Public Lecture Series by the Department of English Language Education

The public lecture series organised by the Department of English Language Education (ELE) provides a platform to expose local teachers and members of the public to aspects of language learning that are seldom taught in school.  The lecture series held on consecutive Saturdays beginning from 4 March and ending on 1 April of 2017 was well received.  It successfully drew over 670 participants to our campus, which was an increase of over 140 participants from the prior year.  We would like to offer heartfelt thanks to Dr Jeffrey Clapp and Dr Regine Lai from the Department of Literature and Cultural Studies, Dr Lixun Wang and Dr Gregoire Winterstein from the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies (LML) , and Dr Paul Stapleton, Ms Clairine Chan from ELE for making this Public Lecture Series a success.
