Saturday seminars for English teachers and subject teachers has become ELE’s tradition.
It has been a tradition for the Department of English Language Education (ELE) to present a series of Saturday seminars for English teachers and subject teachers of both primary and secondary schools. This year the seminar series were held in both the spring and fall of 2017.
The seminars aimed to enhance teachers’ professional development in areas relating to language 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 Certificate in Professional Development Programmes (PDPs) to teachers.
These 3-hour seminars held on Saturday mornings at EdUHK, Tai Po Campus and were well attended attracting more than 500 applicant teachers. We were pleased to read post-seminar comments that were very positive.
