Unique focus: This programme is among the first in Hong Kong dedicated to integrating AI into TESOL. Unlike existing AI programmes that emphasise computer science and data analytics, it combines technical AI literacy with pedagogical strategies grounded in research-based practices.
Comprehensive framework: The curriculum adopts Bloom’s information processing hierarchy to structure the development of cognitive skills, from foundational understanding to higher-order thinking and creativity.
Humanitarian perspective: Beyond technical and pedagogical training, the programme emphasises stakeholder wellbeing. It aims to enhance the experiences of learners, teachers, parents, and administrators, using AI to promote equitable and meaningful educational outcomes.
