HKU CAES Annual Report 2022-2023

Research and Publications The Centre encourages research and publishing to foster scholarly exchange and professional development among its staff and to contribute to the international dialogue on key issues in applied linguistics, academic literacy and language education. Importantly, research informs curricular development. The Centre publishes the Asian Journal of Applied Linguistics . Teachers at the Centre also serve as editors or reviewers for international journals and publishers. Recent output includes articles in publications such as Second Language Acquisition Theory, Challenges Encountered by Chinese ESL Learners and TESOL Quarterly . Our teachers have also contributed to the organisation of conferences and given plenary and keynote addresses. Such activities are supported by funding from a range of sources such as the Research Grants Council, Teaching Development Grants, and the Louis Cha Fund.
