Mr Henry Choi, Language Trainer, HKU SPACE

‘It is the supreme of art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge’ said Albert Einstein. Mr Henry Choi believes this is a true reflection on his teaching methodologies whenever he engages with his students. He has been teaching a variety of English courses ranging from general, business and academic at HKU SPACE. Mr Choi’s educational background includes a BSc Computer Science at Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester and CertTESOL at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. There is no single approach when teaching as every lesson can be diverse in terms of student personality however they are unified by the same learning outcomes. Regardless of students’ proficiency, Mr Choi always extends a welcoming hand to assist them on their English needs.

Remarks

Language - English 

 


‘Take this course la, it's very hea’ ‘Let me think about it ma, but you add oil’ ‘I no do English course’ 'Thankyue sie'

This is a common Hong Kong English we see every day but what are the reasons behind this? After our colonial days, has our level of English really spiral downwards or is it other Asian countries have just got better? 

Join me in my talk on the Open Day afternoon to find out why people use Hong Kong English and also learn the correct ways to convey these ideas.
