You can’t just take a ‘language pill’ and know the language the next day when you wake up.’ Prof Chen prefers the metaphor of learning to swim. ‘Can you learn the skills by just watching other people swim? You can sit and watch Olympic medalists swim for hours but you would never be able to swim by just watching. You have to get into the water and do it. Learning English is the same, you need to use it, and you can do it by finding something in English that you love. For instance, if you like English TV or movies, go watch them with or without English subtitles (but not with Chinese subtitles!). Force yourself to go through with it. With time, you’ll be able to understand the language, and you won’t think of it as something that requires hard work.’ ‘Each ELC instructor works very hard. Every step we take aims to motivate our students to learn and to grow,’ says Prof Chen. ‘I would like to quote a colleague of mine, Dr Alice Lee, one of the ELC’s Senior Instructors. Last year in a retreat we shared our motivations for teaching. Dr Lee said she teaches to “pay it forward”. She had been taught by wonderful and inspiring teachers who made such a positive difference to her life, and she wants to be such an influence to her own students. It summed up the approach of all of us at the ELC; we aim to be an inspiring and positive influence on our students’ university learning, indeed their whole life.’ 㡡ᩂᐑእ Ǘ成功ⅰᐑಾゔ␗ᅞつ˗ᑘ⦾ᒿФ㐫ǎǘ Prof Chen believes any successful curriculum requires constant modification to improve learning outcomes ኡ̡ ⛁⌔ ⇎〯ゥḘᣡ Scan the QR code to watch the video interview
