After the first Conference co-organized by our two research project teams (USP-Primary and USP-Transition Projects) in early 2015, the second big event entitled ‘Experience Sharing Seminar on the Teaching and Learning of Chinese for Non-Chinese Speaking Kindergarten and Primary School Students’ was held on 29-30/4/2016 at Graduate House in our University.
The three keynote speeches were delivered by:
Prof. Nirmala Rao, Chair Professor and Serena H.C. Yang Professor in Early Childhood Development and Education, whose presentation topic was “勝出接力賽 – 家校同心衝出重圍”
Dr. W.I. Lam, Project Leader of “USP-Transition Research Project”, whose presentation topic was “舉足輕重 – 幼小階段的中文學習 (一)”
Dr. W. M. Cheung, Associate Professor of Faculty of Education; Project Leader of “USP-Primary Project”, whose presentation topic was “孰輕孰重 幼小階段的中文學習(二)”
It had an overwhelming success and attended by over 150 teachers and education practitioners coming from 70 schools, education sectors and institutions. Prof. N. Rao delivered a keynote speech on ‘Home-school Cooperation in Early Childhood Education’ while Dr. WM Cheung and Dr. JWI Lam, the two project leaders, shared their research findings as well as experience on effective L2 Chinese language pedagogy, with special focus on the transition issues from kindergarten to primary level.
