Stepping into writing mystery: What are the Chinese writing difficulties of the South Asian ethnic minority students in Hong Kong?
Highlights
In Hong Kong, Chinese language has been a compulsory subject for all students since 2009
South Asian ethnic minority students as a disadvantaged group of second language learners, lack efficient pedagogical support in Chinese language learning in Hong Kong
The current study is aimed to understand the Chinese writing difficulties of the South Asian ethnic minority students in Hong Kong in order to prepare them for targeted pedagogic interventions for better Chinese language acquisition, especially in Chinese language writing
Summary
In Hong Kong, Chinese language has been a compulsory subject for all students since 2009. It is of great importance to teach the knowledge of Chinese written language explicitly. It is even more fundamental to identify the specific aspects of knowledge with regard to Chinese written language that local South Asian students are lacking in prior to in-class teaching. Once the symptoms have been determined, the pedagogic intervention is more straight to the point in catering for the learning needs of the South Asian students in Chinese language education. The current study is aimed to understand the Chinese writing difficulties of the South Asian ethnic minority students in Hong Kong in order to prepare them for targeted pedagogic interventions for better Chinese language acquisition, especially in Chinese language writing
