Dr Lam Ho-cheong, Assistant Professor at the Department of Early Childhood Education, The Education University of Hong Kong, received a Publication Award in Language Learning at the Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Awards 2021.

Learning Chinese characters can be hard, and Dr Lam’s award-winning publication (《大同小異：辨識漢字不同處》) helps learners identify the differences between Chinese characters. It analyses components, pronunciations and the stroke orders of Chinese characters with real life examples, and provides tips on how to teach children.

The Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Awards 2021 are presented to outstanding publishing groups or individuals based in Hong Kong.
