[專頁公告] 英文學習「生態系」更新
English Learning Ecosystem Update
As I began exploring Instagram, I struggled to find a way to deliver useful academic content. Instagram posts typically focus on images, short clips, and concise text, which are attention grabbing but not always entirely conducive to language learning. I looked over the posts of established Instagram English learning accounts, and experimented with vocabulary posts and even news posts for a couple of weeks. Not wanting to post just images, I thought about creating something new even with the rigid format of the platform.
當我開始研究怎麼用IG,我想盡了各種辦法,希望能提供大家一些實用的學術內容。 IG 的特色著重在圖片、短片以及簡潔的文字,這樣的方式雖然很容易引人注目,卻不全然有助於語言學習。我瀏覽了 IG 上英文教學網紅的貼文,並在這幾週嘗試發了一些學術單字與新聞相關的文章。我並不想只是發一些圖片,而思考著要如何在既有框架下創作一些新的東西。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A tenet of using tech in education is to engage students with what they are familiar with, not give them an entirely new platform that is difficult to use. So, how could I create a new series of Instagram posts that is both educational and unique? I thought about my goal to disseminate academic English resources, and how I could leverage my experience as a curriculum writer and voice recording artist for public school textbooks.
一個使用科技進行教育的原則是用學生熟悉的方式與他們互動,而非用了全新的平台卻使他們難以學習。那麼,我應該如何創作獨特且具教育意義的一系列全新 IG 發文呢?我想到了我傳遞學術英文資源的目標,以及思考到該如何發揮身為教科書編輯者與音頻錄製者的經驗。

So far, this is what I have at the moment. I will post Word of the Day (每日一詞), high frequency vocabulary words that you see in academic texts and sometimes on the news. These Tier 2 academic vocabulary words are not exclusive to a single domain and complement the theme-based approach I’ve taken with my mind-mapping vocabulary class. You can find other vocabulary learning methods here.
這是我目前所想到的內容:我會發布「每日一詞」,也就是學術文章或是新聞中有時出現的高頻字彙。這些Tier 2學術詞彙並不限於單個領域,更補充了我在心智圖詞彙攻略課程中採用的主題式學習法。你還可以在下面網站找到其他詞彙學習方法。

In these posts, I added the pronunciation, collocation, and example sentences of each word for students. These words will be helpful to university-level students who often read academic texts and the news. Students can access them by simply clicking on the hashtag 學術英語單字.
在這些貼文中,我為學生提供了發音、搭配用法和例句。這些單字會對經常閱讀學術文章和新聞的大學程度學生有所幫助。學生只要點貼文上的#學術英語單字即可看到貼文。

To help students use more precise and common academic phrases, I then added Academic Phrases (每日一句), set phrases that appear in both academic speech and writing. These phrases have varying functions from introducing a topic to comparing and contrasting ideas. There is a difference between speech and writing, so I picked words that could be used for both. If one is used only in a specific context, I will make note of it in the video recording. This series of posts will help students with language output, and can be found under the following hashtag 學術英語片語.
為了幫助學生使用更精準、更道地的常見學術用語,我們接著會進入「每日一句」,也就是在學術演說與寫作中常見的用語。這些片語具有不同的功能,範圍涵蓋介紹主題到比較、對比想法等等。而演講和寫作之間也有不同,所以我選擇了都可以使用的片語。如果只能在特定情況下使用,我會在影片中特別說明。該系列文章將會幫助學生提高語言輸出能力,可以在 # 學術英語片語找到。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
Last, I will follow up with an abridged version of breaking news (時事英文) with high frequency collocations and audio recordings. This will provide students with the input of not only individual words, but how to use them in output (speech and writing) with context. While all these news posts might seem independent at first, I will eventually link and organize them by theme when there are enough posts. Along with my news class, these extra posts will help students stay aware of current events, acquire set phrases used in journalism, and develop critical thinking. These posts can currently be found under the hashtag EEL時事英文.
最後,我們會跟進精簡版的「時事英文」,其中包含高頻搭配詞與錄音資料。這些內容不僅可以提供你們輸入單字,而且可以幫助你們知道如何搭配情境輸出,再將這些內容使用在口說與寫作中。這些貼文一開始雖然看似獨立,當素材足夠後我會再將他們進行連結與整理。這些貼文和我的新聞課程將幫助學生維持對時事的敏銳度,掌握新聞中使用的固定用法,並養成批判性思維。這些貼文目前可以在 # EEL時事英文。

