双语阅读2023（BR2023）为研究儿童中英文阅读能力、习惯和态度的趋势，以及评估香港与读写能力有关的政策和实践的系列中的第六次研究。 BR研究系列采用了国际教育成就评估协会（IEA）的国际阅读素养进展研究（PIRLS），该研究提供了全球四年级儿童阅读能力的比较数据。香港的PIRLS评估进行的是对中文的研究，BR研究进而测试中文和英文的阅读能力。

将有约40名校长、80名中文和英文教师、2400名家长和2400名小四学生参与BR2023研究。有关学生的阅读成绩、人口背景、家庭支持、学校政策、课程和课堂实践的基线数据将被汇集到背景数据库中；再辅以资料收集与研究参考小组，进行数据的整合与分析，从而得出教育政策和实践（如阅读教学方法）对学生阅读成绩影响的评估。

为了解香港双语读写能力在二十年间的变化，BR2023研究将结合之前的BR2004、BR2007、BR2010、BR2013和BR2016研究进行大规模的追踪、历时描述与比较。 BR2023有三个目标。

首先，通过添加新的动机量表，本研究将检测阅读成绩、参与度和动机之间的关系，以探究香港学生一直以来在阅读中出现的高分低动机现象。

其次，本研究还将检验中文和英语在策略运用对阅读表现的影响，从而探究可能提升二语习得的方法。

最后，本研究还将探讨小学课程和中文课堂中的教学媒介语如何影响双语阅读表现，为将来制定关于教学媒介语的政策与决策提供实证依据。

总而言之，BR2023就提升双语阅读素养的议题提供反思决策的研究成果；对于政策制定者、课程规划者、阅读教材和评估设计者、家长，乃至学生，都将受益。

数学学习领域的研究发现，幼童的数字能力往往关系到他们以后的数学成绩及职业成功，而家长跟幼童的数字对话则能促进幼童的数学学习。究竟哪些类型的数字对话在促进幼童数学学习方面的效果更好，目前少有研究关注。最近有证据显示，如果家长能够鼓励幼童运用数学知识解决日常生活中的问题，幼童的数学成绩就会提升。

在本研究计画中，我们把家长在日常生活中鼓励幼童运用数字知识的谈话定义为“家长的数字应用对话”，我们推测，这种对话可能有助于幼童的数字学习。为了验证这种推测，我们计画对幼稚园儿童及家长实施两项介入研究。两项研究中都包含三个亲子组合：数字应用对话组、非应用数字对话组和安慰剂控制组。

研究一是一项包括159个亲子组合的简短介入实验，研究二则是一项包括180个亲子组合的长期介入实验。我们期待这两项实验的研究发现可以帮我们找到促进幼童数学学习的方法，以及如何在亲职教育中透过亲子互动帮助幼童学习数学的有效途径。

Due to the success of the Growth-2 project (2019-22), the Project Investigator was invited by QEF to implement QEF Thematic Network to further promote professional sharing and good practices to the wider community in the upcoming year.

The Growth-2 project initiated a thorough and comprehensive study to untangle the barriers that P.1 multicultural students face during transition. Through the Teacher Learning Community and Professional Development programme, kindergarten and primary school teachers were equipped with and encouraged to enhance their teaching of literacy ability, integrate reading and writing, and make use of picture books. In particular, through picture book reading, students were encouraged to know better their primary schools, build self-reliant abilities as well as discuss their transition problems so as to form the solutions to understand and handle their worries and difficulties. Efforts were made to enhance the Chinese ability of P.1 multicultural students to promote smooth transition.

The Project period runs from September 2022 to August 2023 funded by Quality Education Fund Thematic Network*. Dr. WM Cheung, member of the CACLER, applied and mentioned the Centre as the major part of the research infrastructure. The co-investigators are Prof. Hector W. H.

