The teaching of English in Hong Kong from problems to solutions
Full text linkThe issue concerning English education in Hong Kong has been a matter of much debate. This dissertation comprises two parts. Part I (Chapters 1-3) is a description of the problems and Part II (Chapters 4 and 5) a search for solutions. Chapter 1 gives a factual picture of the language problems and the responses of both the government and the public to them. Chapter 2 is a study of the linguistic situation in Hong Kong, having a discussion particularly about the nature of bilingual ism. Chapter 3 analyses the language learning difficulties and the actual needs of the learners. Chapter 4 is an attempt to solve the problem by locating the proper position of English learning in the language education of Hong Kong. Chapter 5 suggests a possible solution to maintain, and hopefully to improve the teaching quality, by adapting the communicative approach to the Hong Kong situation

Local culture and political socialization of Hong Kong’s Chinese language curriculum in the period of 1960s to 1997
Full text linkHong Kong was ruled by the British from 1842-1997. During that period, educational policy of Hong Kong differed from that in other colonial territories. The colonial government encouraged identification with the indigenous Chinese culture, particularly the values of Confucianism. One aim of this research is to explore the culture and values that were chosen by the colonial government as "legitimate knowledge". A second aim is to investigate the relationships between the promotion of the Chinese local culture and British colonial rule in Hong Kong. The methodology used in this study consists of content analysis, interview and documentary analysis to collect both primary and secondary sources of data. Hong Kong under British rule, pursued a deliberate policy of the "depoliticization" of society, both to avoid offending the Chinese government and to preserve Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity "conditions favourable to the colonial government's continued rule and the economic development of Hong Kong society. Hence, some scholars have argued that the colonial government's strategy was to depoliticize the curriculum in its educational policies. However, the present study demonstrates that politics and the Chinese Language curriculum were closely related. The Chinese Language curriculum strongly advocated Confucian values and this was in fact a tactic to achieve political socialization as well as consolidate British colonial rule over Hong Kong. The promotion of the Chinese local culture in Hong Kong was most probably a remedial measure to tackle political crisis arising from the anti-imperialist demonstrations, boycott and general strike against the British in Hong Kong in the 1920ร. Under such a cultural incorporation policy, traditional Chinese values, particularly Confucian ethics, were strongly promoted, in the hope of nurturing conservative attitudes among Hong Kong students and eliminating their radical behaviour. Such a move could not only pacify the anti-British emotions and win popular support, it could also further strengthen colonial rule without provoking political unrest. The key to British success in consolidating its rule depended heavily on its tactics of achieving "de-nationalization" (i.e. deliberately excluding the cultivation of a sense of national identity among the Chinese) through "nationalization" (i.e. cultural incorporation of Chinese culture) and made use of "de-politicization" (greatly promoting moral cultivation in the Chinese Language curriculum and discouraging people’s active participation in politics) to achieve politicization (political stability).Generally speaking, the indigenous language of a country, in addition to training students with language skills, provides students with an awareness of their national identity. In Hong Kong, by contrast, the subject of Chinese Language existed to supply students with a depoliticized and alienated vision of their national identity. As revealed by the findings in this study, the Chinese Language curriculum mainly emphasizes those values that contribute to social harmony as well as political stability, thus facilitating British colonial rule
The role of publishers in curriculum change: a case study in Hong Kong
Full text linkThis study sought to explore the role of publishers in curriculum change by asking teachers about the perceptions and beliefs they held about a new task-orientated English curriculum introduced into secondary schools in September 2001.The subjects of the study were 78 Form 1 and/or Form 2 Secondary English teachers from 14 schools. These teachers were asked to fill in a questionnaire. Later 11 teachers from 11 of these schools were interviewed .The study shows that although most teachers report that they feel quite confident about the aims of the new syllabus, there is some doubt as to the depth of their understanding. The study also pinpoints some areas of concern for teachers: in particular the teaching of grammar and the suitability of the new syllabus for weaker students. The study confirms previous findings of a high reliance on textbooks in classrooms in Hong Kong. Further, it shows that teachers felt that their textbook had helped them to implement the new syllabus. Perhaps the most important finding of the study is the discovery that groups using different textbooks perceived the syllabus in different ways. This has important implications for the way in which textbooks are produced, in particular suggesting that a closer relationship between the Education and Manpower Bureau (the government body responsible for implementing new syllabi in Hong Kong) and the publishers could help to bring about more effective curriculum reform

Product Innovation Knowledge Transfer for Developing Countries: Towards a systematic Transfer Approach
No full textThe transfer of knowledge on product innovation to small- and medium-sized enterprises and local knowledge institutions in developing countries is expected to be one of the key drivers for competiveness and economical growth, and a part of the solution to environmental and social challenge. In that respect, this PhD study focuses on how the process of the current knowledge transfer takes place and how it can be improved. A combination of literature review and empirical research has resulted into a conceptual framework to describe the complex and dynamic process of product innovation knowledge transfer to developing countries. In order to improve this process, a systematic approach has been developed and operationalized by a needs assessment tool and a design manual: The UNEP Design for Sustainability for Developing Economies (D4S-DE) Manual (www.d4s-de.org). Both tools have been tested in practice by practitioners and have been evaluated by an academic review board.Design EngineeringIndustrial Design Engineerin
