The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies and Bachelor of Education (Honours)(English Language) (Co-terminal Double Degree) programme organised an External Examiner’s visit during 8 to 10 of November 2017. It was a great pleasure to have Professor Icy Lee from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) giving a public seminar on the topic ‘Bridging the Idealism-Realism Gap in the Writing Classroom’ during her stay here at EdUHK.
The seminar focused on the improvement of learning, teaching and assessment of writing in Hong Kong schools. In the seminar, Professor Lee shared teachers’ actual implementation in the writing classroom with a comparison to the principles and recommendations provided by the Curriculum Development Council. Suggestions were provided with the aim of bridging the idealism-realism gap. The seminar benefited more than fifty students and other members of the University.
Professor Lee also met programme team members, colleagues and students during the visit. Ways of enhancing learning and teaching quality as well as academic standards were discussed through different dialogue sessions.
