Head's Message

"Language is the blood of the soul, into which thoughts run and out of which they grow." These words penned by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. speak to the important role language plays in developing and communicating our thoughts, passions, ideas, discoveries, and technological breakthroughs. In today's world, which is arguably more interconnected and intertwined than ever before, an individual's capacity to span continents and cultures with clear communication is essential for professional success. Therefore, enhancing multilingualism and multiculturalism at CityU is part of the core mission of the Chan Feng Men-ling Chan Shuk-lin Language Centre.

With the above in mind, the Language Centre, or LC, as it is affectionately known, offers courses in Cantonese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Putonghua), and Spanish. In addition to these expertly-designed courses, the LC offers a host of other services and resources to facilitate your success via its Language Centre Hub, Language Centre Support Services (LCSS), Language Advising, YouTube channel, and other online learning aids.

It is our hope that you'll take the time to explore our website and all we have to offer. We also welcome you to contact us or visit our Language Centre Hub to learn more about the ways in which we can help you on your language learning journey.


Sincerely,
Wesley Curtis, PhD
Head, Chan Feng Men-ling Chan Shuk-lin Language Centre
