The Management of Native-speaking English Teachers in Hong Kong
The Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) scheme was introduced by the Hong Kong
Education Department in 1998. By providing each secondary school with at least one native-
speaking English teacher, it is expected to increase students' English exposure and help enhance
their English proficiency. Through a detailed and multi- faced examination of four NETs, the
present study aims to provide information on the management of the scheme by looking into
the differences in pedagogical expectations and approaches of the NETs. Authentic and detailed
investigations are conducted with triangular research methodologies, using interviews,
classroom observations and questionnaires.
