The ethnic minority population is increasing Hong Kong. Language learning is usually measured as one of the core indicators of acculturation. Chinese Tang poems use a specific mirror symmetry that could make people acquire unconscious learning. The goal of this pilot pre-post interventional trial with no controls is to explore the feasibility and preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of using fun activities for Tang poem reading to promote reciting and happiness in primary school ethnic minority and their families. Participants will be invited to participate in three Tang poetry recitation sessions and one participant performance session. The hypothesis is that participants with a greater number of successful recited poems will show higher happiness and enjoyment by students.
