The Project aims at enhancing teachers’ capacity in strengthening NCS preschoolers’ Chinese proficiency through adopting “Chinese Language Learning Progression Framework for Non-Chinese Speaking Children in Kindergartens” (the Framework). It include equipping teachers to utilize the Framework to (a) build up and adjust the school-based curriculum; (b) cater for students’ learning diversity; and (c) diagnose the learning difficulties encountered by the NCS students. The Project will work with 16 kindergartens altogether in achieving the above goals.

This three-year thematic series has successfully completed in August 2020. During the three-year project period, the Centre is as an education hub in to disseminate good practices and impactful outcomes derived from our previous QEF project entitled ‘Development of Chinese Language Learning Progression Framework for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Children in Kindergartens in Hong Kong (2013/0076)’ and promote professional sharing through networking 32 kindergartens (school times) in Hong Kong.