许多面对读写困难的学童都因为读写能力不足而令其学业成绩未如理想，在将来就业时亦可能需要克服种种挑战，以致错失人生的不同机会。 更甚的是，香港的中、英文双语教学环境使他们在学业上的负担更为沉重。 过往的研究发现，对以中文作为母语的学童而言，他们的中文阅读能力能够预测其英文阅读能力。 因此，在教导患有读写障碍的华语学生不同的阅读技巧时，这些阅读策略皆以中文为主。 然而，中文为意音并重的语素文字，以汉字为基础，英文则为表音文字，以拉丁字母为基础。 两者的书写系统不同，所要求的认知技巧亦有显著的差异。 故此，理论上，提升中文阅读能力的策略应难以直接应用于改善英文阅读能力上。 过往绝少有针对患有读写障碍的华语学生发展英文读写能力的研究，所以本计划将启动两项研究以验证上述推论，并为患有读写障碍的华语学生在培养英文读写能力的 过程中，订立合适的支援及辅助建议。 研究一将以初小学生作为研究对象，探究语音技巧如何预测患有读写障碍的华语学生的英文阅读表现。 研究二将尝试两种有关语音技巧的阅读策略，并找出它们对改善不同组别患有读写障碍的学生中文水平的成效。 参与研究一的学童将会接受语音意识或语音技巧的训练。 在训练结束后，研究团队会评核他们的英文读写能力及相关的阅读技巧，以检视训练成效。 由于诊断读写障碍只需考虑第一语言的能力，本研究将让我们深入了解患有读写障碍的华语学童在学习英文上的情况。 了解这个关连后，便能够按他们的语音意识水平而订立有效的英文学习介入方案。

奠定学术生涯成功的基础：发展大学本科生在中文教育学科领域中跨文本的信息处理能力

Alongside a paradigm shift towards practice-based learning in teacher education, micro-teaching is an increasingly important pedagogical approach to developing preservice teachers’ core professional knowledge. However, in the current design of BBED 4202: Pedagogy II: Teaching Chinese in Putonghua and Teaching Putonghua, two areas have not been addressed well. First, peer assessment is not reviewed by the students who receive it. Second, while reflection prompts are provided, the quality of reflection also varies, so it is not clear if students develop the skills necessary to becoming reflective practitioners.

To address the above two issues, the proposed project will therefore develop a technology-enhanced micro-teaching model, incorporating two activities – peer review and reflection – that have previously been found highly beneficial to the development of preservice teachers’ practical knowledge. For more details, the specific objectives are as follows:

1. To develop a technology-enhanced microteaching model for assessment and feedback;

2. To facilitate students’ development of core teaching practices;

3. To develop students’ skills at peer-reviewing via microteaching;

4. To cultivate reflective preservice teachers; and

5. To disseminate the developed technology-enhanced microteaching model within and beyond the Faculty of Education.

The Project funded by Teaching Development Grant (TDG) [1], which has been completed at the end of August 2022. Dr. HC Lin, member of the CACLER, applied and mentioned the Centre as part of the research infrastructure. The co-investigators included Dr. SY Hui.

(教学发展补助金) 透过同侪互评与反思增强微格教学

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, it created a great deal of challenges to pre-service Chinese teachers, as they were not prepared for the sudden changes to online teaching. It is not very obvious to many pre-service teachers how Chinese reading can be taught interactively online. Many pre-service Chinese language teachers have not received training to teach online, and their lack of online learning experience also creates a barrier that prevent them from developing creative and effective online reading lessons.

Besides, the government proposed STEM education for the first time in the 2015 Policy Address (Education Bureau 2016). According to the latest CLEKLAG (P1-S6) 2017, there are about 8 Key Learning Area Curriculum Guides. These include:

1.Opening learning materials and attaching importance to classic readings

2.Broadening the scope of reading, increasing the amount of reading, and enhancing the depth of reading

3.Cooperating with the development of information technology education, and enhancing the effectiveness of learning and teaching in Chinese language. The above information reflects that the Education Bureau emphasizes reading and technology application in Chinese language education. It also promotes the good use of information technology for boosting learning and teaching through online and blended modes.

The Project aims to:

1. To develop an online model of skill-based training for increasing interactions, feedback, and reflection

2. To increase students’ knowledge of theories and practices in teaching Chinese reading through online and blended modes

3. To enhance students’ capacities of using technological tools for teaching reading online

4. To develop reflective teachers through peer-reviewing and reflection

The Project period runs from April 2021 to November 2022 funded by University Grants Committee (UGC) [1]. Dr. HC Lin, member of the CACLER, applied and mentioned the Centre as part of the research infrastructure. The co-investigators included Dr. SY Hui.

透过中文第二语言学习架构为跨语言学习者发展多元中文教学策略

The CACLER has continuously raised its own profile by enhancing the policy impact through extensive high-quality research. Mention must be made on the eighth rounds of in-depth analyses service since 2014 on the scripts covering 4 key stages (Primary 1 to Secondary 6) sampled from schools’ use of the "Chinese Language Assessment Tools for NCS students" in conjunction with the "Learning Framework"[1] with a view to investigate Chinese language performance of NCS students in reading and writing domains. The analyses in this year will need to facilitate the consolidation and comparison of data and findings of previous analyses from 2013/14 to 2020/21 with supporting data and evidence to track the learning progress.

