Step Forward to the University Title Bid 向大學正名之路進發 香 A 港教育學院( 教院) 致力發展成為一所以教育為本、 提供多元學科的教育大學。為配合教院的策略性發 展，人文學院自2012年7月1日重整學系架構，建立更多 學科，在過去一年已取得了顯著的成績。首先，本學院的語 文研究榮譽文學士——教院首個非教育學士課程，已於2013 年11月成功通過了香港學術及職業資歷評審局( 評審局) 之 質素保證機制課程覆審，這為本學院之後申請中文研究及英 文研究之學科範圍評審奠定了穩固的基礎。 此外，在2014年4月中，人文學院順利地完成了評審局的 中文研究及英文研究學科範圍評審之實地考察，評審小組在 中期報告中給予非常正面的評價，使本學院將來能從傳統教 育研究擴大到其他重點學科領域，同時亦標誌著向大學正名 之路邁進一大步。為進一步開拓更多的人文學科相關科目， 我們計畫在已獲認可的中文研究及英文研究學科範圍之下， 為學生提供更廣泛的學科選擇、引入雙學士學位課程，及發 展其他相關課程等。 我亦藉此機會祝賀語言學及現代語言系副教授王立勛博士， 憑藉他卓越的教學表現及對教育的熱誠，王博士在傑出教 學、研究及行政服務表現校長獎項2013-14，奪得了「傑出 教學表現獎」之個人獎項。 在學院發展的過程中，我見證著各位教學同工、行政同事、 同學和校友為學院努力不懈，並且被他們的熱誠及支持深深 地感動。在同仁擕手協力下，人文學院將繼續秉持教研相長 的宗旨，憑藉專業的知識和態度，致力推動人文教育，積極 培育學生，為社會作出貢獻。 人文學院院長 陳國球教授 ince the restructuring on 1 July 2012, the Faculty of Humanities (FHM) has been developing into "an Education-focused, multidisciplinary institution with research capability" in line with the strategic move of HKIEd. With this end in view, the FHM has made remarkable achievements over the past year. First of all, our Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies (BA(Lang Studies)), the first undergraduate programme complementary to Education in HKIEd, was successfully revalidated by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) in November 2013, laying a solid foundation for the Faculty to subsequently apply for the Programme Area Accreditation (PAA) in the programme areas of Chinese Studies and English Studies. Secondly, we completed a smooth panel visit for the PAA exercise in mid-April 2014 and the Institute has received a positive interim report from HKCAAVQ which signifies a big step towards the university title bid, extending the strengthened key discipline areas outside the traditional education studies. To further develop more Humanities-related disciplines, we plan to offer a wider variety of courses for students, introduce double degree programmes and develop other undergraduate programmes in the accredited discipline areas of Chinese Studies and English Studies. I also take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Wang Lixun, Associate Professor of the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies, for winning the "Award for Outstanding Performance in Teaching" of the President's Awards for Outstanding Performance in Teaching, Research and Administrative Services 2013/14 for his achievement and dedication in teaching. In the course of development in several endeavours, I have witnessed and was impressed with the vigour, enthusiasm and support shown by everyone involved – academic/teaching staff, administrative colleagues, students and alumni. With the concerted efforts of all FHM members, our Faculty will continue to leverage on our expertise to strive for excellence in teaching, research, as well as academic development with a view to nurturing our students, contributing to the advancement of the Humanities education and the betterment of the community.

