E02 Are there better ways to teach the simple past tense?MS Power Point

Teaching of the past tense to primary school students has been a headache to local English teachers. The learning of the past simple is inherently difficult to local Chinese students because their mother tongue does not have the past tense morpheme. Form-focused grammar exercises, which encourage mechanical manipulation with little or no account of the context in which the tense occurs, are not of much help to students. The fact that students have little exposure to the use of the past tense in their everyday life has further complicated the situation. ……<Please click here for details>

E03 How to use classroom questioning and feedback effectively in English KLA ”MS Power Point

How to use classroom questioning and feedback effectively in order to improve students' learning is a common concern of teachers nowadays. TSA performances, ESR and QAD reports indicate that there is a need to improve this area of concern essential to quality learning. The Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) Reports (2004 - 2008) inform us that quite a high percentage of P3 and P6 students were found to have difficulty in drawing the main ideas, inferring meaning and understanding attitudes and intentions in reading materials. ……<Please click here for details>

E05 One step further ─ integrating reading strategies training into the curriculumMS Power Point
Part 1MS Word Part 2MS Word

Many schools began to introduce authentic reading materials into the English curriculum. However, research in the last few decades point to the fact that the readers do not merely decode message from the writers in the reading process but also construct meaning from the texts (Nuttall, 1996). Reading strategies were found very useful for the readers in the process of meaning construction (Hosenfeld, 1977 and Block 1996). ……<Please click here for details>

E06 Catering for inter-class diversity in English language teachingMS Power Point

Most schools in Hong Kong stream students and group them into different ability classes. Teachers in general agree that the needs and interests of these students across classes are different. Yet, there is often an unresolved tension between teachers of high ability groups and teachers of low ability groups over such constraints as uniform school-based curriculum and common assessment tools. ……<Please click here fro details>
