Both traditional print books and online e-books have advantages and disadvantages for primary students’ English learning. By combining the advantages of print books and online e-books, the CARE book concept supports young English learners with a new and rich reader experience. In this project sharing presentation, Dr Tim Taylor, a senior lecturer in the Dept of ELE at EdUHK, shares the challenges and opportunities of teaching English through children’s stories in the age of online learning. The CARE Book innovation is to harness the advantages of both print and e-books. Unlike other physical books, the CARE book also offers augmented reality (AR) while retaining the traditional advantages of a physical text. The e-book edition on an e-book platform, compliments the print book and offers integrated audios, videos and H5P assessment activities to engage young English readers.
