C-for-Chinese@JC Introduction
Enhancing ethnic minority children’s Chinese Proficiency for a better start
“C-for-Chinese@JC” is a Trust-Initiated Project created and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and co-created by three local universities and two non-governmental organisations. The Project has adopted a “home-school-community” collaborative and evidence-based model, which fosters a culturally responsive and pleasurable learning environment and facilitates effective teaching. Through enhancing the Chinese proficiency of ethnic minority kindergarten students, the Project aims to give them a better start in terms of better transition to primary education and a greater sense of belonging.
