Course Description
This course provides a theoretical foundation to the understanding of English language teaching methodology. Through this course, students are expected to adopt and apply an international perspective on English language teaching in the face of increasing immigration and globalization. Selective methods used in teaching English to non-native speakers in Hong Kong and abroad are examined. The course covers the principles governing curriculum design and issues central to the implementation of different English teaching methods and theories; methods and theories appropriate to young and adult learners in second or foreign language contexts. The principles covered in this course form the basis for subsequent courses on English language teaching techniques. Text: D. Larsen-Freeman and M. Anderson, TECHNIQUES AND PRINCIPLES IN LANGUAGE TEACHING. Assessment: group presentation and discussion, English Language Teaching (ELT) Methods' Schemata, theory and methodology reflection paper.

Course Description
The new product market is growing fast in the past few years. On one hand, it gives marketers a greater opportunity to approach consumers directly, customize products and services for different groups of consumers, and eventually become more profitable. On the other hand, new product market is characterized by growth patterns exhibiting a high degree of uncertainty that makes them exceptionally difficult to predict and forecast. This course introduces theories (e.g., diffusion theory) and best practices in new product management; presents how to use the diffusion model to predict the sales of new products and analyze customer life time value in this market; and teaches how to make comprehensive marketing plans in the new product market.

Course Description
This course introduces the sociology of policing to lend understanding of the enforcement of law in a society. With a comparative perspective, the course examines institutions of police with regard to their role, function, organizational structures and culture in the contemporary world. Starting with a historical review of colonial policing in Hong Kong, the course unfolds gradually to reveal common policing issues and proceeds to assess the impact of transnational events like cross-border crime and global protest on local policing. Case studies of police practices in both local and global contexts are critically evaluated to identify the social forces that shape the respective social control process.
