MISSION
The mission of the Language Centre is to empower HKBU students with effective communication skills in English and Chinese (Cantonese and Putonghua), while nurturing their proficiency in additional languages such as French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Mandarin (for non-native speakers).
There are three overarching categories of competency that are highly valued in today’s educational landscape: cognitive (e.g. critical thinking, problem solving, innovation), interpersonal (e.g. oral communication, teamwork, leadership), and intrapersonal (e.g. self-efficacy, self-awareness, openness to diversity). At the LC, we are dedicated to providing a diverse range of learning opportunities that aim to develop students’ competencies across these three domains and prepare them to be global citizens through:
- Credit-bearing courses
- Supplementary courses
- Writing and Speaking Enhancement Services
- Peer-assisted Learning
- Cultural exchanges
- Workshops
- Contests and activities
- Independent language learning opportunities
The Language Centre is steadfast in providing a coherent and pedagogically robust curriculum that fosters self-expression in all taught languages. We also aim to instill a sense of learner-autonomy by helping students develop ownership and responsibility over the language learning process.
