力的培養更加注重,另一方面助讀系統更具有針對性,目標更加明確。同時,文思版的助讀系統也存在一些不足之處,比如缺少插圖部分等。總之,筆者希望通過本文的研究,明確助讀系統的內容,總結香港特區語文教科書助讀系統的優勢,為大陸地區語文教科書的編寫提供一定的參考。同時,對助讀系統的不足之處加以改進。

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the writing development of Hong Kong kindergarten students over 12 months. They attended 18 kindergartens territory-wide and were followed from June 2002 to June 2003 for the collection of three waves of teacher-rated data at six-month intervals.Design/methodology/approach: First, the construct validity of the translated and culturally adapted version of Morrow's (2012) checklist which assesses writing development was confirmed, considering that the students attended Hong Kong kindergartens who wrote in the Chinese language. The multilevel analysis, which employed corrected measures captured through Wolfe and Chiu's (1999a, 1999b) five-step Rasch scaling method for a common frame of reference, estimated the effects of the factors, namely, student age, gender, class level and schools.Findings: The children's progress over the second six months was also apparently much smaller than the first SIX months for this cohort. The dramatic slow-down in the second six-month period for both cohorts might be partly attributed to the peculiar arrangement of schooling at that time.Research limitations/implications: The recommendation from this study is that random sampling and student test scores on writing need to be taken for the identification of the general trend of young children's writing development in Hong Kong, as well as other Chinese communities alike.Originality/value: The profile of the student's emergent writing development at each six-month follow-up and over the 12 months was explored. Differences between the groups based on age, gender, class level and school in terms of student writing development on average were statistically significant. Copyright © 2019 Emerald Publishing Limited.

This study examined the longitudinal associations of emotional regulation and school readiness among Chinese kindergarten children. Data were collected from 523 children (mean age at time 1 = 52.42 months; 52.9% male) at two time points separated by approximately 1 year in Hong Kong, China. At times 1 and 2, children's school readiness was assessed by their teachers and parents while their emotional regulation was directly tested. Teachers also rated children's emotional regulation at both time points. The results from the two reciprocal path models showed that, controlling for the corresponding autoregressive effects, school readiness at time 1 was predictive of emotional regulation at time 2. However, emotional regulation at time 1 did not emerge as a significant predictor of school readiness at time 2. Theoretically, these results underscored children's school readiness as a potential contributor to their emotional regulation. Practically, these findings suggested the utility of supporting children's school readiness to foster their emotional regulation. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

漢語師資培育課程設置「現代漢語」科是建基於漢語教師須具備漢語知識才能有效教授學生學習漢語的理念。筆者於2012年進行了「國際漢語教師元語言知識運用的個案研究」，分析受試者（修讀香港教育學院「國際漢語教學文學碩士課程」中「現代漢語」科的學生）在實習期間的教學實錄和反思紀錄，了解受試者能否有意識運用語言知識來教學，即探討「教師漢語元語言意識」的發展和所產生的作用。結果顯示現代漢語知識達中等水平的準教師在教學過程中運用漢語知識的意識不強。筆者因此反思漢語師資培育課程中「現代漢語」科的教學取向，於2012-2013年增加了「漢語知識在漢語教學上的運用」的小組專題報告和個人教學實習反思報告，以加強發展學生（準教師）的漢語元語言意識，提高他們運用漢語知識來加強教學成效的能力。本論文綜合分析30名學生（準教師）「現代漢語」科的學習成果，進一步探討純漢語知識學習和「教師漢語元語言意識」發展的關係，以及檢討師資培育課程中「現代漢語」科的教學策略運用。This article reflected on the traditional belief of the direct relationship between language knowledge learnt by the language teaches and their ability to teach language in the classroom. The notion of development of Teacher Metalinguistic Awareness, (hereby referred to as TMA), was discussed in the article. TMA was regarded as an important factor contributing to effective language teaching (Andrews, 1997; 1999; 2001; 2003; 2006; 2007). Assessment result of 30 students (pre-service teachers) of the Modern Chinese Course was thoroughly analyzed. The teaching strategy used in the Course was revisited based on the analysis of the assessment result. This finding would shed light on the continuous action research on the development of Teacher Metalinguistic Awareness through the teaching of Modern Chinese of a CSL Teacher Education Programme.

Teaching Chinese to second language learners is a challenge for preschool teachers in Hong Kong so effective teacher professional development programmes are urgently needed to enhance their knowledge and skills. An Integrative Model Teacher Professional Development Programme which incorporates three theoretical underpinnings (i.e., culturally responsive teaching, meaningful and pleasurable learning, and effective teaching of Chinese as a second language) is designed to equip preschool teachers with knowledge, skills, and awareness in teaching Chinese to ethnic minority students. Through qualitative interviews with 15 in-service preschool teachers who joined the Programme, teachers' perceptions and changes in three theoretical areas of teaching Chinese to ethnic minority students were explored. Particularly, teachers increased their awareness of ethnic minority cultures, developed empathy with ethnic minority children and their families, gained knowledge of implementing culturally responsive teaching and meaningful and pleasurable learning of Chinese. The role of teacher sharing in effective professional development was highlighted. Copyright © 2019 National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators.

香港教育大學於 2010-2011 年度新開辦「語文研究榮譽文學士」課程，其中的「古代漢語」是「語言學」範疇的必修核心科。該科目旨在通過講授先秦時期的典範文言文，建立學生對古代漢語書面語的感性認識，並配合理論知識的教授，使感性認識上升到理論層面，從而提升學生閱讀理解古代典籍的能力。作為高等院校中國語言文學專業的核心科目之一，「古代漢語」的開設至少已有六十年的歷史，正式出版的教材超過二百種。從古漢語知識體系及現代教學理念等角度對反映在這些教材中的教學內容及設計進行觀察和分析，可以發現一些不足。具體而言，就是語言知識點和文選的取捨安排大多依據編者的個人經驗及喜好，缺乏科學嚴謹的理論依據，亦不便於對教與學的成效進行量化評估。除此之外，作為教材，它們的共同缺陷是通用性差，不能滿足不同層次和要求的學習需要。我們認為，不論何種科目，其教學內容的確定應該建立在科學研究的基礎之上。就「古代漢語」科目而言，一方面應根據古代文獻的實際，參考諸如詞彙中的詞頻、句式中的句頻及其在教學中的重要程度等等因素，對教學內容作出選擇；另一方面，可參考一般語言教學及教材編寫的作法，根據對應的語言能力等級將教學內容劃分為若干個級別，以滿足不同專業或層次學生的學習需要。本文將介紹這個研究設想的第一步，僅涉及「初級古代漢語」教學內容。研究主要利用語料庫語言學的研究方法，構建及製作「初級『古代漢語』科目教學內容分析語料庫」，逐步統計並調查詞彙、語法、文字及文化知識點的出現頻率及其重要程度，再據此列出「古代漢語」科目應有的教學知識點及科學的教學次序。此研究結果可為日後實驗教材的編寫提供理論依據和幫助。我們希望本研究的開展能為高校的「古代漢語」教學提供新思路和新方案，使其能從傳統的經驗式過渡到現代的科學式，以便落實「成果為本學習」（Outcome-based Learning, OBL）的教學理念，真正提高教學成效，並為當代的古代漢語教學改革提供一些借鑒。Copyright © 2019 商務印書館（香港）有限公司.
