The majority of the teachers in the collaborating school have positive comments about the HKU-QEF Project. They found the CLIL curriculum resources not only beneficial for the South Asian students’ learning of both the language and content subjects but also helpful for their own English academic literacy development. The teacher evaluations about the teacher capacity building workshop (see Evaluation Form) show that the majority of the workshop participants were satisfied with the activity in terms of its objectives, content, organisation as well as its effects on their teaching and learning practices in the school. Through attending the teacher capacity building workshops, teachers have better understanding about the project curriculum. Some teacher commented that the school “should have more workshops of these”; some suggested that "more of these programs are necessary as it is very useful"; and some suggested that the workshops "can include more about ways of using language and enhancing students' language awareness in classroom teaching". More teachers (e.g. a Science teacher and an English teacher) expressed their willingness to join the project after they finished preparing for the coming HKDSE exam. For the teachers who had been members of the project, the Physics teacher found he had got a good grasp of the CLIL curriculum pedagogy and become more confident in lesson planning (e.g. He shared his CLIL teaching strategies in the Open Experience Sharing Workshop.); the Biology teacher had tried to integrate the CLIL curriculum resources into her teaching design and she emphasised that the pedagogy and the teaching materials are useful for both the language and content learning of the South Asian students. The English teacher started to cooperate with her colleagues and provided LAC support for the Science subjects involved in this project.
