Open Data and Contextualization of the Language Learning Process

Language is the primary tool for information exchange in the digital world. Arts students of the new age should not only be biliterate and trilingual but should also be equipped with knowledge in digital literacy and application skills. As industries accelerate digital transformation, the Faculty of Humanities, EdUHK, is offering the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Studies and Digital Communication” programme to improve students’ competitiveness. The programme provides a wide range of courses in English language, linguistics and digital literacy, such as English subject knowledge, information management, computer-assisted translation, and speech technology. Students will master knowledge in both the humanities and digital technology and understand the industry trends and needs. The programme provides an excellent background for job opportunities in education, media, journalism, publishing, and communication. Graduates are also well-equipped to work for international technological enterprises or other businesses with technology-driven innovation.

FHM students scooped nine awards, including Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit, at the “11th Hong Kong Outstanding Prospective Teachers Award” in recognition of their teaching skills and enthusiasm for education.
