  • Creative writing pedagogy for world Englishes students

    Open AccessShirley Geok‐lin LimARTICLEWorld Englishes2015

    Noting the contradiction between the goals in English language teaching and creative writing pedagogy in teaching ESL/EFL/world Englishes students, the paper argues for a greater emphasis on parole instead of langue to generate increased innovative writing. It begins with a critique of a major creative writing dogma, ‘Show, don't tell,' and discusses a range of models, prompts and strategies in which ‘show and tell' assignments that also encourag…

But every birth is hard, and by the third You know enough to know It's happening to you. You the subject And the object, you the loud busy crow, And you the poem hesitating, Waiting to be formed

    Open AccessShirley Geok‐lin LimARTICLEWorld Englishes2010

    Reflecting on the influence of English nursery rhyme poems on one individual Asian child's language development, the paper reviews current studies on the socio‐cultural dynamics of creativity, to examine how these theoretical and empirical investigations may help shape specific pedagogical practices in the expressive language arts in a Hong Kong context where English is not the first language, with particular reference to some Hong Kong young stu…

  • Sibling Hybridities

    Shirley Geok‐lin Lim, Shirley Geok-Lin LimARTICLELife Writing2007Referências: 3

    Edith Eaton/Sui Sin Far and Winnifred Eaton/Onoto Watanna, sisters writing from within a shared familial and historical context, chose different ethnic authorial pseudonyms for their fictions and constructed their life stories with different emphases on their identity formations. While Edith's memoir-essay was a pioneering text on Chinese diasporic longings, inflected with complex negotiations of the mixed-race and gender ideologies of the late n…

    Mine Okubo would have grimly enjoyed this irony: I am composing a memorial to her at the same historical moment as the United States is mourning the deaths of around 3,000 Americans and other nationals in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon. For, as numerous commentators have repeated, September 11, 2001 shares parallels with December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy, when the Japanese Airforce attacked …

    Following a period of consultation, Southern Focus Trust implemented a skills‐related pay system (SRP) in April 2001. The system moved away from a traditional incremental scheme in favour of a system which links learning and competency to pay. Job descriptions were replaced by role profiles described in terms of ‘key results areas’ and, in turn, defined by a list of competencies linked to national vocational standards (NVQ). Newly recruited staff…

  • Futures for Hong Kong English

    Open AccessK Bolton, Shirley Geok‐lin Lim et al.ARTICLEWorld Englishes2000Citada por: 3Referências: 2

    In this paper the authors discuss the themes of autonomy and creativity as they have been expressed in this special issue. At a linguistic level, the emergence of Hong Kong English has been clouded by a cluster of language ideologies within a localised complaint tradition. This has included discourses relatinzg to ‘monolingualism’, the ‘invisibility’ of Hong Kong English, and ‘falling standards’. Parallel discourses have also constrained creative…
