After the 1997 transfer, it is realized that Chinese language has become a sensitive subject due to its cultural significance and political symbolization. One of the most important responsibilities for the post-1997 Hong Kong government is to make both Chinese language and Information Technology (IT) become new initiatives for vitalizing Hong Kong's education system. It is suggested that the Hong Kong government should continue to strengthen resources and technical support in promoting computer assisted learning in school (Report on Review of 9-year Compulsory Education, 1997, Hong Kong, pp.110, 124). The ratio of students to computers is going to be pushed closer one-to-one for maximum use in primary schools. In Hong Kong too, the Arts curriculum stays relatively flexible that allows primary and secondary school teachers to choose content and structure for professional purposes. A development in information technology provision in education recent years has been the constant challenges for the traditional classroom presentation. However, a problem that is being faced by educators is the application of appropriate strategies to support both with respect to hardware and software related to teaching. In order to further enhancing technology teaching, there is also a need for teachers to make judgement to accommodate new approaches for their individual instructional design. Traditional method processed in static, linear and disparate design model do not adequate for multimedia programs. Yet multimedia teaching with a focus on affective and cognitive approaches has been the subject of very little research. Both researchers and educators have to face a situation of very limited multi-disciplined nature teaching references. The project has been descriptive of the issues that have arisen in the Hong Kong context: 1.

The author examined how 101 Secondary English teachers in ten schools perceived the role and quality of textbooks, and how they made use of the textbooks in class. The criteria teachers used to evaluate textbooks differed from those of CDI. The author discovered that English teachers counted heavily on the use of textbooks, and thus recommended that a set of guidelines should be provided to teachers for textbook evaluation.

To understand the concepts of coherence in writing, the author examined ten group reports. Assisting students in understanding the concept of coherent writing prior to their writing is found to be seemingly productive.
