Learning language through literature in secondary schools : a resource book for teachers of English
No full textThis is the third in an important series of books for teachers of English. The focus in this book, aimed at secondary schools, is on preparing teachers for the new TOC-oriented English syllabus. All three language dimensions - KNOWLEDGE, INTERPERSONAL, EXPERIENCE - are addressed. In particular, the use of appropriate techniques and materials is demonstrated for those teachers unfamiliar with the EXPERIENCE dimension. The book demonstrates how texts, techniques and tasks used in secondary classrooms can be MOTIVATING, MEANINGFUL AND MEMORABLE. All the ideas in the book have been tried out by local teachers and shown to work. This book is not just for teachers of literature. It is for those who teach the 100,000 school-leavers taking English language examinations every yearpublished_or_final_versionContributors pviiAcknowledgements pixCh.1 Worlds of Words: Authenticity of Response and the Experience of Literary Texts in the Hong Kong Second- language Classroom / Peter Kennedy Peter Falvey p1Ch.2 Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue: S3 Sail Off With the Jumblies / Amanda Tann p13Ch.3 Radio Plays / Bob Adamson Annie Siu Yin Tong p33Ch.4 Using Hong Kong Stories in Hong Kong Classrooms / Peter Kennedy p45Ch.5 Using Asian Poems in English Classes: Sample Lessons / Mike Murphy p59Ch.6 From Reading to Speaking and Writing: Dramatizing For the English Classroom / Philip Kam Wing Chan p67Ch.7 Little Red Riding Hood in Hong Kong / Peter Kennedy p77Ch.8 楁The Course of True Love楜: Bringing Romance to the English Classroom / Sarah Woodhouse p91Ch.9 Drama and Other Literary Strategies in the Teaching and Understanding of Poetry - Approaches to the Experience Dimension of Language Use / Peter Falvey p117Ch.10 Imitation As Freedom: Creative Writing in the Second-language Classroom / Cully Wilcoxon p12

Racial Equality and the Law: Creating an Effective Statute and Enforcement Model for Hong Kong
No full textThe Hong Kong government has commenced a public consultation exercise on a bill to prohibit racial discrimination, which is expected to be introduced in the Legislative Council in early 2005. The government has proposed to model the bill on the existing Sex Discrimination Ordinance (SDO) and the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (DDO). While there are advantages to adopting a familiar format, the author argues that the SDO and DDO can be improved upon, in particular, that a more flexible definition of indirect discrimination should be adopted and that special provisions be drafted to address discrimination against new immigrants from mainland China. The author takes the view that this is an opportune time to strengthen the enforcement model for all of Hong Kong's anti-discrimination laws. The author proposes that officers at the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) be empowered to take a more proactive approach and that a specialist equal opportunities tribunal should be established outside the auspices of the EOC.published_or_final_versio
The Failure of the Hong Kong Court of Appeal to Recognise and Remedy Disability Discrimination
No full textThis article critiques the recent decision of the Hong Kong Court of Appeal in Ma Bik Yung v Ko Chuen, the first case to be tried under Hong Kong's Disability Discrimination Ordinance. The Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's finding of disability harassment but granted the appeal from the finding of disability discrimination. The author argues that the Court erred, by introducing a hypothetical factual scenario that was inconsistent with the District Court's findings of fact and by failing to apply s3 of the Ordinance. The article also criticises the Court's holding that an 'unwilling' apology is outside the scope of remedies allowed by the Ordinance. In fact, similar statutory language is regularly used in Australia as the basis for orders to apologise. The author concludes by considering the potential conflict between the right to free expression and court-ordered apologies and suggests two possible approaches to the issue.published_or_final_versio

Hong Kong: City of Colour
No full textPrevious collections of photographs illustrating the lost world of Old Hong Kong have tended to focus exclusively on black-and-white images from before the Second World War. In this new collection of photographs from the period 1948-1969, Otto Lam has instead selected a dazzling array of images in glorious full colour, including some of the earliest surviving colour views of the city and its environs. In his introductory essay to the volume, Peter Cunich places these photographic images within the longer-term context of Hong Kong's graphic representation from the middle of the nineteenth century, and discusses the significance of the images and what they tell us about Hong Kong from the late-1940s to the late 1960s

Juries : a Hong Kong perspective
No full textThis book is based on the findings of a research on the jury system in HK. The issues addressed include: the comprehension of HK jury, its representativeness, and the political significance of its existence (especially in the light of 1997). The research itself is unique in that judiciaries around the world tend to maintain a wall of secrecy around the operations of the jury.
