Equipping students with skills and knowledge to keep abreast of social development and to confront ethical problems
Developing a school culture which gives confidence to students and a sense of belonging to teachers and so promoting academic success
Understanding the fundamental principles underlying a positive and innovative learning environment
Creating space for teachers so that they have time to achieve further development, which will help improve their own teaching and, in turn, benefit their students’ learning
Analyzing needs of all the parties involved, including students, teachers and employers
Thinking and encouraging thinking
Inspiring students with enthusiasm for learning and giving them confidence to explore the world
Organizing resources so as to promote empowerment and to encourage initiatives and creativity
Nurturing the seeds of goodwill in students’ hearts

Working Paper
Handbook on English Language Curriculum Design
LI, Po Lung
Short Descriptions
This project aims to share my experience and expertise in English language curriculum design with educational practitioners, in particular, the teachers at CLE, who are engaged in ELT materials writing, course design and review, and curriculum development and evaluation.
Possible Benefits
The project benefits not only CLE teachers and their counterparts who are engaged in course and/or curriculum design, but also educational practitioners who are involved in daily teaching by providing them with a comprehensive overview of all the corresponding theories, approaches, methodology and common practice, and insights which generate new ideas.
Deliverables
The tentative planning is that the book comprises 7 to 8 chapters. It is expected to compile the draft of two chapters each year.