[Science and Communication]
我還在讀本科時,年少無知,覺得做科學,應該不拘小節,論文、Poster、PowerPoint 等,只應在乎內容而非「格式」。只要內容好,科學準確,排版、字體、用色、甚至錯字都無所謂。
後來發現,科學領域內,傳訊十分重要,而且匯報是展現研究成果,注意細節,才是敬業樂業的表現。所以儘管本人視覺藝術天份奇差,也開始留意設計原理,也開始注意行內設計,才發現到處都是災難級的設計。
最近寫博士學位的期中報告,就Typography我已用了大半天參考不同文章。雖然對設計師來說可能見笑,但我這初哥已經盡力。最後Headings一致用無腦Helvetica,內文用Garamond,古典但優雅,讀起來才有可信、已確定(established) 的感覺,DNA序列用Courier,字距一致才容易做DNA並列對比。大家的論文又用什麼字體呢?(不才,懂設計的朋友請指教)
對於我這種設計白痴,中央聖學子的貼文都很啟蒙。從事科學的朋友,我們該好好注意自己的設計了,你的poster有犯這些錯誤嗎?
【Typography Matters】(營養長文!!!)香港美術及設計教育,一直以來都麻麻地重視 Typography(字體排印學)。近十多年遇着個別有熱誠有才能嘅教育工作者,偶爾會有小陽春,業界亦好視乎個別執業者取向;但整體上,香港地無論學院抑或業內,重視 Typography 嘅人,實屬小眾,practise 得好嘅,更係少之又少。個人電腦普及前,字體應用及排印,都必定交由專業人士負責,質素衰極有個譜;然而,差不多係人都識用 Word、Excel、小畫家等軟件打字、畫圖、列印、發佈後,因差劣 Typography 而引發嘅溝通錯誤及視覺污染——自文字及印刷術發明以來——係史上最最最最嚴重的。
科技賦予人類能力,但冇賦予知識。人人用電腦揀字款打字排版做所謂「文書處理」,但當中有幾多個懂得基本 Typography?或,當中有幾多個知道有「Typography」呢樣嘢呢?記得留學時老師講過,或許設計上有好多範疇都冇甚麼絕對黑白對錯,但係响 Typography 嘅領域,有唔少理論及應用係黑白分明對錯有特定準則的。「靚囉」好少會出自 typographer 把口。
早前有人留意到康文署有套經過精心設計嘅温文意雅告示標語橫額,甚為破格,引來網上小眾討論。今日陽光普照,離開鍵盤,到赤柱走走,畀我發現咗啲嘢。特意寫兩句與大家分享一下。🙂
[Layout]
求其粗疏地响聖士提反灣周圍𥄫𥄫,做咗個微型 visual audit,諗住學下嘢。Woow~!真係獲益良多,原來而家尖端標示設計嘅 typography 已經同我以前學嗰套好有距離。首先(見圖由上至下左至右),大大塊告示板,個 layout 唔似有 grid,相當 dynamic,四個主標示 zig zag 咁放,size 不大,語氣和善,活潑可人,綠綠藍藍與泳灘氣氛連成一片。
[Hyphen]
Typography 中,英語 punctuation(標點符號)往往最被忽略。「Please - No Kite-flying」三個字中有兩個 hyphens,「Kite-flying」嗰個冇咩問題,怪就怪在「Please」之後嗰個。因為 hyphen 一般用作 compound terms 或 word division,當破折號或冒號咁用好似比較罕見。
//
For most writers, the hyphen’s primary function is the formation of certain compound terms. Compound terms are those that consist of more than one word but represent a single item or idea.
In professionally printed material (particularly books, magazines, and newspapers), the hyphen is used to divide words between the end of one line and the beginning of the next. This allows for an evenly aligned right margin without highly variable (and distracting) word spacing.
//
同中文標點好唔同,英文類似破折號嘅短小橫線標點有三種:hyphen (-), en dash (–), em dash (—),長度不一功能各異,唔可以亂用。
//
The en dash (–) is slightly wider than the hyphen (-) but narrower than the em dash (—). The typical computer keyboard lacks a dedicated key for the en dash, though most word processors provide a means for its insertion.
//
長話短說,日常應用嚟講 en dash 多數用嚟當「至」咁用,如日期或時間,「2005–2018」,「9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.」。正統前後冇 space,但我覺得若嫌太迫,kern 疏少少都無傷大雅。至於當破折號(或冒號)以作補充之用就應該用最長嘅 em dash。
//
The em dash is perhaps the most versatile punctuation mark. Depending on the context, the em dash can take the place of commas, parentheses, or colons—in each case to slightly different effect.
Notwithstanding its versatility, the em dash is best limited to two appearances per sentence. Otherwise, confusion rather than clarity is likely to result.
Do not mistake the em dash (—) for the slightly narrower en dash (–) or the even narrower hyphen (-). Those marks serve different purposes and are further explained in other sections.
//
[Apostrophe]
Prime mark (') 同 apostrophe (’),前者係小直劃,後者係升高咗嘅𢭃號,再想發揮創意都唔應該用錯。鍵盤碼點打,呢度唔多講嘞,自己 google 啦。
[a.m. and p.m.]
「a.m.」、「p.m.」係拉丁文「ante meridiem」同「post meridiem」嘅縮寫,所以正寫應該係細階兼有點點。但係設計上有時想省略簡化正寫達至美感要求,我覺得响意思唔被干擾下,可以接受。但時間數字與 am 或 pm 中間,應該有 space,連埋寫成一個字咁會怪怪,尤其出現於正統聲明。
[Title Case vs Sentence Case]
究竟幾時用 title case,即每個字頭都大階;幾時先用 sentence case,即只得第一個字大階?!我有啲亂。我嘗試觸摸個 pattern,可能我資質太差,花咗成日都徒勞無功。
[Text Justification]
忽左忽右,我估本 guidelines 肯肯定有說明點用法,只係我呢個路人未察覺箇中奧妙而已。「Dangerous Goods Store」,畀我會將「Goods Store」排埋一行,以意思 break line 嘛。不過人哋咁排法,一定有 concept。
最後,發覺大標示板係用 Helvetica,小標語則用 Arial,當中有咩精心佈局或創意我唔敢亂估,只覺得呢種字款運用嘅 fusion 很富本地混雜視覺文化特色,好可愛。☺️

