dc.description.abstract | Meeting requirements for English Proficiency is a challenge for Hong Kong’s teachers of English. An Australian in-service
education and training program (INSET) for Chinese L1 teachers is in place to meet this challenge. The question is whether
delivery of INSET in Australia leads to participant perceptions of the experience as gainful in terms of pedagogy and cultural
knowledge as well as in fulfilling linguistic goals. The researcher indicates a positive response from the case study reported here.
The case was designed to test an ongoing evaluation by Hong Kong teachers and the researcher-participant of the program and
its consequences. One of the teachers provided the data reported in this paper as part of the larger case. Existing knowledge
was reviewed in a literature search spanning internationalisation imperatives for Hong Kong and Australia, the history and
implementation of INSET, and the significance of an individual’s personal history. Multiple forms of reflective data were gathered
throughout the immersion experience to gather insights into the target participant’s perceptions of learning. These data indicated
the learner’s perception of strong positive growth in English proficiency, which might have been expected given the purpose of
INSET. However, they also revealed that she learned much about pedagogy and culture, providing insights into intercultural
negotiation and learning. The result is important because of its insight into a means by which INSET providers might structure
ongoing feedback and assessment of their intentions. Its adaptation to other students, other INSET implementations and
locations is worthy of further research and discussion. | |