Over the course of around 30 meeting sessions, the HKCAAVQ Panel met with about 90 members of the senior management, academic and teaching staff, 15 external stakeholders, 30 current students and alumni. The Panel was generally pleased with our Faculty's capability regarding the proposed Programme Areas in Chinese Studies and English Studies. The official accreditation report is expected around July 2014. The Faculty of Humanities would like to thank all participants of the PAA exercise, particularly the Working Groups for the Programme Areas in Chinese Studies and English Studies. The Faculty would also like to extend the gratitude to all other stakeholders who have contributed to the PAA exercise, including academic, teaching and administrative staff members, students, alumni, external examiners, Faculty Advisory Committee members and internship partners. HKIEd has to go through a three-step process in its quest for a university title. The first step involved the revalidation of programmes complementary to education, which was successfully completed in November 2013. The second step involved the aforementioned PAA exercise. The final step will involve an Institutional Review (IR) by the University Grants Committee (UGC). PAA is the second step of the U-title process after the successful revalidation of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies programme hosted by our Faculty. With the granting of self-accreditation status in the Programme Areas of Chinese Studies and English Studies, FHM will be able to develop a wider spectrum of Humanities-related disciplines and offer more courses and minors in the two accredited programme areas complementary to education.

請介紹「小學中國語文教育伙伴協作計劃」項目的緣 起和發展。 針對二十一世紀初語文課程改革的理念，前中文學系系主 任陳炳藻博士於2002年成立「學校支援組」，2004年得 到校方的撥款支持。在此基礎上，我們進一步深化工作， 把活動名稱由「支援」改為「伙伴協作」。「伙伴協作」 成立的目的是： 1. 開展與學校建立良好的伙伴關係； 2. 向學校提供有關中國語文教育課程，改革的協作服務； 3. 廣開中、小學給予學校體驗的名額；及 4. 配合本系將來的發展和取向。 小組於2004年12月18日舉辦「語文教育伙伴協作計劃： 課程與教學」研討會，並於2005年1月舉辦簡介會，同 年12月舉辦分享會。伙伴協作模式一直進行至今。 請介紹項目的理論基礎和具體步驟。 我們利用系統論、學科論、能力結構論、認知論及課程論 建立校本語文課程規劃與教材建設的理論架構，作為協作 的理論基礎，透過簡介會、分享會，培訓參與協作的老師， 老師掌握了專業知識，再回學校實踐，我們的團隊跟進， 隨時提供協作支援。 凡有意參加協作的學校，需要在每年12月的分享會填交 一份協作計劃書。本組根據系內資源，甄選申請學校的 數目和課題，凡成功申請及一些觀察學校的老師需在每 年1月參加簡介會，以了解活動流程及各組協作的理論 知識。以後組員到校就計劃的內容，作最少四次的到校協 作活動。計劃完成後，將邀請表現出色的學校出席我系每 年在12月舉辦的全港小學分享會。詳情可參以下網頁： http://home.ied.edu.hk/~msho/ 何 編 何 編 何 編 何 編 「小學中國語文教育伙伴協作計劃」項目有哪些成員？ 原則上全系的同事只要有興趣都可以加入，根據本身教研興趣自由選擇組別， 早期參與的同事較多，但流動性較大。近幾年較為穩定，成員如下： 校本語文規劃與教材建設組： 何文勝博士( 組長) 及招募小量修讀校本語文課程與教材發展單元且成績優異的 小學學士課程四年級學生 普通話教中文組： 謝雪梅博士( 組長)，余婉兒博士、黃仁娜女士、梁佩雲博士( 組員) 語文評估組： 張壽洪博士( 組長) 非華語學生學習中文組： 梁佩雲博士( 組長) 請介紹項目的宗旨和目的。 「伙伴協作計劃」旨在把同事研究的理論知識透過協作，轉化為一線老師的教 學能力，提高老師的專業水平。 項目目的包括： 1. 深化語文教育改革； 2. 落實課改以學生為本的理念，優化校本語文課程； 3. 把理論知識轉化為能力的應用，由理論帶動實踐，以支援小學教師； 4. 成果轉化為小學教育榮譽學士課程、中國語文教育榮譽學士課程及在職教師 專業進修課程等的單元教材； 5. 建立本系與本港小學的伙伴關係，為本系學生提供更多實習及學校體驗的 學額；及 6. 建立本院及本系在香港語文教育的地位。 國語言學系「小學中國語文教育伙伴協作計劃」 榮獲2012/13 年度知識轉移大獎 Faculty Spotlights 4 與項目負責人何文勝博士的訪談 編輯部 何博士 編 何
