3 FHM Newsletter ． 人文學院通訊 Message from the Dean Turning Challenges into Opportunities Welcome to the 3rd issue of the Faculty of Humanities’ Newsletter. In line with the Institute’s strategic development into a multidisciplinary university, the Faculty of Humanities (FHM) has overcome huge challenges to go through a long way from the Faculty’s restructuring, the revalidation of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies to the Programme Area Accreditation in Chinese Studies and English Studies until we have reached the final step for the university title recently. On 9 and 10 February 2015, the University Grants Committee (UGC) Review Group Panel conducted a visit to HKIEd to review the Institute’s application for the university title. The Review Group is now working on its Report to be presented to UGC around September 2015, for the latter’s submission to the Education Bureau’s consideration and recommendation to the Executive Council for approval. Although the final outcome is yet to be known, I do trust that with our rigorous preparation and proven capability, we have together demonstrated to the Panel our strengths and quality in developing into a multidisciplinary university. As part of our efforts contributing to this mission, the Faculty has been designing new programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, such as the new 5-year Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History) (BEd (HIST)) which is an Institutewide initiative to offer a greater variety of choices to potential students interested in subjects across the broad fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences. An interview with Dr. Barry Crosbie, the Programme Leader-Designate of the new BEd(HIST) will give you more insights about the objectives and unique features of this brand new programme which will be launched in 2015/16 academic year. Taking this opportunity, I also wish to congratulate a number of Faculty members who have been highly recognised for their excellent achievements in teaching and research. First of all, let me congratulate Dr. Chan Chi-tak (LCS) who was named Artist of the Year (Arts Criticism) at the 2014 Hong Kong Arts Development Awards organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in April 2015. In addition, Dr. Yip Cheuk Wai’s (LCS) book titled “Emotion is What Matters: Chinese Literature” was selected as one of the best 100 Teen Reads (thoughts and morals, humanities and history) in 2014 by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of The People’s Republic of China. In the 2013/14 Teaching Awards Scheme, we were very pleased to honour Dr. Man Ying Ling (CHL), the recipient of the Excellence in Teaching Award; and Dr. Chuk Yim Ping (LML) and Ms. Blanche Chu (CLE) who were both awarded the Certificate of Merit. In the latest 2015 World University Rankings released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) in April 2015, HKIEd has a quantum leap in its position in the area of Education – from 51-100 last year to the 15th in the world and 3rd in Asia this year. Our Linguistics, albeit a newly introduced discipline, is also within the 101-150 world group. This is very encouraging which has proven again our excellence in teaching and research in relevant disciplines with international standard. Being the youngest Faculty in the Institute, FHM sees the opportunity for growth and future development. Over the past years, we have been taking a big step to build upon our pre-existing strengths to focus on high quality programme offerings and research initiatives, thanks to a group of dedicated academic/teaching staff members and administrative colleagues. With all our concerted efforts, I am sure that we will continue to take on all the challenges ahead and to make our contribution to Hong Kong and beyond, with our long-established strengths in teacher education and humanities disciplines complementary to education. Professor Chan Kwok Kou, Leonard Dean, Faculty of Humanities 香港教育學院（教院）致力發展成為一所以教育 為本、建設多元學科的大學。為了配合教院的 發展策略，人文學院展開了一系列的工作，從 學院重組、語文研究榮譽文學士的課程覆審， 以至中文研究及英文研究學科範圍評審，直至 最近教院完成了大學正名的最後一步，人文學 院克服了重重的挑戰，取得了顯著的成績。大 學教育資助委員會（教資會）於2015年2月9至 10日到訪教院，就教院正名申請進行實地考 察。