The cross-year report, one of the deliverables, will help the policy maker to identify trends / gaps and areas of strengths and weaknesses of NCS Students in general in learning the Chinese language at each key stage, as compared to the basic competencies of typical Chinese-speaking students in terms of what they could do in the domains of writing and reading Chinese for each ability group broadly referred to as High, Medium and Low on a territory-wide basis in Chinese proficiency at each of Key Stage (Primary 1 to Secondary 6). It will also provide recommendations for relevant key stakeholders of the public school sector and policy implications, if any.

The Project Team is required to provide services on analysing the scripts covering 4 key stages (P1 to S6) sampled from schools' use of the "Assessment Tools" in the 2020/21 school year, compare NCS Students' performance in the current school year with previous cohorts since 2013/14, and conduct a Case Study to achieve the following objectives:

(i) To understand the overall performance and track the progress of NCS Students in learning the Chinese language under the enhanced support measures;

(ii) To identify trends/gaps and areas of strengths and weaknesses of NCS Students in learning Chinese in general;

(iii) To raise recommendations for relevant key stakeholders of the public school sector and policy implications at the system level; and

(iv) To identify effective school practices in enhancing NCS Students' learning effectiveness in learning Chinese and the contributing factors thereof for reference of other schools.

This is the eigth round of this analyses service project since 2014, which was led by <a href="https://www.cacler.hku.hk/hk/research/project/provision-of-services-on-analyses-of-the-learning-performance-in-chinese-language-of-non-chinese-speaking-ncs-students-in" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prof. SK Tse in the first three rounds (2014, 2015 &amp; 2016)</a> and then by Dr. SY Hui starting from 2017.

全球学生阅读能力进展研究 2016

The project has the following objectives: 1) The Fourth Study on the Progress in Chinese and English Reading Literacy Study (BR2013) is the fourth study in a series (following BR2004, BR2007 and BR2010). The present study operates in a three-year cycle of assessment and measures trends in children's bilingual reading literacy attainment in relation to policy and practice changes. The data collection period will be conducted from April to June in 2013. 2) The effects of using Cantonese or Putonghua as the MOI on Chinese reading literacy will be robustly analyzed. 3) The impact on students’ bilingual reading performance of implementing “reading across the curriculum” policies in Chinese and English will be investigated. 4) The impact on bilingual reading performance of students’ reading habits, self-concept as readers, attitudes towards reading, teaching methods and classroom reading activities, home reading environment and parents’ attitudes toward reading will be investigated.

The Fourth Study on the Progress in Chinese and English Reading Literacy Study (in 2013) at Primary 4 in Hong Kong and Approaches to and Strategies for Enhancing the Quality of Teaching and Learning of Reading

This project provides 1) an estimation of 22 student support programmes (SSP) which are operated in 15 venues for NCS students and the SSP offers lessons to NCS students after school hours and /or during non-public school holidays including Saturdays. 2) an estimation of 10 teacher workshops per school year which are led by experienced practitioners who have both theoretical background and practical experiences in teaching Chinese as a second language. The SSP aims to support the integration of NCS students into local education system; to provide NCS students with assistance in overcoming the difficulties in the learning of Chinese Language; to equip NCS students for taking the relevant exit examinations upon their graduation from school; to empower NCS students for self-learning of Chinese Language; and to facilitate NCS students the cross-cultural learning among the languages that they know.

Provision of Services (2012) for Running of Chinese Language Learning Support Centres for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students  (Ref: EDB/NCS/SEC-04 (2012))

This three-year project aims at 1) Building teachers’ and curriculum leaders’ capacity on planning and developing effective instructional and assessment strategies to foster the learning of NCS children in kindergartens from a multicultural perspective with major focus on teaching and learning of Chinese as a second language in Hong Kong; 2) Generating knowledge on curriculum planning, effective instructional and assessment strategies for the learning of pre-primary NCS children with major focus on teaching and learning of Chinese language in Hong Kong; and developing exemplary research-based good practices on school-based curriculum planning, effective instructional and assessment strategies and diagnostic tools for assessing the learning needs of NCS children. The project will provide intensive school support and professional development programmes to pre-primary educators of kindergartens who are teaching NCS children to develop a multicultural educational perspective which is fully embedded in their organizational culture and solidly anchored with good practices and knowledge generated for their daily practices and further development.

