St Louis School is an aided EMI school located in the Central-Western district on Hong Kong Island. The English teachers, Mr Ho and Mr Lam, planned some SBA activities and tasks based on the elective Workplace Communication, and used it as a trial for the HKDSE English SBA.

The activities and task developed related to the production of a new mobile phone. Before the assessment, students were given a few writing tasks, such as comparing different mobile phones. They were then asked to design a questionnaire to collect other students’ opinions about mobile phones. Using the questionnaire, students had to interview some friends to find out what types of mobile phones students would like, and what functions they found important. Based on the results they collected, they had to give a presentation on their idea for a new phone to develop, and convince others to accept their design. In a group interaction, they were also asked to discuss with a few other students what features this new phone should include. They had to decide what features and kinds of phones would appeal to a certain target group.