何 編 何 編 何 編 項目開展過程中曾經遇到甚麼困難，如何克服？ 曾經因經費問題面臨停運，經組長向系方及李子建副校長陳述利害，才獲院校 協作與學校體驗事務處撥款，並加入" 參與學校必須為本校學生提供配屬及實 習學位" 條款，活動得以延續。現在每年都得到知識轉移基金的支持，使協作 工作順利進行，並取得不少成效，參與學校也樂意為我校學生提供實習及配屬 的學位。此外，到學校開辦講座時，要有不是每一位老師都能專心投入的心理 準備；也有只參加一兩次就半途而廢的；當然也有不少老師努力嘗試，與我們 並肩作戰，最終取得佳績，脫穎而出，成為跑在教改前面的先鋒。 請總結項目的影響和成效。 「伙伴協作計劃」持續運作了十多年，已成為本系的品牌，在小學有一定的影 響力。出席簡介會及分享會的學校合共超過二百所，表現卓越的學校約有十所， 受惠老師超過五百人。參與協作的學校都能為本校學生提供比一般學校較多的 配屬及實習學位；項目落實課改的理念及深化課改的工作，改變了教師的教學 思維，提高了教師的專業水平和教學效能。其中五所小學的老師編寫實驗校本 語文教科書，交由出版社出版；也有一所學校老師利用協作成果，申請並獲得 香港特別行政區首長教學嘉許狀；三所學校老師利用協作活動的成果，申請並 獲全國第一屆名師評比的管理、研究及教學等多個獎項。計劃既能拓展本系同 事現有研究活動的範圍，又配合學院未來之發展路向與落實語常會在提升香港 語文水平行動方案所提的建議；本校學生也可參與合作，在實踐中學習，實現 多方共贏。 請談談「伙伴協作計劃」的未來發展路向。 未來將透過實証方法，驗証協作的成效，利用有關數據撰寫學術論文；把有關 資料整理為《校本語文課程規劃與教材建設的理論與實踐》教材，再出版；透 過協作計劃，配合有關課程加強培養本校學生開發校本語文課程的能力。 The project has been running since 2004, led by colleagues in the former Chinese Department and, after the Faculty restructuring in 2012, by colleagues in the Department of Chinese Language Studies (CHL). The main purpose is to establish partnership with local primary schools, helping them to develop pedagogical materials for Chinese language education. Over 500 school teachers have participated in the project over the years. In this interview conducted in Chinese, Dr. Ho Man Sing, the project leader, recounts how the project came about and its concrete achievements.

epartment of English Language Education 英語教育學系 D Public Lecture Series lmost everyone remembers studying English in school. For the most part in Hong Kong, that memory is of learning grammar, vocabulary, and how to read and write. Although you may have some pleasant memories of learning English in school, it was probably mostly hard work. Yet, after all that studying, you may still be somewhat dissatisfied with your ability to speak and understand English. This is partly because learning a foreign language is a lifelong endeavour. However, your dissatisfaction may also be because there was something missing in your education. Because language is composed of so many components and nuances, it is impossible to teach everything in school. Thus, the present lecture series provides participants with a taste for some of the other aspects of language learning that are seldom taught in school. Although it is impossible to fill in all those gaps in your learning on a few Saturday mornings, we hope to provide you with some insights into English and language learning in general. Date Topic Speaker 1/3/2014 English Spelling Really Does Make Cents Sense Dr. Paul Stapleton 8/3/2014 Accents in English Dr. John Trent 15/3/2014 Is English Pronunciation Really so Difficult?

