Investigating Adolescents’ Digital Citizenship through Social Media: (Trans)Formation, Digital Literacy Practices and Influential Factors

The internet's anonymity and unrestricted access facilitates both (a) hacking, online aggressions, and cyberbullying of adolescents and (b) opportunities to learn, socialize, and accept one another. Teaching students to participate in online communities and society (digital citizenship [DC] education) can help them (a) protect themselves from such harmful behaviors and (b) maximize their positive affordances. To provide such education, we must understand the ethically, socially, and culturally meaningful literacy practices that support positive DC. Past studies primarily examined the DC views of individuals (mostly adults rather than adolescents) but not how they actually enact their DC through digital literacy practices across social media and/or social networking contexts, or the factors that influence their DCs. Without such knowledge, properly preparing our young people for DC will be extremely challenging.

Towards an Understanding of Second Language Writing Teachers’ Metacognition in Teaching

Metacognition, defined as the individual’s knowledge about cognitive processes and the application of this knowledge for controlling the cognitive process, has a stronghold in educational vernacular. It has been well documented in the literature that metacognition does not develop automatically in students and teachers play an instrumental role in fostering learners’ metacognition to optimize instructional effectiveness. Yet, the literature points to a dearth of teachers who possess adequate knowledge about metacognition at their disposal or the expertise in developing students’ metacognitive capacities. There is an urgent call for more research into the advancement of teachers’ professional knowledge in metacognition to enhance the learning processes of the students. Against this backdrop, the project will examine how teachers integrate metacognitive learning and instruction into the writing classroom; how, and to what extent teachers develop their competence in metacognitive writing instruction; and what factors influence teachers’ development of competence in metacognitive writing instruction.

弥合差距：研究内容和语言整合学习 (CLIL) 与护理教育中的跨语言和跨符号教学法的有效性

国际化在高等教育中越来越受欢迎。双语课程在第二语言被用作教学媒介的地区风靡已久。内容（即学科知识）和语言（即第二语言）整合学习就是其中一种双语课程。内容和语言整合学习在各地中小学的研究及实践成果丰硕，但在大学阶段的相关研究却有待发展。研究表明，以英语为教学媒介的护理学教育常因语言障碍效果欠佳。鉴于研究空白及在新冠肺炎后医护教育的重要作用，我们迫切需要在护理学教育中进行内容和语言整合教学的研究。因此，本研究将调查内容和语言整合学习对准护士内容知识和语言发展的影响，其中使用的内容和语言整合教学法将借鉴跨语言和跨符号的最新理论发展进行设计。本研究将采用准实验设计，招募五名在香港以英语教学的护理学院教职员工及其教授的两组准护士参加。其中，研究团队将与护理学教职员设计两个主题的课程，并使用跨语言和跨符号化启迪下的内容和语言结合教学法作为教学干预。第一研究阶段将侧重与护理学教职员分享内容和语言整合教学的原则。第二阶段，在研究团队的支持下，参与的教职员将实施两个单元的教学干预。第一组准护士在第一个学习单元为实验组，第二组准护士则为对照组。而在第二个学习单元中，对照组与实验组互换。第三阶段是评估阶段。研究团队将通过前后测、师生访谈及课堂互动记录评估在该护理学课程中内容和语言整合教学的有效性。研究结果将促进双语大学教育、护理学教育的教学效能，以及推进跨语言和跨符号的理论与实践发展。

了解学生在第二语言写作课堂中反馈素养的发展

反馈是教学和学习的核心，也能促进学生学习的发展。反馈有效性的核心在于「学生反馈素养」。「学生反馈素养」被定义为学生拥有所需的理解力、能力和性情去理解反馈信息并利用它来增强学习。在第二语言写作语境中，譬如在中国内地和香港，将写作过程压缩成单一草稿的单稿写作非常普遍。传统反馈的主要方法在于教师进行单向的知识传输。虽然自我评估和同伴评估可让学生掌握自己的学习和评估方式，但这不是常见的做法。因此，目前的教学方法限制了学生发展他们有效使用反馈评估能力的机会，还阻碍了学生反馈素养的发展。在这种背景下，我们需要更多的研究，譬如在教学环境中，学生如何以及多大程度发展他们的反馈素养，以及学生的这种发展如何改善他们写作。此研究成果具有相当重要的意义，因为如果反馈不能发挥其促进学生学习的作用，就会失去其目的。尽管对学生反馈素养的实证研究被视为十分重要，但此研究，尤其是在第二语言写作方面，尚未得到充分的探索。拟议的研究采用跨学年的案例研究设计，将在香港两所小学的六个小五班级进行。研究参与者包括每所学校同年级的所有教师和学生。该研究将利用多种数据来源，包括对校长、英语系主任、教师和学生的个别访谈、与学生的刺激回忆法、课堂观察、写作档案文件、学生写作档案和学生有反馈的写作草稿。因此，拟议的项目有三个目标：1）香港小学学生如何透过使用写作档案来提高反馈素养; 2) 这种反馈素养发展对学生在文本修订和写作能力提高方面的影响; 3) 什么因素会影响小学学生反馈素养的发展。拟议的研究将有助于丰富学生反馈素养的有限文献，并可为提高学生反馈素养提供教学意义，这将提升学习者能动性并改进其写作。研究结果将引起香港和世界各地教育机构的教师教育者、学校领导、研究人员和教师的兴趣。

