DVD Launching Seminar: Promoting New Literacies in Hong Kong Schools
The Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong and the Quality Education Fund (QEF) are pleased to announce the launch of the DVD from the project, Promoting New Literacies in Hong Kong Schools. This project explored the potential of digital, mobile and popular cultural literacies to enrich English language learning and teaching in Hong Kong schools, and facilitated schools to integrate new literacies into the senior primary (P4-6) and junior secondary (F1-3) English language curriculum. The DVD features the work of the students and teachers of the twelve project schools, and shows the project teachers' planning processes, classroom implementation of new literacies-infused English language teaching, and students' work and reflections. The DVD also highlights the positive learning outcomes the teachers and students experienced in integrating new literacies in their English lessons, the challenges they faced, and their suggestions for future work. Each of these cases demonstrates the potential of new literacies to enhance English language learning and teaching.

The research and development of the DVD was funded by QEF and developed by Principal Investigator, Dr Matthew Clarke, Acting PI, Ms Margaret Lo, Co-Investigators Dr Jasmine Luk and Dr Svetlana Chigaeva, and the project team, in collaboration with students and teachers in 12 primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong.

Dr Angel Lin, Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning of the Faculty of Education, will launch the DVD. Dr Matthew Clarke and project researchers will share the key findings of the project and demonstrate the features of the DVD. A copy of the DVD will be given to registered attendees.

日本企業的信譽、員工的忠誠與企業理念及其文化探源研討會通告
幾十年前，日本也曾經是西方企業的廉價代工工廠，也曾經歷從製造到研發的產業升級，而"日本製造"的產品，亦在這幾十年中逐步確立了良好的口碑。同樣位於東亞作為中國近鄰似曾相似的日本現代產業發展路徑，在今天"中國製造"頻遭質疑的時刻，似乎特別具有借鑑意義。企業信譽涵蓋哪些方面？日企如何奠立企業的信譽？企業信譽又如何助力現代企業的發展？除了維繫顧客對企業產品的信用，企業信譽又如何依靠員工的忠誠而維繫？它的文化源頭在哪裡？

所謂"信譽"是指誠實守信的聲譽。它是交往雙方長期誠實、公平、履行諾言的結果。由於企業是一個以創造利潤為目的的經濟實體，因而當企業開始運行因產品的品質、價格、服務使客戶感到安全、安心、滿意，由此產生企業與客戶間的信譽所帶來的經濟利潤不是一時的、一次性的，於是企業與客戶間的信譽才有可能引領和營建其他層面多種組合如企業與股東、企業經營者與僱員、企業與銀行、企業與政府間的信用。換言之，沒有企業與客戶間的信譽，其他信譽就無從建立。所以可以說企業與客戶間的信譽是引領其他各對組合建立信用的基礎，是企業存在和持續發展的內在原動力。

企業信譽需要相應的條件去支撐，其中員工對企業的忠誠是獲取企業信譽的首要條件。日本企業員工對企業的忠誠在世界企業界也是極具特色倍受敬仰的企業文化之一，企業信譽和員工對企業的忠誠兩者密不可分，都是特定歷史文化積澱的產物。

本次講座以日本企業信譽和員工的忠誠為討論的核心，進而從日本人的企業理念分析日本企業信譽和員工忠誠心形成的歷史文化源頭。從而在更深的層面理解日本企業向近代工業社會轉型的特徵，以區別於西方近代工業社會中的企業文化，這對我國企業的繼續前行及其發展方向、發展道路的再思考無不具有新的啟示。
