Hong Kong Students' Attitudes Towards Cantonese, Putonghua, and English After the Change of Sovereignty

Examined the attitudes of Hong Kong secondary school students toward English, Cantonese, and Putonghua. Compared the language attitudes of two main groups of Hong Kong students, middle class elite and working class low achievers. Findings showed that the former group was more inclined to use English while the latter group was more inclined to use the vernacular Cantonese. (Author/VWL)