檢討小組現正撰寫報告，並將於2015年 9月完成及送呈教資會。屆時，教資會將向教育 局提交相關報告，再由教育局決定是否向行政 會議作出推薦及通過。最終結果有待確定，然 而，我深信同寅已經充分地向檢討小組展示了 學院的實力及素質，足以發展成為一所多元學 科的大學。 人文學院秉承一貫的使命，積極籌辦嶄新的學 士及碩士課程，如即將於2015/16年度開辦五年 制歷史教育榮譽學士。此課程是根據校方的倡 議而籌劃，期望為學生提供更多人文學科及社 會科學相關課程的選擇。候任課程主任Dr. Barry Crosbie將會在專訪中闡述課程的目標和特色。 我亦藉此機會衷心祝賀幾位在教學及研究方面 表現卓越的教學同工。首先，文學及文化學系 陳智德博士剛於2015年4月榮獲香港藝術發展 局頒發「2014香港藝術發展獎」的「年度藝術家 獎」（藝術評論）；同系的葉倬瑋博士的著作《情 意流轉─中國文學》亦獲中國國家新聞出版社廣 電總局選為2014年向全國青少年推薦百種優秀 圖書（思想作品、人文歷史類）之一。此外，中 國語言學系文英玲博士在2013/14年度獲得卓越 教學獎，而語言學及現代語言系祝艷萍博士及 語文教育中心朱穎琪女士亦分別獲得表揚狀。 在2015年4月公布的Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) 2015世界大學排名榜上，教院在教育領域中 的排名由去年的第51-100位，大幅躍升至全球 第15位，在亞洲更名列第三。同樣令人感到鼓 舞的是在語言學方面的排名，雖然我們在相關 領域發展時間相對較短，排名也能佔據全球首 101-150位，足以印證我們在教研方面的能力， 達至國際水平。 人文學院成立雖短，但這也正正是我們的機 遇。在同仁携手協力下，人文學院憑藉既有的 學術基礎，不斷優化課程，建立更多學科及提 升研究質量，在過去幾年取得了超卓的成績。 繼往開來，我們秉持教研相長的宗旨，迎向挑 戰，致力推動人文學科以及相關的教師培育， 共同為本港以至其他地區的教育與學術發展作 出貢獻。 人文學院院長 陳國球教授 把握機遇，共迎挑戰

Faculty Spotlights 5 FHM Newsletter ． 人文學院通訊 Q: Editorial Board A: Dr. Barry Crosbie (Programme Leader-Designate of Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History) Programme) Q: Why did the Institute decide to develop a Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History) programme? A: The new 5-year Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History) Programme - BEd(HIST) is part of a recent Institution-wide initiative to offer a greater variety of courses to students interested in subjects across the broad fields of the humanities and social sciences. As the Institute seeks to develop into a university renowned for quality teaching and research both within Hong Kong as well as internationally, it is vital to offer a wide variety of programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Q: What does the Faculty hope to achieve by implementing new programmes such as the BEd(HIST) ? A: The central purpose of the new programme is to provide students with a solid grounding in the broad discipline of history so that they may become competent and effective teachers in secondary schools in Hong Kong. To this end, the programme is particularly attuned to the requirements of the secondary school curriculum and a focus on developing an awareness and understanding of this curriculum among our students is at the centre of much of our teaching. Further, the programme is designed in such a way that students will be trained in all aspects of history, from ancient times to the contemporary era, and across a broad geographical sweep that includes the history of Hong Kong and China, to Europe, the United States, Africa and the Middle East. Q: What sort of skills can students of the new BEd(HIST) expect to attain following the completion of their degrees? A: In addition to developing a broad and deep disciplinary knowledge of history, students can expect to develop key skills in critical thinking and problem solving. In striving to attain high levels of competency in each of these skills, students will develop excellent written and oral communication techniques. In training our students to be knowledgeable, analytically-minded, competent communicators, we are providing them with the required skills necessary to forge successful professional careers. Q: What are the key programme features? A: The programme emphasises the modern period, from the 15th century till today, and covers a large geographical area, ranging from Europe, China (including Hong Kong), Japan and Southeast Asia. The programme is also theory-oriented; students are expected to be familiar with influential ideas of history in the West and to study various competing theories that shape visions, frameworks and the approaches of historians. Last but not least, the strength of the programme lies in its comparative approach, as students studying the history of a particular region will be guided to look at the history of other parts of the world. Q: What are the opportunities for further education? A: Graduates may pursue postgraduate studies in Hong Kong and/or overseas, including Master of Education (History), Master of Philosophy in History, Master of Social Sciences (Contemporary China Studies), Master of Social Science in General Education, and Master in Comparative and Public History.

