Description

With a view to identifying the academic significance and value of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as a core subject in the English across curriculum in a vast majority of universities and tertiary educational institutions in Hong Kong and other non-English speaking countries and cities, this research aims at studying university learners’ strategies in transcending master degree programmes in fields that they are not familiar from bachelor degrees. Through questionnaires, interviews and observations on respondents with local and overseas educational backgrounds who situated in Hong Kong for living and work, the study first compares undergraduates and postgraduates’ acknowledgment of Academic English as a measurement of their English competency at universities, as evidenced by their recount of university classrooms in bachelor and master degrees in Hong Kong and/or outside Hong Kong, in addition to reading, listening, writing and speaking experience in English in workplace and social life in Hong Kong.
