Prof. Zhu Xinhua and Team Develop Multimodal Reading Programme for Primary Students

Prof. Zhu Xinhua, Professor in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, leads a team to develop a multimodal reading teaching programme and an assessment task set for primary students based on his GRF project. Over 600 primary students in Hong Kong participated in the first round of these innovative activities. In the upcoming year, more than 500 primary students are expected to participate in the second round. In his interview with China Daily, Prof. Zhu noted that multimodal reading can foster personalised learning by providing multiple forms of information presentation to cater the diverse needs of students. He also highlighted significant potential for primary students to develop multimodal reading skills.