人文學院通訊 ． FHM Newsletter 6 Trend for Future Language Learning: Mobile Learning in Community of Practice (CoP) Principal Investigators: Dr. Ma Qing (LML) and Dr. Wang Lixun (LML) The CoP Project “Fostering Mobile Learning Community” led by Dr. Ma Qing and Dr. Wang Lixun from the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies, funded by the University Grants Committee, has brought HKIEd the potential to take the leading role in promoting mobile learning in Hong Kong and beyond. The project aims to promote the use of mobile technologies in learning and teaching and to bind together individuals or small groups to form a community of mobile learning with the emphasis on language learning. Teachers and students across different higher education institutions in Hong Kong and overseas countries have joined the Mobile Learning Community (MLC), amounting to a total of 250 members. A dedicated open website (http://corpus.ied.edu.hk/mlc) has been established by the MLC to disseminate mobile learning/teaching resources for not just members but a wider, global audience. The statistics show that our website has been visited by audiences from four continents (Asia, Europe, North America and Africa) and attracted 1,000 visitors per month since its opening in August 2014. Teachers and students from different higher education institutions have contributed continuously fresh, first-hand and personalised information that are integrated into the content of the website. The website provides language learners of different ages (adolescents, university students, and adult learners) and various levels (from beginners to advanced) with rich learning resources, including websites, mobile apps, personalised learning stories, and videos showcasing how students make use of diverse apps that facilitate their language learning. In addition, the resources address different aspects of language learning such as speaking, writing, listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary. The website is designed to be user-friendly, allowing users to browse and navigate easily the resources. More than a hundred app reviews were collected and peer-reviewed by university students with a focus on language and subject learning apps, which can be read and downloaded freely from the section “App Reviews”. The language learning apps reviewed include a variety of languages such as English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Spanish. Apart from presenting a basic introduction to the app, a critical review is provided with clear information on both the strengths and weaknesses of the app. Information, such as language skills addressed, intended learner levels (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and suitable type of learners (kindergarten, primary, secondary or university), is also included. Student Mini Conference organised successfully on 16 January 2015 with more than 40 student participants from different majors attending.
Faculty Spotlights 7 FHM Newsletter ． 人文學院通訊 Posters featuring HKIEd students’ mobile learning stories are hosted on the Community’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook. com/hkiedmoblearn). Their classmates and friends are invited to comment and like the posters. The Mobile Learning Community members from left to right (Dr. Ma Qing, Prof. Lim Cher Ping, Dr. Chow Wai Kwan, Dr. Wang Lixun and Dr. Wong Ka Wai). Critical language learning app reviews contributed by students can be read online and downloaded freely. Numerous seminars and workshops, open to the public, have been held regularly, targeting teaching staff and students in order to continuously foster mobile learning across the community and equip our members with updated mobile learning information and innovative practices. Participants from within and outside the Institution have actively participated in the seminars and sharing. Training workshops provide colleagues with hands-on experience in using new learning management system platforms, i.e. Schoology and Edmodo and various educational apps. In addition, two annual mini student conferences on mobile learning were held in 2014 and 2015, attracting an impressive audience composed of both students and colleagues from different departments. Student presenters’ diverse and personalised mobile learning experience has inspired most of the student participants as shown in the overwhelmingly positive comments collected at the end of the conference. Our project team and our community members firmly believe that this CoP project provides an ideal platform for sharing information and transferring knowledge on mobile learning and, particularly, mobile language learning at the Institute and beyond. We will make sustained efforts to consolidate our community and maintain its vitality and prosperity in order to serve a wider community.

