Introduction

The Language Centre was set up as an independent teaching unit in September 1999, providing language modules (English,
Chinese and Putonghua) for a student population of over 2,000 from the Departments of Business Services and Management,
Information and Communications Technology, Construction and Engineering. Through its tailor-made teaching programmes,
students are helped to enhance their language proficiency in general and acquire vocational language skills for the workplace.

The Centre is staffed with 20 well-qualified and resourceful language teaching professionals. They assess the situation, exercise
professional judgement and decide on teaching materials and strategies to meet students' needs and learning styles. Classes are
conducted in a variety of formats: lectures, group discussions, role-play, pair-work, presentations, projects, etc.

The Centre is equipped with excellent facilities: 3 multi-media language laboratories with 44, 44 and 20 booths respectively and
an Independent Language Learning Centre.
