This project aims to promote higher order literacy skills among economically-disadvantaged students. Higher order literacy is critical for productive engagement in academic, economic and personal spheres of life in literacy-rich knowledge economies. Opportunities for disadvantaged students to develop advanced literacy skills are limited if schools serving these students focus predominantly on basic skills training. This project will investigate contradictions in policies and practices in Australia and Hong Kong to understand why and how disadvantaged students are supported or unsupported to learn higher-order literacy skills. It also explores successful practices that promote such learning, alongside basic skills, for disadvantaged students. This will provide significant benefits such as providing new conceptual understandings of the policy-practice interface and empirical evidence to inform the design of effective practices that promote higher-order literacy skills, alongside basic skills, for economically-disadvantaged students in Australia and Hong Kong.

该项目旨在促进经济困难学生的高级识字技能。在识字率高的知识经济体中，较高水平的识字率对于在学术、经济和个人生活领域进行富有成效的参与至关重要。如果为处境不利的学生服务的学校主要侧重于基本技能培训，这些学生发展高级识字技能的机会就会受到限制。该项目将调查澳大利亚和香港政策和实践中的矛盾，以了解为什么以及如何支持或不支持弱势学生学习更高层次的识字技能。它还探讨了促进弱势学生学习基本技能的成功做法。 这将提供重大的好处，如提供新的概念理解的政策实践接口和经验证据，以告知有效的做法，促进高阶识字技能，以及基本技能，在澳大利亚和香港的经济弱势学生的设计。
