香港人講「懶音」的情況愈來愈普遍,如「女仔」說成「呂仔」(n-、l-不分),「過」、「個」不分(gw-、g-不分),「講解」說成「趕解」(-ng、-n不分),「襪」、「默」不分(-t、-k不分)等等。
為了加強學生對粵語的敏感度,協助學生說出流利的粵語,提升整體的表達能力,我們申請了香港理工大學「教學發展及語文培訓補助金」(Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant for Language Enhancement Activities, LEG16-19/SS/CBS9),開展「『粵語懶音測試及糾正』網站」計劃。此計劃的目的是協助學生以標準的粵語作日常的交際溝通,減少懶音,以恰當、得體的粵語與外界接觸,完成傳意任務。

由於漢字數量多、結構複雜,香港學生寫錯別字的情況甚為普遍。進入大學後,學生主要使用電腦輸入文字,手寫中文的機會更大為減少,導致錯別字的問題愈見嚴重。多年來,不少學者已就此問題進行各項研究,而坊間的相關參考專書更是汗牛充楝,不可勝數。然而,上述所論多從傳統的形音義角度出發,較少從文體、語境方面加以深入討論。
有見及此,我們去年申請了香港理工大學「教學發展及語文培訓補助金」(Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant for Language Enhancement Activities, LEG16-19/SS/CBS10),開展「『專業文體的錯別字糾正』網站」計劃,旨在探討於特定場合或行業語境下之實用文類的錯別字問題,藉以協助學生準確書寫各類職場文書,以恰當、得體的書面語言與外界接觸,完成傳意任務。

This CEO Report is about tapping into the psychological thought-processes of how great problem-solvers see, interpret and makes sense of being stuck with complexity and what they do (or fail to do) to progress. To uncover these underlying thinking patterns we administered a rigorous and systematic interview approach from clinical psychology called, Repertory Grid Technique (RGT). Our sample consists of fifty (50) seasoned CEOs /Executives spanning a wide range of industry sectors. Seven (7) inherent latent themes emerged from our analysis as to what are the core drivers (habits of mind) that help executives open up the alternatives whenever they find themselves stuck with complexity.

You’re sitting down for dinner with an old friend to catch up. You’re in the middle of sharing an anecdote when their phone dings. Their eyes shift to the screen, and they slide their device into their lap to send a reply.
Most of us have been on both sides of this scenario, and while it may seem harmless, these kinds of distractions during our everyday interactions can make people feel unheard or unimportant, fragment our attention, and hurt our relationships. On the other hand, research shows that active listening — putting your full focus on your conversational partner to truly understand their message — can help us anticipate problems, resolve conflicts, expand our knowledge and build trust.
Like any skill, active listening can be practiced and cultivated. Here are three key ways to become a better listener.

“Have you ever had this experience?” asks physicist Dominic Walliman in a TEDxEastVan Talk. “You’re having a chat with someone, and they’re telling you something about a subject they’re very interested in or they know a lot about, and you’re following along. Then, at some stage you realize you kind of lost the thread of what they’re saying … You realize you have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.”

Managers have tried various strategies and perks to boost employee engagement—all with little impact on long-term retention and performance. But now, neuroscience offers some answers. Through his research on the brain chemical oxytocin—shown to facilitate collaboration and teamwork—Zak has developed a framework for creating a culture of trust and building a happier, more loyal, and more productive workforce.
By measuring people’s oxytocin levels in response to various situations—first in the lab and later in the workplace—Zak identified eight key management behaviors that stimulate oxytocin production and generate trust: (1) Recognize excellence. (2) Induce “challenge stress.” (3) Give people discretion in how they do their work. (4) Enable job crafting. (5) Share information broadly. (6) Intentionally build relationships. (7) Facilitate whole-person growth. (8) Show vulnerability.
Ultimately, Zak concludes, managers can cultivate trust by setting a clear direction, giving people what they need to see it through, and then getting out of their way. In short, to boost engagement, treat people like responsible adults.

You can't just switch on teamwork. It takes time for a new team to "gel" and work to its full potential. What's more, team members go through stages as they move from strangers to co-workers.
Bruce Tuckman's Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model describes these stages. When you understand Tuckman's model, you'll know how to help your new team to become effective – faster. Let's look at how.
