I have long dreamt to be an English teacher and a researcher in English. The MAILE program offers a wide range of courses that cater for the needs of both future teachers and potential researchers. Some courses, for example, Teaching Methodology and Curriculum Design, are for professional teacher training while some, like World Englishes, are for the interests of researchers. The interactions with lecturers and students from different cultural backgrounds were also valuable for me, which has broadened my horizon to a large extent. The well-balanced program has provided me a solid foundation to pursue for further study now in CUHK; the knowledge and experience that I have gotten from the MAILE program are useful for my research study.

Pursuing the Master’s Degree in International Language Education in HKUST is an absolutely unforgettable experience: academic atmosphere, supportive staff, breathtaking scenery, advanced facilities, and most importantly, our professional and lovely teachers. We “suffered” in the “University of Stress and Tension” for the projects and papers; we love it for the wonderful memories: Orientation Day, poster presentation, project design, teaching practicum, cuttlefish trip, visits to local schools, TVB & Phoenix… I’ve been working here in the Center for Language Education since graduation, which leads me to believe that it is an amazing place of infinite opportunities.
