Description
This study confirms that Hong Kong Chinese pupils studying Latin in a local Chinese medium of instruction secondary school perceive similar benefits to studying Latin through English medium of instruction as reported in over a century of studies in the United States, and elsewhere. It demonstrates that even a weekly lunchtime Latin lesson, supplemented by online chat support, and homework practice exercises delivered by a gamified App, can be positively received by pupils.
