We are also proud to offer language support of all sorts including Putonghua, Cantonese and English, not only to help our students to meet the "Language Exit Requirements" stated in the Language Policy but also to enhance the language learning environment in campus by working with language professionals in refining our curriculums from time to time. For the coming academic year 2014/15, CLE will implement a newly refined English enhancement programme, and introduce international tutors to work with us in providing language support. Other new initiatives for Chinese and Putonghua will also be in place for students. We welcome students to visit our website at http://www.ied.edu.hk/cle/en/ or our General Office at B2-G/F-03 for more information. Our administrative staff will be more than happy to help. Professor Cheng Kat Hung, Dennis ( 鄭吉雄教授) Head, Centre for Language in Education L Arthur Samy Language Learning Centre (ASLLC) ASLLC Week anguage games, apps, tongue-twisters, a fun-fair atmosphere and a constant stream of students eager to play proved a successful combination at the first ASLLC Week, held from 10 – 14 March 2014 at the Institute's self-access centre. Around 216 students tested their language skills for almost 600 times during the threeday event and in the process collected chops in the hope of winning student-friendly prizes. They were guided in their quest by 13 English language majors and ASLLC language instructors, who encouraged, cajoled and adjudicated in the name of fair play. The event was organised by Ms. Li Yuk Yi (research assistant) and Mr. Herbert Lam (executive assistant) to promote independent language learning and the support offered at the ASLLC. Despite keen gaming by the students, several winners tied, so a head-to-head competition was held before the end of March to settle scores and award prizes.
