Eugene Leung Yi Ching, Graduate of MATESOL (2018)
In my humble opinion, choosing to study in The Education University of Hong Kong is one of the best career moves that I have made. The courses offered by the Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MATESOL) cover both technical and professional knowledge related to the field of English Education, and opened the minds of aspiring education professionals.
Despite being a business major in my undergraduate study, MATESOL programme has equipped me with the insightful knowledge in language research, English language and education, within a short period of study. After graduation, it is my great honour to be recruited into the research team of the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies as a Research Assistant, continuing my development in language studies.
Therefore, I highly recommend MATESOL to all aspiring education professionals, regardless of their previous academic backgrounds.

Updates from Centre for Language in Education
The Centre for Language in Education (CLE) plays an integral part of the students’ language learning in the University by offering the regular Chinese, English and Putonghua enhancement programmes and supplementing the formal curriculum with non-formal language learning activities including various workshops for preparing students for the public language tests. To address the diverse language learning needs of different groups of students in 2018/19, CLE works closely with different units of the University, eg the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts (on the music busking activities to connect people through music and languages), the Department of Early Childhood Education (on the support for non-Chinese-speaking students), the Faculty of Education and Human Development (on the pilot scheme of International English Language Test System [IELTS] and Putonghua Shuiping Ceshi for higher diploma students), etc.
