What We Focus On?
Welcome to the Transdisciplinary Resources Hub!
This TDG project aims to develop targeted English language support for students in HKBU’s new transdisciplinary (TD) programs. To achieve this, the project will deliver three key components: a language corpus, a hub for publicity, and a co-workspace for collaboration among students, language teachers, and subject teachers (faculty). The core of the project is the construction of a word pattern eCorpus, featuring detailed annotations guided by the Multiliteracies Pedagogy framework. As the project has progressed and the university community has evolved, the team has broadened its scope to serve a growing number of transdisciplinary students seeking support from the Language Centre. These features also extend beyond the project’s original ‘Art’ and ‘Tech’ focus, transforming into what we see today on the website.
Why This Project?
This project provides a response to a critical need identified in several key HKBU strategic documents that emerge after 2023. The Language Education Paper, for instance, highlights effective transdisciplinary academic communication as a vital student competency. This aligns with the Language Centre’s plan, which commits to developing these skills and piloting a transdisciplinary e-learning platform.
