abstract = "Chinese language education in its traditional sense focused primarily on the cultivation of students{\textquoteright} knowledge of Chinese language and literature, mainly via the root learning of exemplary writings. Many of these writings were in fact traditional varieties of CSP, although their literary achievements were often given primary attention. Alongside the study of such texts, modern practical writings are also introduced to students after the 1990s. This paper reviews the situation and practices in the Hong Kong education sector regarding research on and the practices of teaching “Chinese for special purposes”, the newly introduced “practical writing” or “Professional Chinese”. Emphasis will be put on the relationship between traditional varieties of CSP and modern practical writings, and how programmes in the latter are designed and delivered.",
