Nurturing English Educators’ Global Mindset

Prof. Arthur Tsang and Prof. Scott Aubrey of the Faculty of Education organized the first Internationalization event for the BA (English Studies) and BEd (English Language Education) Co-terminal Double Degree Programme (ELED) on 2 October.

As part of an Internationalization in the Curriculum funded project, entitled ‘Capitalizing on CUHK international students to learn about English language education and use across the globe: A simple and sustainable Internationalization at Home initiative’, the event aimed to foster communication among international students, local students, alumni and teaching staff on the topic of English language education in global contexts. Special guests from the Education Bureau were also in attendance.

The event is an example of creating an Internationalization at Home (IaH) experience in line with the Programme’s learning objectives, from which current ELED students gained a more international vision and updated knowledge of English language use and education globally. Specifically, those in attendance learnt about the different facets of English language education and how English is used in Egypt, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan in highly interactive and entertaining ways.
