Professor Clarence Green receives the Research Output Prize 2024-25

We are delighted to share that Professor Clarence Green, Assistant Professor in the Faculty’s Academic Unit of Language and Literacy Education, has been awarded the Research Output Prize 2024-25 (ROP) in recognition of his outstanding contribution to research.

The award acknowledges Professor Green’s article, “Vocabulary exposure to children is enhanced by using both informational and narrative picture books for read‐alouds: A comparative modelling study using data science methods,” co-authored with Dr Kathleen Keogh and published in the Journal of Research in Reading, 47(4), 497-516. The study examines how exposure to informational and narrative picture books may alter children’s language environment in a way that supports reading development.

The Faculty-based Research Output Prize accords recognition to an author (or team of authors) of a single research output item published or created in the preceding calendar year. For more details about the award, please visit: https://www.rss.hku.hk/honours-awards/internal-awards
