The Bachelor of Education (English Language) Reading Challenge organised by the Department of English Language Education (ELE) and supported by EdUHK Library was launched for the first time in October 2017. The intended aim of the reading challenge is to expose participants to a wider array of English texts and cultivate a life-long habit of reading for pleasure. While it is unlikely to fill every gap in each participant’s understanding, it is hoped that the future English language educators will be able to draw from a broad range of text types to inform their teaching.
This reading challenge is a friendly and slightly competitive way to see which year group can read the most English texts in an academic year. The first running of the Bachelor of Education (English Language) Reading Challenge will carry on into the middle of March 2018 and the winning cohort will be announced in April 2018. Individual prizes based on the most books read in a particular genre will be presented by the EdUHK Library. Course tutors are encouraged to prompt their students from the Bachelor of Education (Honours) (English Language) as well as the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies and Bachelor of Education (Honours) (English Language) (Co-terminal Double Degree) to submit their course reading material.