Preparing pre-service language teachers to teach critical thinking: An ethnographic case study in Hong Kong

This project seeks to investigate how student teachers are prepared to teach CT in a pre-service language teacher education programme in Hong Kong. Adopting an ethnographic case study design and informed by an ecological perspective on teacher education, the project will explore how student teachers learn to teach CT in relation to their programme coverage, coherence and applicability. The project will also draw on multiple perspectives from language teacher educators and programme leaders/coordinators to discover how CT is integrated with their situated teacher education curricula. Such an ethnographic design not only can contribute to our understanding of CT, but can also generate insights into the dynamic, complex process of teacher learning across different sites, influenced by a range of institutional and socio-cultural factors.

The Identity Construction Experiences of Teachers of English to Young Learners in Mainland China

This project responds to the need for research into the teaching of English to young learners (TEYL), defined as children between the ages of 5-12. Despite the significant increase in popularity of TEYL globally, including mainland China, our knowledge of how TEYL is implemented, the attitudes of teachers, and the challenges they face is scant. This project, therefore, addresses this gap in our understanding of English language teaching and learning by exploring the experiences of one group of primary school English teachers in mainland China. A particular contribution of this project is to examine the experiences and perceptions of teachers of English to young learners using the theoretical lens of teacher identity. The results of this project will be of interest to policy makers, teacher educators, school authorities, researchers, and teachers of young learners themselves, both in mainland China and analogous educational settings worldwide.

Learning to Listen in EMI: The Effects of Strategy Instruction on Strategic Behaviour and Learner Uptake

In English Medium Instruction (EMI), students learn content subjects (e.g., Science, Geography) through English, which is their less familiar second language (L2). The underlying assumption is that students can gain both content subject knowledge and L2 English. However, according to recent research, this dual goal is not always attained. This study investigates how learning and teaching can be improved in the EMI classroom by providing students with listening strategy instruction (SI). It is hypothesised that students who underwent SI can learn to listen strategically and comprehend the teacher's input more effectively. The results of this study will give rise to pedagogical implications, highlighting what learners can do to become more strategic listeners and how teachers can support them in developing their strategic repertoire.

Role of Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) in Hong Kong University Students’ Perceptions of English as an International Language (EIL)

由于技术的进步及其日益增长的可供性，利用科技进行课堂以外的英语学习和教学在电脑辅助语言学习(CALL)和向其他语言使用者教授英语(TESOL)在近期有很多研究 (Lai, 2017; Reinders & Benson, 2017)。PI将这一新兴现象称为非正式数码英语学习(IDLE)，它被定义为在非结构化的课外环境中进行自主的、自然主义的数码英语学习(Lee, 2019a, 第116页)。与此同时，英文作为第二语言或外国语言(ESL/EFL)的学习者与来自不同语言和文化背景的英语使用者交流已变得越来越普遍。在此背景下，Matsuda(2017)从英语作为国际语言(EIL)的角度强调了英语的功能维度，它大致包括两个构念，即对英语种类的认知和跨文化交际的策略能力。虽然当代的ESL/EFL学生作为真实的EIL使用者，越来越多地参与到一系列的跨文化交流中(例如，通过社交媒体或数码游戏与不同的英语使用者交谈)，但迄今为止，这方面的研究还很少。在PI先前研究的基础上(Lee, 2019a; Lee & Drajati, in press; Lee & Lee, 2019a, 2019b)，这项研究旨在通过调查香港大学生中IDLE和EIL两个维度之间的关系来填补目前的空白，香港大学生通过IDLE活动越来越多地体验到英语使用者不同的口音(Yung, 2019)。采用顺序解释混合方法的研究设计，通过问卷调查(N = 400)、开放式问题(N = 400)、半结构式访谈(N = 40)和刺激回忆(N = 40)的方式，从两所大学的20个ESL/EFL班级收集资料。本研究运用CALL、社会语言学、TESOL等跨学科研究方法。在理论上，本研究帮助我们更好地理解和进一步理论化使用技术的非正式语言实践与当代学生对EIL的认知之间的关系。从研究的角度来看，三角式资料会为我们提供详细的见解，让我们了解学生参与IDLE活动是如何有助于发展他们对EIL的看法。在教学方面，这些发现将为英语教师如何更好地为当代英语学习者线上或面对面环境中的跨文化互动做好准备提供实用的见解。此外，由于传统的EIL教学法似乎局限于课堂环境，研究结果将扩大目前的EIL教学法模式的范围，使其超越课堂环境。

Towards an Understanding of EFL Teacher Educators' Expertise in Hong Kong

This ECS project, drawing on a complexity theory and adopting an ethnographic case study design, seeks to explore teacher educators’ expertise at different stages of their career and how they (re)construct their expertise through different forms of professional practice (eg, teaching, research and practicum supervision) across time and contexts. The study will make a theoretical contribution to our understanding of teacher educator expertise by shedding light on its subject-specific and context-sensitive nature as well as its developmental process mediated by various influencing factors at personal, institutional and societal levels. The study can also generate implications on how to support teacher educators’ professional development at different stages of their career in higher education.
