A longitudinal study of Chinese as a second language kindergarteners’ orthographic awareness and its association with their lexical learning performance
Developing 21st century skills for the first language classroom
Given the increasing awareness of oral communication in this era of globalized collaborative learning trends, there is an imminent need to inform language educators of ways in which the under-researched oral interactional strategies are related to first language (L1) teaching.

How do Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners acquire orthographic knowledge
Learning Chinese characters could be challenging for many CSL learners due to the distinction in orthographic features between the Chinese written system and their first languages.

The Influence of the Language that Hong Kong Primary School Students Habitually Speak at Home on their Chinese Reading Ability in School
