The Master of Arts in Chinese Studies (Language Education) (MACSLE) Scholarship aims to recognise MACSLE students with outstanding academic performance in the first semester.

There are four MACSLE Scholarship awardees for the academic year 2019/20. All of them have attained a GPA of 3.5 or above and demonstrated a good professional attitude towards learning. Here are some awardees’ sharing:

Lee Kwing Shing

The teachers in MACSLE are very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and approachable. They often arrange academic discussions with students. Under their patient guidance, I gradually mastered some research methods and became active in expressing academic opinions. This critical engagement provides a great help to my future study and career.

Zhang Ting

I have received academic guidance and encouragement from the teachers and also gained the friendship with my peers during my study in The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK). Learning doesn't require to ‘fight alone’. Every group discussion and project is an opportunity to learn cooperation and help each other.

Zhang Xiaoyue

I was major in Chinese Language and Literature during my undergraduate studies. Choosing MACSLE as my further studies was not only because of my passion in literature, but also a hope for acquiring different learning methods to broaden my horizons and improve my comprehensive abilities. I am grateful to EdUHK for making my dream comes true, especially thanks to my teachers who act as role models for learning.

Zhai Xinying

Although I had already obtained a Master Degree before joining EdUHK, I became skillful in research and annotation of academic papers, as well as to feel the real pleasure in studying via MACSLE. Many thanks to EdUHK and every teacher who have guided me during my study.
