He taught Portuguese in the Luso-Chinese Secondary School of Luís Gonzaga Gomes for ten years. Currently, he is the acting director of the Language Promotion Centre under the Education and Youth A" airs Bureau (DSEJ). He feels the greatest gain from his four years at UM is that the experience helped broaden his horizons. ‘In middle school, I was too focused on rote learning to truly understand the deep meaning. ! e Department of Portuguese not only provides language instruction, but also helps broaden the students’ horizons. ! e $ exible and open teaching method has had a great in$ uence on my way of thinking,’ he says. Wong studied in a Chinese middle school that did not o" er Portuguese courses. It was only a% er he joined UM that he started to learn Portuguese from scratch. With the encouragement and help of his teachers and fellow students, he quickly caught up with the rest of the class. ‘Learning Portuguese has greatly boosted my self-con# dence. A% er I started working, I won approval of my boss and got promoted because of my knowledge of the language.’ With many years of experience in learning and teaching Portuguese, Wong is keenly aware of the value and joy of being a Portuguese language instructor. ‘I have spent 14 years learning and teaching Portuguese,' he says. It has become an important part of my life. Portuguese has brought me self-actualisation, a sense of achievement, and the realisation that an expert is simply someone who focuses on doing one thing really well.’ Now working in the DSEJ’s Language Promotion Centre, he hopes to do more to promote Portuguese in Macao. Starting a Business in Angola António Ip graduated from UM in 2009. A% er graduation, he and his girlfriend (now his wife) both received job o" ers from a company in Angola. So they decided to pursue a career there. In 2014, four years a% er their arrival in Angola, Ip opened a restaurant with his friends. When they # rst arrived in Angola, the country had just entered a truce, with full-scale reconstruction underway. But this also brought many career opportunities for them. ! anks to their knowledge of Portuguese language, they quickly gained trust from local companies, and successfully built professional experience and networks. 葡語為黃崢志開拓思維與眼界 Learning Portuguese has broadened Wong Chang Chi’s horizons 23 umagazine issue 16
