Worthy to note is that last year was a very productive year in the number of seminars the Department offered. The Department hosted five seminars in the past few months, three given by our colleagues (Dr. Ma Qing, Angel, Professor David C.S. Li, Dr. Joanne Chuk, Dr. Chen Hsueh Chu, Rebecca and Ms. Wang Qian, Bobbie) and two given by two colleagues from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Dr. Carmen Lee and Dr. Chan Ho Leung, Derek). We were very excited to have two overseas guest professors give a series of seminars on linguistics and use of technology. Professor Su, I-wen, Lily from National Taiwan University gave two seminars, one with the title "Nominalisation as Grammatical Metaphor" on 24 March 2014 and the other one《似水流年:中文的時間隱喻》on 25 March 2014. The other guest professor was Professor Jozef Colpaert from the University of Antwerp of Belgium, who gave us two seminars on technology use, and language learning and teaching on 28 March 2014. The topics of Professor Jozef Colpaert's first and second seminars were "How to Determine Which Technologies to Use, Where, When and How: An Engineering Approach to Language Learning and Teaching" and "Getting Published in CALL: Topics and Methodologies" respectively. Finally, suggestions from readers for anything related to what is going on in the Department are always welcome. We hope everyone has a great summer!