History and Culture as Reflected in English Vocabulary Dr. Timothy Taylor 29/3/2014 Exploring Sex and Sexuality in Literature Dr. Bidisha Banerjee 12/4/2014 Language Learning and Technology Dr. Wang Lixun Department & Centre Highlights 8 Message from the Head The past year has been an exciting time for the Department of English Language Education (ELE), with initiatives from past years continuing, plans for new developments hatching. Our Saturday Seminar Series in the fall of 2013 in which teachers from primary and secondary schools attended sessions on language learning and teaching strategies, including EMI instruction, was held over six weeks with 300 participants. In the spring of 2014, we brought back our Public Lecture Series, "The English You Didn't Learn in School II" with five all-new topics. Last year, this series attracted 800 participants to the six lectures and this year's attracted about 700. Presently, ELE is exploring the possibility of offering two new scholarships. One is for fully paid tuition fees in the MATESOL for one student. The other scholarship will send students to an elite school in Australia during the summer as a mentoring attachment. ELE has also spearheaded a pilot Field Experience (FE) Semester for BEd (English Language) students to begin in the fall of 2014. If successful, this new form of FE may become standard practice in the years ahead. These are just a few of the developments ELE has contributed to during 2014. We look forward to continuing these ventures and expanding upon them in the future. Dr. Paul Stapleton Head, Department of English Language Education A

The seminars aimed to enhance teachers' professional development in areas relating to language in learning, strategies of using English as a medium of instruction, curriculum development beyond NSS and strategies to cater for learner diversity. The seminars also provided a channel for the department to introduce different professional development programmes (PDPs) to teachers after they had had a taste of the issues of the topics presented. These 3-hour seminars held on Saturday mornings at the HKIEd Tai Po Campus were well attended. They attracted an application of more than 520 teachers and postseminar comments were highly positive.

epartment of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies 語言學及現代語言系 D Department & Centre Highlights 10 Message from the Head The Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies (LML) was established in 2012 upon the restructuring of the Faculty of Languages, now re-titled the Faculty of Humanities. LML aspires to seek knowledge for advancing our understanding of the triangulated relation between language, mind and society. Because of the progress in information technology, human communications have been changing drastically. Now we often found ourselves communicating via multimedia devices that allow multilingual switching. Records of communication can be stored and transmitted instantly with very little limitations. The impacts of these changes to human language system, its learning and its use have not yet been duly gauged. LML, avowedly the youngest linguistics department in Hong Kong, will make its best effort in this exciting and challenging scientific inquiry. With the above undertakings, we also anticipate synergies between general linguistics and applied linguistics in the curriculum development of language education and language studies, which will further contribute to the growth of the Faculty of Humanities. Professor Cheung Hin Tat ( 張顯達教授) Head, Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies his semester, we were privileged to have a new faculty member, Dr. Liu Fung Ming, Christy ( 廖 鳳 明 博 士), join the Department where she serves as a lecturer. Christy's scholarship concerns language teaching, translator training, sociology of translation and translation studies. With her expertise particularly in the area of translation, she is sure to help increase the range of research activities and contribute to the research profile of the Department. Please give her a hearty welcome into her new role! The Department was further recognised at the 2013/14 President's Awards for Outstanding Performance in Teaching, Research, and Administrative Services when Dr. Wang Lixun received the President's Award for Outstanding Performance in Teaching 2013/14. The award was first launched in 2011/12 to recognise outstanding teachers, researchers, and those colleagues who perform outstanding vital service through administrative and support functions, on the basis of nomination.

Worthy to note is that last year was a very productive year in the number of seminars the Department offered. The Department hosted five seminars in the past few months, three given by our colleagues (Dr. Ma Qing, Angel, Professor David C.S. Li, Dr. Joanne Chuk, Dr. Chen Hsueh Chu, Rebecca and Ms. Wang Qian, Bobbie) and two given by two colleagues from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Dr. Carmen Lee and Dr. Chan Ho Leung, Derek). We were very excited to have two overseas guest professors give a series of seminars on linguistics and use of technology. Professor Su, I-wen, Lily from National Taiwan University gave two seminars, one with the title "Nominalisation as Grammatical Metaphor" on 24 March 2014 and the other one《似水流年：中文的時間隱喻》on 25 March 2014. The other guest professor was Professor Jozef Colpaert from the University of Antwerp of Belgium, who gave us two seminars on technology use, and language learning and teaching on 28 March 2014. The topics of Professor Jozef Colpaert's first and second seminars were "How to Determine Which Technologies to Use, Where, When and How: An Engineering Approach to Language Learning and Teaching" and "Getting Published in CALL: Topics and Methodologies" respectively. Finally, suggestions from readers for anything related to what is going on in the Department are always welcome. We hope everyone has a great summer!
