Annotation

This paper explores Hong Kong's post-2010/2011 (English as a) medium-of-instruction (MOI) policy in a Hong Kong secondary school. A probable result of this newly set policy may be a return to the colonial government's 1980s and 1990s laissez-faire policy, with virtually no control of policy implementation.
