Hong Kong & Australia: Compare & contrast
achieving students' individuality - profiles
- facilitate teachers to know their students better
- help students to know their peers well
- drive students to know themselves more
- raise students' sense of belonging to the class
- make students feel themselves valued and appreciated
INTEGRATING into English language learning
- a flexible profile
- amend the format and content required in the profile based on students' level and ability
- for example: ask the year 4 students to introduce themselves by using complex or compound sentences
- "I love playing video games" --> "I love playing video games because I enjoy them"
- put what they have learnt into practice
