It does this through recognising HKU undergraduate courses that enhance students’ oral, written, visual and digital communication competence. The initiative also brings together teaching staff from across Faculties and build a community of practice of enhancing students’ communication competence. http://cics.hku.hk/
The English Language Advising programme offers one-to-one consultation sessions that assist students to develop language learning strategies on a longer-term basis. Conducted by experienced lecturers, such sessions aim to help students define their own learning goals, devise learning plans, engage in and reflect on learning activities and progress over time. https://caes.hku.hk/css/
The coronavirus outbreak and move to online teaching provided the impetus for ‘Teachers’ Lift’ - an inter-institutional podcast about teaching - which was made possible through a collaborative effort between HKU, HKUST, and PolyU. With university teachers’ questions and concerns in mind, TL takes the form of an informal dialogue between the show hosts and practitioners. It hopes to build and sustain a community of practice and aims to create opportunities for academics to engage in professional development.
