Abstract
In this talk, we will present the Hong Kong Archive of Language Learning (HALL), the first digital archive in Hong Kong that collects, archives and disseminates stories of English learners in the city. At present, the HALL has more than 3,000 language learning narratives collected through face-to-face interviews and paper-based surveys across university campuses in Hong Kong since October 2014. The digital archive is a public-access resource that provides a holistic record of the diverse language learning and reading practices of Hong Kong learners in academic, leisure and professional settings. We will then draw on preliminary analysis of the narratives and discuss its potential as a pedagogical resource for language learners, teachers and researchers to develop English learning and teaching strategies both within and beyond the curriculum.
