Preliminary Research Findings
Foreign text materials are an important source of providing appropriate learning and teaching materials for students. Attempts have been made to grade the foreign text materials so as to draw an equivalence with the text materials. The grading is done according to the Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3 (roughly P1 to S3 textbook level) specified in the English Language Syllabus for Primary Schools (1997) and the English Language Syllabus for Secondary Schools (1999) prepared by the Curriculum Development Council. Please see the following of the graded foreign text materials categorized by two types - by levels and by book titles.
