The Retreat of the Faculty of Humanities (FHM) was held on 18 March 2019 at Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Shatin. The Retreat aimed to provide a platform for the Dean, Associate Deans, Heads and Associate Heads of the FHM’s constituent units, Programme Leaders (PL) of the Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate programmes, as well as PLs and the Faculty Coordinator of the Certificate in Professional Development Programmes, to share their views on the directions and the strategic development of the Faculty, in particular on the issues relevant to the University’s Strategic Plan 2016-2025 on three areas: 1) Academic Development; 2) Research and Knowledge Transfer; and 3) Management and Infrastructure with reference to the Key Performance Indicators of the University.
The Retreat contained three sessions in which colleagues were divided into three groups, mainly in accordance with their roles in the Faculty to facilitate discussions on relevant topics, such as visions and missions of departments/centre, learning and teaching, academic development and programme management, as well as research and knowledge transfer.
Participants found that the Retreat was a valuable platform to facilitate exchange of views and brainstorming of important issues relevant to the development of the Faculty.

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.
