CCC YENCHING COLLEGE
Development of Language Across the Curriculum for English-medium Education (DOLACEE)
Implementation Plan
2008-2009
1. Aim:
This is a staff development programme with the aim of enhancing subject language proficiency
of our students through effective classroom practices and cross-curricular collaboration.
2. Time Frame and Target:
We aim to involve ALL teachers in the course with the exception of those teaching in the
medium of Chinese in order to create a better atmosphere. In order to derive the utmost benefit,
and given the existing workload of our colleagues, the course will be targeted at Science and
Mathematics and Information Technology teachers initially.

(2008/2009) is as follows:
