The English Language Centre gives priority to teacher development. ELC-organized activities include:

Teacher Development Sessions, held weekly, at which ELC teachers share ideas and insights, sometimes with outside speakers

Teaching Development Day, usually held between Semester A and B, which focuses on a specific educational theme, such as testing or independent learning

Annual Retreat, usually held in Semester B, at which future directions and departmental teaching-related issues are discussed in a relaxing environment

ELC Colloquium on teacher-specified areas of interest, held on the first day of the academic year

Teacher Development Courses, organized from time to time in response to teachers’ needs

ELC staff also can also benefit from development opportunities offered by other CityU departments:

and support for the use of information technology in teaching, and individual consultations
