About Us
In 2002, the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong became the NWP's first site in Asia. In 2007, in recognition of its achievements and quality work in Hong Kong, the WrITE Project was designated as the first NWP international associated site.
Strategic Framework
With its mission of expanding and extending the capacity and capability of teachers of English in Hong Kong, the WrITE Project has developed three sets of programmes for teacher professional development: Collaboration programmes, Continuing-learning programmes and Community programmes.
WrITE Institute (click me)
The WrITE Institute is the heart of the WrITE Project. Participants of the SI will engage in teaching and learning explorations as well as writing in different formats and genres. They will be required to critically evaluate their peers’ written work as well as to collaborate on tasks such as making daily logs and putting together position papers and an anthology. Each activity and task undertaken by participants as an individual or as a group during the SI aims to enhance their metacognitive skills about how writing is learned and developed as well as how the process of writing becomes internalised. Through coaching and facilitation provided by experienced researchers and teacher consultants, participants will be empowered to conceptualise what they have learned and observed in the SI. From this standpoint, they will then be in a position to make effective and meaningful instructional shifts to enhance the writing of their own students.
Sharing and Collaborative Learning Programme
The Sharing and Collaborative Learning Programme (SCLP) aims to create opportunities for sharing and collaborative learning among the WrITE Project's Summer Fellows (SFs) as well as other teaching professionals on an ongoing basis. The SCLP enables our SFs to cultivate a sense of shared community space where they can exchange teaching ideas / resources, cooperate on writing projects, and even share personal feelings.
Wikis
This project describes authentic writing through the use of wikis by Year 7 ESL learners in a secondary school in Hong Kong. In the project, wikis were used as a collaborative writing platform to produce – with minimal input and support from their teachers – wiki content that describes the different facilities and features of their school.
