This volume gives an up-to-date account of the language situation and social context in multilingual Hong Kong. After an in-depth, interpretive analysis of various language contact phenomena, it shows why it is such a tall order for Hongkongers to live up to the Special Administrative Region government’s language policy goalpost, ‘biliteracy and trilingualism’. A detailed contrastive analysis between Cantonese and (a) English, (b) Modern Written Chinese, and (c) Putonghua helps explain the nature of the linguistic and acquisitional challenges involved. Economic forces and sociopolitical realities helped shape the ‘mother tongue education’ or ‘dual MoI streaming’ policy since September 1998. The book provides a critical review of the significant milestones and key policy documents from the early 1990s, and outlines the concerns of stakeholders at the receiving end. Another MoI debate concerns the feasibility and desirability of teaching Chinese in Putonghua (TCP). Based on a critical review of the TCP literature and recent psycholinguistic and neuroscience research, the language-in-education policy implications are discussed, followed by a few recommendations. Hongkongers of South Asian descent saw their life chances curtailed as a result of the post-1997 changes in the language requirements for gaining access to civil service positions and higher education. Based on a study of 15 South Asian undergraduate students’ prior language learning experiences, recommendations are made to help redress that social inequity problem.

Studying Hong Kong 20 Years Of Political Economic And Social Developments written by Kong Tuan Yuen and has been published by World Scientific this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-04-27 with Social Science categories.

This book captures the essence of Hong Kong's development in the past two decades from 1997 to 2017. It is broken into four parts -- economics, society, politics and culture. Hong Kong's role remains as a gateway for global trading houses, businessmen, investors and traders. Hong Kong continues to be an open economy and has stuck to free trade policies, as one of the former four successful "tiger economies" in East Asia. In the political and international relations realm, this book examines Hong Kong's relations with China, other major powers and the world at large. It also covers domestic developments, including legal developments. Other chapters in the book examine cultural developments in Hong Kong from specific case studies of iconic animation character to trans-boundary popularity of Hong Kong popular culture in China. With contributions from Alvin CAMBA, Henry CHAN, Yoshihisa GODO, Wing Lok HUNG, Sean KING, Tuan Yuen KONG, Tai Wei LIM, Carol MA, Samantha MA, Parama SINHA PALIT, Zhengqi PAN, SIM Japanese Culture and Gaming Society, Hiroshi TAKAHASHI, Ghim Yeow TAN, Katherine TSENG, Elim WONG, Kai Keat YEO and Chun Wang YEUNG, this book provides a snapshot of Hong Kong in the past twenty years and is a fascinating read. Contents: Readership: This book is intended for students as well as professionals and the general public interested in understanding Hong Kong culture, history and politics. Keywords: Hong Kong;China;East Asia;;1997;Economic;PoliticsReview: "Hong Kong is often referred to as a crossroad of the East and West. However, Hong Kong is not merely an intersection of China and the Western world, but has unique history and culture. When I started learning Cantonese in Tokyo, many other students who were similarly motivated were from an older generation than me, and interested in Hong Kong films. This is proof that Hong Kong shown on the screen attracted the Japanese audience as a unique city. Hong Kong has been depicted as a city that is 'exotic' and 'chaotic' in popular media in Japan and the West. Of course, it is certain that orientalism of Japan and the West is present. However, what promotes such imagination and description seems to be the 'freedom' that Hong Kong possesses. I am particularly interested in how this free and somehow chaotic atmosphere of Hong Kong, 20 years after the handover of sovereignty, will generate new culture and evoke our new imagination. I recommend this publication to readers who want to better understand Hong Kong in all its facets and from different perspectives." Masakazu MATSUOKA Hitotsubashi University Key Features: The book is timely as it deals with a topic that is in the news in 2017. The future of Hong Kong has been debated and scrutinized intensely since the 2014 Occupy Central and 2012 National Education protests. Since then, Hong Kong has been forging a new relationship with a new administration in Beijing It has regional and international implications. Hong Kong's "One Country Two Systems" served as a model for possible reunification with Taiwan. Regionally, observers are using Hong Kong as a barometer for the future of Chinese governance. Internationally, Hong Kong's international financial center makes it an important node in the globalized world Very often, Hong Kong's popular culture is left out of academic analyses on the city state. There are macro and micro case studies examined by different scholars in this publication and they explain the popularity of Hong Kong popular cultural characters like the animation McDull and also classic cop films that resonate with an East Asian and even international audience The diversity of scholars in this volume makes