人文學院通訊 ． FHM Newsletter 12 語言學及現代語言系 Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies Invited Seminar by Prof. Chen Hao-Jan, Howard Message from the Head The Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies (LML) was established in 2012 upon the restructuring of the Faculty of Languages, now re-titled the Faculty of Humanities. LML aspires to seek knowledge for advancing our understanding of the triangulated relation among language, mind and society. Because of the progress in information technology, human communications have been changing drastically. Now we often found ourselves communicating via multimedia devices that allow multilingual switching. Records of communication can be stored and transmitted instantly with very little limitations. The impacts of these changes to human language system, its learning and its use have not yet been duly gauged. LML, the youngest linguistics department in Hong Kong, will make its best effort in this exciting and challenging scientific inquiry. With the above undertakings, we also anticipate synergies between general linguistics and applied linguistics in the curriculum development of language education and language studies, which will further contribute to the growth of the Faculty of Humanities. Professor Cheung Hin Tat（張顯達教授 Head, Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies This semester, Dr. Lai Yee King, Regine（黎爾敬博士）and Dr. Grégoire Winterstein joined the department as new lecturers. Regine is an expert in phonetics and phonology. She studies the acquisition of artificial languages to shed light on the cognitive abilities of the human brain. Grégoire is specialised in formal semantics and pragmatics. He uses probabilistic modelling paired with experimental and computational methods to study natural language interpretation and the way we use language for argumentation. Both will contribute to new areas of research in the department and use their skills to further enhance the teaching provided by LML. This year, two of our colleagues successfully applied for Knowledge Transfer projects. Dr. Chin Chi-on, Andy will be conducting a project named “A Digital Language Museum on Cantonese” and Dr. Jackie Lee will be working on “Grammar Teaching Resources for School Teachers”. Both these projects are emblematic of the will of the department to make the product of our academic work accessible to other professionals as well as to the greater public. This summer will mark the opening of the first course of Korean, which is the third language being taught at the Institute after Japanese and French. The demand for modern languages teaching is high among students, and we keep on working on improving and promoting the classes offered at the Institute. A notable event in this regard was the Language Fun Fair, co-organised in March by LML and the Arthur Samy Language Learning Centre. There, students and staff were introduced to cultural aspects of Japan, Korea and France and had the chance to try their hand at introductory language classes.
13 FHM Newsletter ． 人文學院通訊 Department & Centre Highlights Besides those teaching activities, the department also offers a thriving and supportive research environment and stimulating atmosphere to exchange scholarly ideas, with conferences and seminars being organised on a regular basis. This past year was quite productive with ten seminars and sharing sessions organised since August 2014. Four were given by our colleagues (Dr. Rebecca Chen, Professor Cheung Hin Tat, Professor David Li, Dr. Wang Lixun, Dr. Xie Qin, Dr. Regine Lai and Dr. Grégoire Winterstein) and six were given by academics from other institutions: Dr. Hsu Ching-Fen from the Huafan University of Taiwan, Professor Chen Hao-Jan, Howard from the National Taiwan Normal University, Professor Stephen Matthews of the University of Hong Kong and Dr. Yurie Hara from the City University of Hong Kong. The topics covered ranged over a wide array of subjects: psycholinguistics, language education, the use of modern technologies for language learning as well as formal pragmatics and translation studies.

Dr. Winterstein was awarded his PhD in formal linguistics from Université Paris Diderot - Paris 7 for his dissertation on the probabilistic dimension of argumentative markers in discourse. His research interests mainly lie in formal semantics and pragmatics. His chief topic of study deals with the notion of argumentation and the way some linguistic items and structures affect how arguments are interpreted and evaluated. He is especially interested in Bayesian models of human cognition and the way they can be applied to natural language interpretation. Regine received her BA and MPhil in Linguistics from the University of Hong Kong. She completed her PhD study in the University of Delaware and went on to the University of Maryland for her post-doctoral training. Her research mainly addresses how humans learn their first language by examining through the artificial language learning paradigm to investigate whether there are specific, unconscious learning strategies employed by humans for sound patterns in language that are distinct from other general cognitive learning mechanisms.

