Centre for Language in Education 語文教育中心 Message from Head Centre for Language in Education (CLE) is a service unit under the new Faculty of Humanities. According to the new language policy effective from September 2012/13, CLE’s core mission is to support HKIEd students’ development in Chinese, English and Putonghua with the help of comprehensive enhancement programmes. Another important part of our mission is to promote learner autonomy, with the ultimate aim of enhancing the language development of Hong Kong teachers and other professionals. CLE continues to support the Institute’s vision through language enhancement programmes and activities that nurture knowledgeable, caring and responsible students, Education and non-Education majors alike. We do this by enhancing their multilingual competencies, raising their cross-cultural awareness and helping them set a realistic plan for lifelong language learning as part of their goal toward developing professionalism in their chosen field and career. In addition, the Arthur Samy Language Learning Centre (ASLLC) will continue to provide a range of self-access resources, independent learning materials and multi-media facilities. Support activities such as individual and small-group language advising will be strengthened. The International Language and Culture Exchange Club (Club IEd) will continue to provide a variety of language-rich and culture-focused activities to foster informal interaction and cultural exchange.