Department & Centre Highlights 12 epartment of Literature and Cultural Studies 文學及文化學系 D Message from the Head In the Strategic Plan 2009-12 and Beyond released in 2009, our Institute put forth the idea of "Education-plus" for developing key discipline areas complementary to education studies. The Department of Literature and Cultural Studies (LCS) follows the "Education-plus" vision in its development of research activities and course offerings in the fields of literary and cultural studies. Currently, the Department is concentrating its research efforts on such areas as Chinese literature, intellectual history, children's literature, Hong Kong literature, and new English literatures. To strengthen the broad domain of culture, we have recruited academic staff specialising in modern Chinese and Hong Kong history. In the wake of the Programme Area Accreditation (PAA) exercise, we have also been further developing our English literature and cultural studies. In the near future, LCS will launch new elective courses, GE courses, and new minors such as "Film and Popular Culture" and "Chinese Religions and Culture" to enhance our students' literary and cultural knowledge as well as to broaden their intellectual horizons.

We are also proud to offer language support of all sorts including Putonghua, Cantonese and English, not only to help our students to meet the "Language Exit Requirements" stated in the Language Policy but also to enhance the language learning environment in campus by working with language professionals in refining our curriculums from time to time. For the coming academic year 2014/15, CLE will implement a newly refined English enhancement programme, and introduce international tutors to work with us in providing language support. Other new initiatives for Chinese and Putonghua will also be in place for students. We welcome students to visit our website at http://www.ied.edu.hk/cle/en/ or our General Office at B2-G/F-03 for more information. Our administrative staff will be more than happy to help. Professor Cheng Kat Hung, Dennis ( 鄭吉雄教授) Head, Centre for Language in Education L Arthur Samy Language Learning Centre (ASLLC) ASLLC Week anguage games, apps, tongue-twisters, a fun-fair atmosphere and a constant stream of students eager to play proved a successful combination at the first ASLLC Week, held from 10 – 14 March 2014 at the Institute's self-access centre. Around 216 students tested their language skills for almost 600 times during the threeday event and in the process collected chops in the hope of winning student-friendly prizes. They were guided in their quest by 13 English language majors and ASLLC language instructors, who encouraged, cajoled and adjudicated in the name of fair play. The event was organised by Ms. Li Yuk Yi (research assistant) and Mr. Herbert Lam (executive assistant) to promote independent language learning and the support offered at the ASLLC. Despite keen gaming by the students, several winners tied, so a head-to-head competition was held before the end of March to settle scores and award prizes.

Department & Centre Highlights 16 East Asia. Relevant perspectives on Asian popular culture include postcolonial studies, migration studies, urban and spatial studies, gender studies, and cultural history. There is also a focus on new multilingual and multicultural forms of culture in Asian settings, which are increasingly replacing their traditional monolingual/multicultural predecessors. From a linguistic perspective, there is a particular interest in the language and discourse of modern Asian popular culture. Located in The Hong Kong Institute of Education, the CPCH will also maintain a focus on educational implications and applications of developments in popular culture. This includes a continued interest in the uses of popular culture in language and literacy curricula in Hong Kong schools, as well as an interest in the role of popular culture in Humanities disciplines and General Education at the tertiary level. Listed below are some of the CPCH past achievements: Hosting the First International Conference on Popular Culture and Education 2009 Hosting the Second International Conference on Popular Culture and Education 2011 Publication of a special issue of Pedagogies: An International Journal in 2011, which contained papers from the 2009 conference Publication of the 3-volume Popular