Annotation

This paper discusses how Hong Kong primary schools at present do not posses a straight method for trilingual education implementation, i.e. biliterate (written English and Chinese) and trilingual (spoken English, Cantonese and Putonghua), as officially encouraged since 1997. It proposes a possible regular model.
