Career Prospects   The BEd(CL) programme is designed to provide students with the disciplinary and professional competency to teach the subject of Chinese Language. As Chinese Language teachers in Hong Kong must possess the relevant professional qualifications, this has created a huge demand for professionally trained Chinese Language teachers in Hong Kong. Graduates of the programme are eligible to apply to become fully qualified and registered teachers of Chinese Language in primary or secondary sector.   Note: Students admitted into this programme are normally assigned a focus of study (i.e. primary or secondary level) by the end of their first year of study. The focus of study will be reflected in the arrangements for their Field Experience and adopted for the purpose of application for Qualified Teacher Status in Hong Kong upon graduation. This programme is designed to provide students with the disciplinary and professional competency to teach in both primary and secondary schools. However, recognition of Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) in primary or secondary schools in Hong Kong is subject to the decision of the Education Bureau (EDB). Graduates of this programme are required to approach the Teacher Registration Section of the EDB to submit applications directly and that all applications will be assessed by the EDB.

唐裕辰 「在大學五年，我學到了不少新的知識。本科的學習提升了我對中文的學識水平，更令我學會如何運用不同的教學策略去教好學生。另外，我亦參加了不少的活動，如「心意相通」關愛計劃、傑出準教師選舉等，這些活動令我學會如何成為一個專業、關愛學生的教師。同時，不同的教學工作不但豐富了我的教學經驗，更讓我了解到如何與學生相處。畢業後，我希望能成為一位中文科老師，並繼續學習，增進自身的教學水平，帶領學生一同探索其潛能，發揮其所長。 」   Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese Language) - 2022 Graduate 孔銘隆 「回顧這五年，教大給予我不同機會，讓我能探索到人生的路向，成就自我。中國語文教育榮譽學士課程涵蓋了「中文教育專業」與「本科知識」，一方面培養了我的專業技能，例如教學法培訓、教學語言訓練、教學實習等，讓我能裝備自己，學習成為一位專業的中文教師；另一方面，課程亦豐富了我的本科學養，我在「文學創作」、「現代文學」、「古代文學」等不同科目獲益不少，老師亦鼓勵我在本科領域發揮自己的潛能，令我有幸在這領域獲取不少的成就。這些都是優秀教師不可或缺的素養。這幾年在教大獲得的知識、技能、機會，拓闊了我的眼界，我在這幾年逐漸確立了自己的目標——期望我能立足香港，放眼世界，為「中文」和「教育」作出一點貢獻。感謝教大和中國語文教育榮譽學士課程給予我的一切。」   Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese Language) - 2021 Graduate

• Students admitted into this programme starting from the 2023/24 cohort are required to visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) for a short trip (e.g. 1-day or 2-day 1-night trip) in order to complete the Cross-Faculty Core Course. While the GBA trip is heavily subsidised, students are still required to contribute 18% of the best estimated cost of the trip ("student contribution"), whereas personal entertainment, meals expenses, visa application fee and personal insurance costs will not be supported. The estimated cost of the GBA trip for students admitted to the 2023/24 cohort is not available yet as it is subject to a variety of factors such as changes to the cost of the GBA trip as a result of inflation, trip duration, traveling expenses, the exchange rate, etc. The exact amount of student contribution is thus not available.
