Ongoing Project

Hong Kong Corpus of Learner English

As a side project, Hong Kong Corpus of Learner English (HKCLE) will be a monolingual corpus of written and spoken English language production by English as a second language (ESL) learners in Hong Kong. The corpus could provide invaluable resources for data-driven learning (DDL) and training data for future automated writing evaluation (AWE) models.

Currently, the project is at the data collection stage. 

Past Projects

2024 DSE English Language Free Mock Examination

2024 DSE English Language Free Mock Examination was a project that aimed to provide an opportunity for HKDSE 2024 candidates to “rehearse” for the high-stakes public examination. The free-of-charge mock examination targeted at underprivileged students in Hong Kong, including but not limited to the beneficiaries of School Textbook Assistance (STA) and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA). A total of 36 candidates benefitted from the project, which served to fulfil the English volunteer teaching commitment of Scholarship for Pro Bono English Volunteer Teaching, awarded by New Asia College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
