The 2nd Summer Learning Tour: Chinese History and Culture was organised by the Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese History) (BEd[CHI HIST]) from 8 to 15 May 2018 in Beijing. A total of 14 students from the BEd(CHI HIST) and Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History) visited Tsinghua University, as well as some famous historical sites and museums. The tour had encouraged exchanges between Hong Kong and mainland students and strengthened students’ understanding of the history, culture and natural landscape of mainland China. Here are some students’ sharing:
“I gained much from this trip to Beijing. I experienced the wonderful study atmosphere in Tsinghua University. I had also visited different historical sites and attractions in Beijing. I was grateful that I was given the opportunities to broaden my horizons and enhance my vision. I hope that the programme could continue to organise such study tours to strengthen our understanding of history and culture of China.” (Chan Ho Leung, Year 3 Student of BEd[CHI HIST])

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.
