The Faculty of Humanities and Department of Chinese Language Studies have launched the “Pilot Online Workshop on Teaching Writing Skills”, with an aim of supporting onsite block practice for The Education University of Hong Kong’s prospective Chinese teachers and assisting online teaching for secondary and primary school teachers, and thus ultimately facilitating the goal of “Suspending Classes without Suspending Learning”. The workshop has deployed online platform and video recording extensively for teaching writing skills in Chinese at different learning stages, including the exploration of teaching designs, the integration of online teaching skills, and the provision of online learning resources. These topics are demonstrated through the notion of “respect for teacher” and students are guided to reflect on the meaning of life education.
To consolidate the learning outcomes and to bring them into practice, prospective teachers will instruct their students in writing assignments, and will further convert these into entries to participate in “The 1st Greater Bay Area ‘Respecting Teachers’ Life Education Writing Competition”.
