The project is a good starting point to infuse national identify into the English Language curriculum.

It is not easy to measure 'pride' and ' identity' after completion of one unit. So, it would be better if a long-planning is conducted.

Group 3

Have adopted various strategies to promote NE, e.g. natural connection, multiple strategies

Some suggestions for consideration:

Introduce and highlight some outstanding athletes from the Mainland to heighten students’ national awareness
At the action level, design a task related to students’ daily life to help them put into practice what they have learnt in the module

takeit2themax369 — 2023-12-01 02:04:30 UTC

The integration of cognition, affect and action is clear. Besides focusing on athletes in HK and on the Mainland, you may also focusing on athletes in the school.

The simulated job-seeking activity and the individual counselling session provide an authentic context for students to apply what they have learnt in earlier stages. They are really helpful for students to make more informed decisions regarding the selection of subjects and make connections between career choice and subject selection.

Group 4 (Vivian's case)

2023-12-01 02:05:00 UTC

The elements of proper values and attitudes can be highlighted in the project.

Teachers can think about how to link LPE and VE more closely.

adalam1013 — 2023-12-01 02:05:03 UTC

To develop students' national identity, will you include Chinese athletes in the unit? Or relating the Hong Kong athletes with our nation?

A good context for promting nationsl identity; good to align with one of the learning goals, can cover the 3 domains of VE, a potential csse if l and t evidence included

2023-12-01 02:05:24 UTC

Suggestion: for actiom domain, more able ss can talk about their positive contributions to China.

adalam1013 — 2023-12-01 02:06:44 UTC

You can highlight cross-committee/KLAs as a strategy you use.

Good that needs analysis has been included. Different mres included. How to develop ss' goal setting

Group 3

2023-12-01 02:40:27 UTC

Planning tool is effective for teachers to visualise the English language features embedded and the rationale behind different tasks.

Group 4 (Peggy's case)

2023-12-01 02:41:29 UTC

It is good to use

Self-reflection tool in the project for scenario case discussion which is more related to students' daily life.
A variety of resources (e.g. DSE paper)

Suggestions: encouraging students to take part in different internship programmes, using job shadowing.

To answer the question regarding 'more practical', what data can be used to evaluate the result?

Detailed needs analysis; in deth study well supported by sound theoretical frameworks, comprehensive coverage with different aspects included

2023-12-01 02:43:11 UTC

takeit2themax369 — 2023-12-01 02:43:20 UTC

Good understanding of LaC and CLIL. Adding the thinking routines is also a great idea.

Any chance for visiting content subject Ts' lessons to observe them teaching the things planned?

2023-12-01 02:43:58 UTC

Group 3

2023-12-01 02:44:26 UTC

Different thinking routines and tools are incorporated in the LaC project.

takeit2themax369 — 2023-12-01 02:44:33 UTC

Using DSE past papers is a good way to motivate teachers and students

Interesting to invite students to work out the code of conduct, a meaning ful case, but clearer to separate actions and strategies

2023-12-01 02:46:16 UTC

How much time will students spend on slashers?

2023-12-01 02:48:07 UTC

Open-ended research questions
