Programme Description The course comprises three core modules as follows: 1. The Characteristics of Diversity This module introduces participants to the scope and nature of the diverse intake that is likely to be encountered in Hong Kong mainstream schools. 2. Assessing Diversity in English Language Learning This module introduces participants to the issue of how to identify, assess and profile the diverse populations that are now likely to be encountered in the English language classroom in Hong Kong schools. 3. Accommodating Diversity in English Language Teaching This module strengthens participants' awareness of how typically developing children learn languages.
