Summary:This study focuses on a resource-based learning unit, the 'Chinese Idioms Cocktail' and the results of its evaluation at a primary school in Hong Kong. The 'Chinese Idioms Cocktail' unit utilises a self-designed PowerPoint presentation with the "True or False" game, cartoon film show, worksheets, 80 thematic printed materials on Chinese idioms, an idioms dictionary and encyclopedia and 10 related websites. The unit was carried out in the library. The authors argue that all library programs should be routinely evaluated to assess their effectiveness and to identify areas that can be improved. The results indicated that all of the resources contributed to the successful completion of the unit, although there were some areas that could be improved. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
