Evans, Stephen; Morrison, Bruce – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2017
Research into the medium of instruction (MOI) in Hong Kong has traditionally focused on years 7-9; thus, little is known about school policies and classroom practices in the crucial senior-secondary years which fall beyond the ambit of government diktats.
