This paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of Halliday’s Sydney School genre-based approach in teaching Chinese written composition to South Asian ethnic minority students in Hong Kong. Chinese language, with its heightened status in Hong Kong, holds a key for South Asians with low socio-economic status to obtain upward mobility (Shum, Gao, Tsung, and Ki, 2011). However, South Asian ethnic minority students, as a disadvantaged group of second language learners, lack sufficient parental and institutional support in Chinese language learning. The genre-based pedagogy derived from Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) was applied in this study to improve Chinese language performance of South Asian ethnic minority students for a better chance to participate in mainstream society. The SFL approach is primarily concerned with language choice in social situations and has been widely applied in sociolinguistics (Hyland, 2007, 2012). Its latest model in language teaching methodology, the ’Reading to Learn, Learning to Write’ (R2L) pedagogy, is a genre-based teaching strategy which is designed to guide students to experience different levels of language through extensive classroom reading and writing activities with selected texts. The current study is intended to extend the approach to teaching and learning Chinese as a second language. The employment of genre-based pedagogy aims to support South Asian students with their learning of Chinese written composition in the senior secondary curriculum. The Chinese teachers involved were first provided with appropriate training in the genre-based approach to language teaching focusing on the genres of Narration and Explanation. Research data were collected while the teachers began to use the genre-based teaching approach, by means of pre-and post-tests after and before genre instruction. Text analysis based on SFL was then employed to analyze the students’ written composition in both pre-and post-tests in order to understand

本文以香港教育大學中國語文教育榮譽學士課程的沉浸（ImmersionProgramme）課程為例，介紹、檢測、反思香港中文教育准教師的跨學科體驗式學習成效，以期為新常態視角下的國際中文教育的跨學科理論與實踐和師資培訓提供參考依據。沉浸課程包括普通話研習、學科專題研習、學校體驗和文化考察等四個跨學科學習範疇。本文採用評核成績、反思報告和問卷調查等方法研究沉浸課程的學習成效。研究發現，參與沉浸課程的准教師除了普通話有一至兩個等級的進步，更在解決問題能力、批判思考能力、創造性思維能力、語言溝通能力、社交能力、倫理決策、全球視野、積極的價值觀念與心態等7個現代社會需要的共通能力有所提升。由此可證，以跨學科理論指導規劃體驗式學習能夠取得超越預期的學習效果。 Copyright © 2023 The British Chinese Language Teaching Society.

二十一世紀初，香港掀起教育改革的浪潮。隨着 2000 年的教育改革報告書《終身學習•全人發展：香港教育制度改革建議》[2] 及 2001 年的課程發展議會報告書《學會學習──課程發展路向》[3] 的發佈，中國語文教育學習領域課程也配合改革的步伐，進行全面改革。文章試圖透過回顧基礎教育中國語文教育學習領域課程評估標準、評估系統的轉變、實施和調整的過程，以及香港學生在主要大型低風險國際評估中的表現，梳理基本能力評估存在的問題，並進行相應的探討，為相關教育工作者提供參考。 Copyright © 2021 澳門語言學會.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is one important development direction in Chinese teaching and teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Against the background, in 2018-19, the Department of Chinese Language Studies of the Education University of Hong Kong, together with the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, Department of Psychology, designed a course -- named "STEM and its Application on Language Acquisition and Communication" --for learning Chinese Language through STEM elements combined with psychological theories. The author is one of the three designers of this course. The students who take this course are mostly prospective teachers of Teaching Chinese as a foreign language and Chinese Language. This interdisciplinary course offers participants the opportunities to understand and experience the major approaches in STEM, namely scientific inquiry and engineering design cycle, in solving cross-disciplinary problems in language acquisition and communication. Through the course, participants first identify a problem related to language acquisition and communication, then develop a solution by applying scientific inquiry and engineering design cycle, and finally reflect on the impacts, feasibility, cultural and socio-economic implications of the problem and the proposed solution using an interdisciplinary approach. Participants are required to disseminate their ideas, findings or products to experts in different areas, and are thus encouraged to integrate discipline-based knowledge in problem identification, solution development, dissemination and reflection, facilitating analyses from multi-disciplinary perspectives. Based on the theory of interdisciplinary language learning, this report aims to analyze the learning and teaching achievements of students and teachers in this course, as well as the problems encountered, and discuss the future development of the course.

This study aims to compare auditory temporal processing and phonological processing across locations and age levels and to test the direct and indirect effects of auditory temporal and phonological processing on proficiency in Chinese character reading. We recruited 108 typically developing children — 25 and 24 kindergarteners from Taiwan and Hong Kong, respectively, and 34 and 25 primary school students from Taiwan and Hong Kong, respectively. Our findings showed that, before learning PCS, the languages’ phonological complexity did not affect the importance of ATP in Chinese reading. Also, we found the use of PCS could lead to a direct effect from students’ ATP to Chinese character reading as well as through phonological awareness. Our findings indicated that ways of learning to read influence children’s patterns of cognitive and linguistic abilities, which should be considered in teaching designs for reading. Copyright © 2023 Fundacion Infancia y Aprendizaje.

中國語文科課程的教學目標著重語⽂能⼒的訓練，也強調思想的啟發和品德的培養。 課程由2015年中四開始引入十二篇指定文言經典學習材料為「指定考核作品」，並由2018年香港中學文憑考試開始考核。指定文言經典學習材料為文質兼美的作品，有豐富的文學、文化內涵，既鞏固學生語文學習，也可以促進文化和品德情意等範疇的學習，是語文教學的重要部份。本研究本文透過價值觀主題類目量表進行內容分析，探討課程教材的價值取向。教師以教材文本為基本，配合課程意識、教學知識和專業能力，覺知教材文本的意涵，實施教學方案，達至教學目標。本研究再通過訪談，瞭解教師的教學構想，發掘課程潛能，為教師的課堂教學提供參考。 Copyright © 2023 歐洲漢語教學協會.

中國古代文論，又稱中國文學批評，以中國傳統的文學理論及批評為研究對象。《四庫全書》集部列有“詩文評”，著錄的是古代詩文理論及批評的著作。 中國古代文論與古代文學創作密切相關，其所針對的是中國古代文學現象及作品，是對歷代文學傳統的理論總結，形成了一套理論範疇及審美命題，如風骨、神韻、興趣、妙悟、意象、意境、詩言志、文如其人、以意逆志、意在言外、情景交融等。而這些範疇及命題又對古代作家的創作具有指導意義，是中國古代文學的觀念基礎。 如西方古典詩歌理論的主軸是“模仿說”，關注的是作品與客體的關係，而中國古代詩論的主軸是“詩言志”，關注的是作品與主體、即詩與作者的關係，由此產生了“詩如其人”、“以意逆志”、“知人論世”等創作觀及作品評鑑的方法論。 在文言文教學中，教師瞭解中國古代文論的特徵及傳統，吸納中國古代文論的理論範疇及價值系統，可達到深化對中國古典作品的理解的教學效果。本報告將結合指定文言文範文，對此做分享。 Copyright © 2022 香港教育大學中國語言學系.
