The Committee reaffirms that CUHK should maintain its tradition of bilingual education and enhance the bilingual policy of the University, and in that context, defines the roles of liangwen sanyu (‘two written languages and three spoken codes’). It recommends that the language of instruction should be determined taking into account the nature of the academic subject, professional requirements, and the language habits, competence and cultural backgrounds of the students and teachers concerned, and practical needs. The aim is to optimize the effectiveness of teaching and learning, allowing for flexibility, and to ensure that CUHK graduates have a very high level of proficiency in both languages. The consultation period will end on 15th November. The Committee is arranging forums and seminars to gather feedback from teachers, students and alumni. The report of the Committee is available on the website ( http://www. cuhk.edu.hk/bilingualism/en/report.htm ). An interview with the Chairman of the Committee, Prof. Ambrose King, can be found on P.6 of this issue. 中大支持兩文三語教育方針 提出優化雙語教育環境政策 CUHK Upholds Liangwen Sanyu and Proposes to Enhance the Environment for Bilingual Education
