本文是一篇教學經驗分享的篇章，以作者任教的學校為例，分享參加教育局推行「普教中」計劃後的成效內容首先談計劃本身的目標要非常明確，因為明確才能邀請駐校專家協助完成目標；其次談成功的關鍵不是隨意改變科組本來己有的穩健課程或教學法，計劃只是在原有的建設上錦上添花，並要根據科組實際情況，循序漸進逐步推展；然後談在駐校專家離開後，如何銜接語文支援組到校的協助；最後分享實踐「普教中 」一年多來，科組老師的整體發展和寄語同行繼續努力。
The author, taking his school as an example, shares the effectiveness of using Putonghua to teach Chinese Language Subjects under the EDB Support Scheme. Joining the Scheme, the school has set clear targets and gained ample support from educational experts which contribute to the achievement of the programme. On a school-based approach, teaching content and strategies are tailor-made according to the needs of the school. After one year of supervision, the author and her colleagues were able to further develop the scheme on their own, utilizing the assistance from the language support unit of EDB in the following year. Apart from students’ learning, the scheme benefi ts the school in the sense that collaboration among different subjects greatly increase and teaching becomes more effective. Participation in the scheme, is therefore a valuable experience for them.

The present study aims at further examining an interesting finding of a recent empirical research on Hong Kong adults' participation in African drumming from a sociological perspective by adopting some Bourdieuan concepts. Results of the semi-structured interviews with 82 informants with diverse musical backgrounds and occupations concur that African drumming was hardly evident in Hong Kong before 1991, but related learning programmes have burgeoned in recent years. This study finds that the rise of African drumming among adult music learners over the past two decades in Hong Kong where the African residents only amount to a very small proportion (less than 0.3%) of the total population is the consequence of the two-phase habituation of a receptive attitude towards the ethnic musical tradition. The new habitus has been gradually formulated by highly acknowledged individual and group, first in the field of professional education of percussionists and later in the field of community music, where the cultural capital of African drumming has been increasingly convertible into symbolic capital and economic returns.

In this paper, a phenomenographic approach was utilized to create learning spaces in which 182 Secondary Five students under the guidance of the teacher (the action researcher) learned to do projects on applying suitable web authoring techniques to construct school, school alumni and e-learning websites across three school years in a local school. By means of the knowledge-building principles in an online learning community, some qualitative patterns of learning variations on learning conceptions, applications and synthesis were articulated. Throughout the learning and teaching process, some learning and teaching conditions varied whilst others were kept invariant to articulate inter-student learning variations and thereby formulate feasible teaching approaches. Finally, some critical conditions for such learning variations were further conceptualized for increasing learning effectiveness, and implications for sustaining online learning community are drawn for further research.