Assessment for Learning: Enhancing Students’ Writing Ability in Liberal Studies by Subject-specific Genre Teaching (QEF Ref:  2009/0440)

This project, collaborated with the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, will focus on the art of singing voices of Leung Yi Chung and Leung So Kam and their contribution to the development of their “Leung Style” singing voice. Apart from studying the heritage and culture of Cantonese opera in an ethnographical way, it will also study the unique voice of the “Leung Style” singing from the scientific perspective. The speech and hearing specialist will use acoustic measurements (voice recording) to compare the special voice ("hong") with a normal (or standard) Cantonese opera singing voice or to use an endoscope to view the vocal folds in the production of the special and standard voices.

The development of a school-based Chinese Language curriculum – Hon Wah College (cum Primary Section)

This Bilingual Reading (BR) project, after BR04 and BR07, will be the 3rd in a 3-year cycle of assessment that measures trends in children's bilingual reading literacy achievement, and policy and practices related to literacy. It aims to explore (1) the Chinese reading literacy of pupils using Cantonese or Putonghua as their MOI will be compared; (2) impacts of "small class size" on teaching approaches of English and Chinese reading and pupils' bilingual reading performance will be investigated; and (3) Impacts of pupils' reading habits, self-concept and attitudes, teaching methods, classroom reading activities, home reading environment and parents' attitudes towards reading on bilingual reading performance will be investigated.

The Progress in Chinese and English Reading Literacy Study (in 2010) at Primary 4 in HK and Approaches to and Strategies for Enhancing the Quality of the Teaching and Learning of Reading

The Project aims 1) to inform teachers and help them develop creative teaching behaviors to enhance their teaching in Chinese by means of Learning Studies; 2) to examine the cultural relevance and validate the Creative Teaching Framework to creative teaching behaviors of teachers in Hong Kong; 3) to examine the impact of Learning Studies on teachers’ creative teaching using the framework set out in objective ii and qualitative analysis of lessons; 4) to examine achievement gains in writing and reading among primary students as a result of the creative teaching developed by objective; and 5) To explore the relationship between creative teaching behaviors of teachers and achievement gains in writing and reading among primary students

Enhancing creative teaching behaviors by Learning Study and its impact on writing and reading abilities of Primary school students in Hong Kong

Enhancing students’ reading literacy as the learning of a complex learning object will be studied in two different cultural contexts. As previous studies were carried out either in Sweden or Hong Kong, it is not sure if the findings are valid in other cultural contexts. This raises the need to: 
1. discern critical features of enhancing reading literacy in Sweden and Hong Kong 
2. develop theoretical tools of enhancing reading in Chinese and Swedish Language teaching in the learning studies 
3. explore ways participating teachers handle the lessons to foster students’ reading literacy, and 
4. describe similarities and differences in enhancing reading in Sweden and Hong Kong 
The project also evaluates the effectiveness of the implementation of the variation theory in improving students’ reading literacy. We study learning both in short- and long-term perspectives in line with our findings on generative learning (Holmqvist et al., 2007) and Vygotskij’s findings (2001) on the same topic. Vygotskij’s claim parallels our findings that more complex or higher functions require a more general understanding which seems to develop learning behind the learning situation (generative learning). 
This is the first major in-depth study looking into the impact of both school-level or classroom-level elements on reading achievement of primary students in Sweden and HK. The findings will help authorities and schools develop reading policies and curricula, and help teachers improve teaching pedagogies (especially the use of teaching resources in reading, types and organizations of classroom reading activities, teaching of reading skills and strategies and so on).

The Same Theoretical Approach in Two Different Cultures

The project aims 1) to examine the place and inclusion of HK in the network of international reading assessment and promoting collaboration among governments of different countries and jurisdictions on reading assessment policies; 2) to measure the reading literacy attainment of students and comparing these against the attainment of counterparts in other countries / jurisdictions; 3) to compare teachers' instructional practices against those used by teachers in other countries/jurisdictions and investigating their effectiveness in nurturing students' reading ability; 4) to examine educational policies and practices against globally-defined reading literacy benchmarks; 5) to examine the effectiveness of elementary school education and early reading instruction in schools in promoting reading literacy among primary-age students; 6) to investigate the factors that affect students' literacy performance and how they affect reading literacy attainment; 7) to track changes in HK students' reading literacy in PIRLS 2001, PIRLS 2006 and PIRLS 2011; 8) to investigate local factors (including but not limited to pedagogical practices with regard to reading instruction and assessment, curriculum reform and other reform measures introduced by the Education Bureau) that have caused changes in students' reading literacy performance in 2011 compared with standards in PIRLS 2001 and PIRLS 2006; and 9) to propose measures to improve and foster students' reading literacy by making comparisons against students in high-performing countries/jurisdictions.