Culture in the Hong Kong Senior Secondary School English Curriculum in 2013 In the near future, the CPCH will organise a number of research sharing sessions and guest lectures; it is also planning to co-host an international conference on Hong Kong history in 2015 and exploring the possibility of launching Knowledge Transfer (KT) projects. he Centre for Popular Culture in the Humanities (CPCH), previously known as The Centre for Popular Culture and Education, was established in 2010. In the transition from the Faculty of Languages to the Faculty of Humanities, the development of research expertise in areas complementary to education is a priority. Popular culture is one cross-disciplinary area that offers considerable potential for development through research that bridges language and linguistics, literature and new media within the broad frameworks of Language Studies and Cultural Studies. The CPCH will adopt a broad view of popular culture that covers both the culture of everyday life and its mediation through print (newspapers, magazines, literature), multimodal media (music, cinema, photography and advertising, visual and material culture), and new digital media of various kinds. From the vantage point of Hong Kong, the CPCH will explore issues of popular culture in the Humanities from an Asian perspective. The study of everyday popular culture, for example, is studied in the context of the urban spaces of the modern and postmodern Asian city, while mediated popular culture is studied in the context of the developing popular culture industries of entre for Popular Culture in the Humanities 流行文化與人文學研究中心 C For more information about CPCH, please visit http://www.ied.edu.hk/cpch T
Alumni News 17 nder the Education-plus vision of the Institute, the Faculty of Humanities has introduced the BA(Lang Studies) programme, comprising the Chinese Major and the English Major, to cultivate graduates who are biliterate and trilingual, and who are critical thinkers with analytical ability to learn from varied contexts. The programme was validated by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic & Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) in January 2010 and started to admit students in September of the same year. Over 90% of the first cohort, who graduated in 2013, are now either employed or pursuing further studies. The non-education fields in which the graduates are engaged include banking and finance, community and social services, media, publication, hospitality and tourism, and business services. With its successful revalidation in November 2013, the programme will build upon its existing strengths and continue to nurture highly competent graduates with excellent communication skills. achelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies Programme 語文研究榮譽文學士課程 B 筆後語聞 畢業後，我選擇從事傳媒工作，一個主要發揮文字力量的行業。現為日報副刊記者，日常工 作就是搜集資料，外出採訪並作出報導。因為兩文三語的根柢打得不錯，所以與被訪者溝通 或在工作時遇到的困難並不大；由於我不是傳理系出身，始終在報導手法、角度切入、文字 運用上仍需要時間磨練。我的記者資歷雖然尚淺，但曾在兩間風格上南轅北轍的報社工作， 當中令我明白到兩者雖同屬傳播媒體，但不同機構都各有自己的風格及文化，因此每當轉 換環境時，需努力適應並作出相應的調整。 工作中不乏各種各樣的挑戰，既陌生卻又新鮮，除了需要接觸不同界別的人士外，各 類拍攝工作也是挑戰之一。一些題材如中醫美容食療，便需要自己準備所需材料， 預備好製成品及裝飾配置，才可拍攝資料圖片。如今即使是日報，也漸漸走向多媒 體，拍攝訪問錄像也是報導的一環。其實早在讀書時期，我們已需學習怎樣把事 情以文字或多媒體形式展示出來，所以到了工作崗位，便是實踐所學的最佳時 候了。老實說，從事任何行業，都需要兩文三語，只要事先裝備這些基本功， 投身社會時便能更加順利。大家準備好了沒有？ 梁蔚澄同學 語文研究榮譽文學士課程 ( 中文主修) 畢業生 U Successful Undergraduate Education Paves the Way for our Future It has been almost a year since I graduated from HKIEd. I am glad that my solid training in literary and cultural studies has provided me with the necessary skills and knowledge for my postgraduate studies and for my current work for the Hong Kong International Literary Festival. The biliterate and trilingual training I received during my undergraduate studies has met the needs of my job. Working for the Hong Kong International Literary Festival, I have to contact writers from different countries. In addition to language, the literary knowledge I gained during my undergraduate years also plays an important role in my job. The diverse courses offered by BA(Lang Studies) allowed me to explore my areas of interest and to pursue further academic goals. I have entered an MA Programme in Literary and Cultural Studies at another university. Though it is never easy to read and digest critical theories, the BA courses that I took at the Institute have laid a solid foundation for my academic advancement.