人文學院通訊 ． FHM Newsletter 14 文學及文化學系 Department of Literature and Cultural Studies Message from the Head LCS is a diverse and vibrant academic unit actively contributing to the teaching and research of the institute, and we now have 30 academic and teaching staff in the Department. The primary missions of the Department are to advance knowledge in the areas of 1) traditional Chinese literature and culture; 2) modern and contemporary Sinophone literature and culture; 3) Anglophone literature and cultural studies; and 4) modern Chinese and world history and to develop related course offerings at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Some of the fields that have already been fruitfully developed include traditional Chinese literary criticism, classical Chinese literature, Chinese cultural and intellectual history, children’s literature, Hong Kong literature, new English literatures, and film studies. To complement these expanding areas, as well as to emphasise the intercultural and interdisciplinary nature of our approach to teaching and research, this year we have recruited academic staff specialising in cultural studies and history. In the year 2015/16, the Department will launch Hong Kong’s first ever Bachelor of Education programme in History. Alongside the development of new programmes, the Department is also dedicated to promoting creative writing and the use of literature in language teaching. With the collaboration of its seasoned academic and research staff and the contribution of new recruits, the Department is actively exploring promising new fields of studies and novel pedagogical practices.

人文學院通訊 ． FHM Newsletter 16 Centre for Language in Education 語文教育中心 Message from the Head The Centre for Language in Education (CLE) is a unit of the Faculty of Humanities (FHM). After the launch of the new language policy in 2012/13, language exit requirements for English and Putonghua were set for all full-time undergraduate students, which become one of the core missions CLE has to focus on, with a view to supporting the implementation of the language policy. With this in mind, the three language enhancement programme teams have been perfecting and refining the curriculum as well as materials, in order to enhance the quality of learning and teaching of language enhancement programmes for students. In addition, given our emphasis on assessment for learning, CLE has been conducting language tests for our students including English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) and Tertiary Putonghua Test (TPT) since 2012/13, as well as developing the University Chinese Test (UCT) since 2014/15. Apart from the said ongoing refinement of curriculum and assessment, CLE is also providing students with sufficient opportunities to enhance their language proficiency through co-curricular activities. In 2014/15, our new members, seven International Tutors (ITs) and two English Teaching Assistants (ETAs), further strengthen our English enhancement programme (EEP) team and our provision of extra-curricular language enhancement activities. The English conversation corner (a component of independent learning activities of EEP) and language and cultural workshops offered by them are popular and well-received by students. It is hoped that, with comprehensive support from the Institute under the new language policy, students could become functionally biliterate and trilingual upon graduation. Dr. Leung Pui Wan, Pamela（梁佩雲博士 Head, Centre for Language in Education International Tutors & English Teaching Assistants 2014 /15 The seven International Tutors and two English Teaching Assistants from all around the world, including Canada, Mexico, Serbia, Philippines, and the USA, are here to improve our students’ English skills. They are Hannah Drake, Daydria Alexis, Erin Leung, Gordon Aimee Hoffman, Arturo Urióstegui, Olivera Kapriš (Lola), Kevin Dahaghi, Suchika Kumar, and Victoria Tsang. Our International Tutors are offering face-to-face conversation sessions, mini debates, and small-group language activities to enrich students’ language learning experience on campus. Students may sign up for any of these speaking activities in conjunction with the Independent Learning Activities component of the English Enhancement Programmes. They are stationed at an open booth located at the busiest area of the Institute hoping to reach as many students as they can. We also have two English Teaching Assistants from the USA who are offering fun and educational cultural activities and workshops: Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, to name a few! These are precious opportunities for students to get acquainted with American culture and brush up on their speaking skills in an authentic allAmerican setting.

Having studied and travelled across half of the world, I’m glad that I’m finally settling down in a career that I have great passion about – teaching teachers, and in a dynamic higher education community - HKIEd! My research areas of interest are e-learning in TESOL, 21st Century skills and curriculum design, and educational leadership. When it comes to my hobbies, let me put it this way: if you are a lover of concerts, sports games, hiking or even cooking, don’t forget “you have a friend”! Dr. Tse Ching Yee, Amelia Before joining HKIEd, I worked as a training programme developer in student motivation. Both my research and teaching interests lie in teaching English as a second language with special reference to motivation. For more information about CLE, please visit http://www.ied.edu.hk/cle.