📌Labor Day📌
🇺🇸美國人為何不過五一勞動節?😲
今天是美國勞動節,一起來看看,美國的勞動節跟五一勞動節有何不同👈
In the United States, Labor Day is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. The holiday honors the American labor movement and the contributions workers have made to the country’s development and prosperity. Labor Day dates back to September 5, 1882, when the Central Labor Union of New York held a march to call for better working conditions.
These September marches quickly spread to other cities, and in 1894 Labor Day became an official federal holiday. While Labor Day focused on workers’ rights in the early years, it gradually became more of a family holiday. Because Labor Day Weekend is a three-day holiday in early September, families take advantage of this time to celebrate the end of summer with barbecues and picnics.
American Labor Day is not to be confused with International Workers’ Day, which is held on May 1. Established by a group of socialist and labor parties called the Second International, which met in Paris in 1889, this holiday is also celebrated as Labour Day or Workers’ Day in various countries around the world.
【✍關鍵單字】
1. movement:「運動」,可指有特定目標或訴求的社會運動,如the woman’s movement「婦女活動」。
2. march:「示威遊行」,指一群人以「遊行」方式來抗議或呼籲某事,而另一個類似的字protest則指做某件事公開表達反對或不滿,如罷工抗議。
3. federal holiday:「聯邦假日」,為全國性假日,美國的假日分成聯邦政府法定假日,如美國勞動節就是這類,而各州也有自己的假日。
4. socialist:「社會主義的」。
5. Second International:「第二國際」,正式名稱為社會主義國際(Socialist International),是由世界各國工人政黨組成的國際組織,在巴黎召開成立大會,通過勞工法案與五一節案,催生五一國際勞動節與三八國際婦女節。
【📕中譯】
九月的第一個星期一是美國勞動節,為國定假日,這天是紀念美國勞工運動以及勞工促進美國發展與繁榮的貢獻。美國勞動節可以追溯到1882年9月5日,紐約中央工會在這一天組織遊行,呼籲更好的勞工工作條件。
這些九月大大小小的遊行隨後擴散到美國其他城市,在1894年,勞動節正式成為國定聯邦假日。雖然早年的勞動節是為了爭取勞工權益,不過近年來已成為家族聚會的節日。美國勞動節剛好落在九月初的三天連休週末假期,美國家庭會趁這個假期烤肉或野餐,慶祝夏季的結束。
許多人會把美國勞動節和五一國際勞工節混淆。後者是由社會主義及工人政黨所組成的共產第二國際在1889年於巴黎成立訂下的,世界上許多國家會以勞動節(labour為英式拼法)或工人節的名稱來慶祝這個節日。

established用法 在 [請益] EST. +年代用法- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的八卦
小弟最近工作需求找很多潮牌的衣服
其中有很多用上了EST. 19XX之類的文字
EST.應該是指Establish的縮寫
那請問如果不用縮寫是
establish 19XX正確
還是established 19XX呢?
