Inter-specific variation of isoprene emissions in a Southeast Asian tropical rainforest: Links to light environments and atmospheric implications
Tropical forests are primary global sources of isoprene, a reactive volatile organic compound (VOC) influencing atmospheric chemistry and climate. Southeast Asian tropical forests, characterized by the dominance of dipterocarp species, play a significant role in regional emissions. However, a mechanistic understanding of how these unique forest ecosystems regulate emissions remains limited due to a scarcity of species-specific isoprene emission d…
James M. Hamilton Jr. Psalms
Hamilton’s two-volume set on the Psalms is part of the Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series created by Lexham Press in 2020. Lexham began by reprinting the existing volumes of B&H’s Biblical Theology for Christian Proclamation series and then adding newer titles, some of which were already in the pipeline. Hamilton’s commentary was in process for B&H when Lexham took over, and, consequently, it strongly reflects the homiletical …
Gas Phase Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds Arising from the Application of Sunscreens
The speciation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from personal care products (PCPs) is complex and contributes to poor air quality and health risks to users via the inhalation exposure pathway. Detailed VOC emission profiles were generated for 26 sunscreen products; consequently, variability was observed between products, even though they were all designed for the same purpose. Some were found to contain fragrance compounds not labelle…
Do test design and uses influence test preparation? Testing a model of washback with Structural Equation Modeling
This study introduces Expectancy-value motivation theory to explain the paths of influences from perceptions of test design and uses to test preparation as a special case of washback on learning. Based on this theory, two conceptual models were proposed and tested via Structural Equation Modeling. Data collection involved over 870 test takers of College English Test Band 4 in China. A perception of assessment questionnaire was given at the beginn…
Impact and consequences of school-based assessment (SBA): Students’ and parents’ views of SBA in Hong Kong
School-based assessment (SBA) has recently been introduced into the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examinations (HKCEE) in English. The present study was conducted within the context of this assessment change to investigate students’ and parents’ perceptions of the impact of SBA. Two surveys were employed to explore students’ and parents’ perceptions of SBA and their perceptions of the impact of SBA on learning. The results from the student s…
Language and Literature Division, Faculty of Education, Hong Kong University
The Language and Literature Division (LLD) is the largest of the six divisions of the Faculty of Education, University of Hong Kong (HKU). It is currently home to 34 academic staff, who specialize either in the fields of Chinese Language, English Language and/or Literature Education, and to 60 full-time and 28 part-time doctoral students, who are researching a wide range of topics including subjects as diverse as corpus-aided language learning, t…
The Evolution of Teachers’ Language Awareness
The paper focuses on the development of teacher thinking, specifically L2 teachers' subject-matter cognitions, i.e. their Teacher Language Awareness (TLA) (see e.g. Andrews 2001, 2003). The study examines the evolving TLA, as it relates to grammar, of three teachers, each a graduate with more than 10 years' experience of teaching English in Hong Kong secondary schools. All three teachers took part in a previous TLA study conducted in 1996-97 (see…
Based on a True Story
Teacher Language Awareness and the Professional Knowledge Base of the L2 Teacher
This paper provides an introduction to teacher language awareness (TLA) and a personal reconceptualisation of the relationship between TLA and other dimensions of teacher knowledge, revisiting issues discussed in Andrews (2001). In the first part of the paper, knowledge of subject matter is identified as the core of TLA. Given the increased recognition in education that subject-matter knowledge is a key element of teacher professionalism, it is a…

The Language Awareness of the L2 Teacher: Its Impact Upon Pedagogical Practice
The paper sets out to examine the ways in which a teacher's language awareness affects their pedagogical practice. It begins by considering the relationship between teacher language awareness and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), arguing that there is something unique about the PCK of the L2 teacher, because the content and medium of L2 instruction are so closely interrelated. A model is proposed, in which the L2 teacher's language awareness (…
Balancing Evils Judiciously: The Proslavery Writings of Zephaniah Kingsley
Delivering effective online learning is an issue that librarians are having to consider, particularly if they are working in an organization that delivers an education programme. This title is designed to guide the librarian through all the stages needed to create successful online learning in the library, covering planning and management; design and development; and evaluation and assessment. The text is regularly interspersed with overviews and…
'All These Like Little Name Things': A Comparative Study of Language Teachers' Explicit Knowledge of Grammar and Grammatical Terminology
An in-depth investigation is currently being conducted into the metalinguistic awareness of a group of practising L2 teachers, all non-native speakers teaching English in Hong Kong secondary schools. The investigation focuses on teacher metalinguistic awareness (TMA) as it relates to grammar. As part of this in-depth study, a test was administered in order to explore the declarative dimension of TMA: the teacher's explicit knowledge of grammar an…
Dorothea Dix: New England Reformer
Metalinguistic awareness and teacher explanation
In Hong Kong in the past five years, there has been a marked increase of interest in the language awareness of teachers (their ‘metalinguistic awareness'). This interest has been stimulated partly by a concern about declining standards of student achievement in both Chinese and English. Dissatisfaction with learners’ standards of English is linked to officially expressed concern about the quality of teachers of English, many of whom are neither s…
